Managing GHG emissions and the expectations of our stakeholders regarding environmental stewardship is vital to our long-term success. ONEOK has identified GHG emissions as an important area of focus, and we continuously look for opportunities to reduce emissions through strategic programs and initiatives.

Continued methane emission reductions is a key focus area. Since 2019, we have reduced absolute methane emissions from our Scope 1 operations by 36%. We continue to reduce methane year over year by leveraging methane detection technology, implementing methane best management practices and eliminating methane emissions sources in our operations.
