Statement on Oil & Gas CEOs Letter Calling for Carbon Pricing

We Mean Business welcomes the call for carbon pricing from CEOs of BG, BP, ENI, Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, and Total, but argues that real leadership requires specific investment commitments and transparency.

• We Mean Business supports the call by CEOs of BG, BP, ENI, Royal Dutch Shell, Statoil, and Total for a "clear, stable, long term policy framework" to implement effective carbon pricing, viewing it as a necessary step to encourage ambitious government climate policy.
• The coalition asserts that the oil and gas sector must move beyond calling for carbon pricing by making specific commitments to solutions they can implement, specifically "huge-scale investment in CCS" and the cessation of "methane flaring".
• We Mean Business urges oil and gas companies to increase transparency and collaboration by sharing their 2°C scenarios, disclosing carbon pricing policies through CDP, signing the UN Global Compact carbon pricing leadership principles, and joining the Carbon Pricing Leadership Coalition.
