Sustainability by the numbers
At California Resources Corporation (CRC), we believe transparent reporting of our sustainability data enhances our stakeholder engagement, strengthens our performance, and further supports our role as a dependable and dedicated energy producer. Accordingly, we have continued to expand our sustainability disclosures, and are providing the tables below to summarize a subset of our publicly reported sustainability performance data. Our Annual Report and Proxy Statements provide additional details on our financial and governance information. CRC's sustainability goals and our strategy align with California's climate goals by providing safe, affordable and reliable energy sources necessary to help ensure human welfare and a more inclusive and equitable economy and society in the context of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals.

- Total GHG emissions include operated direct emissions (see footnote "J" for exclusions) plus Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions from our operations of the Elk Hills and Long Beach power plants, as well as gas processing at Elk Hills gas plants. Emissions are calculated, reported and verified in accordance with California regulations and emissions estimation protocols.
- Operated direct emissions include Scope 1 GHG emissions from oil and gas drilling, production and electricity use at fields operated by CRC and exclude those from our operations of the Long Beach power plant and the Elk Hills gas and power plants. Emissions are calculated, reported and verified in accordance with California regulations and emissions estimation protocols.
- Scope 3 includes Categories 1-15.
- Other emissions are calculated in accordance with California Air Districts emission reporting estimation protocols.
- Reportable release definitions vary by location. Any volume of oil released into state waters must be reported in California. Net oil released means the volume of crude oil and condensate spilled in reportable releases outside of containment and not recovered in liquid form of 25% or greater oil cut. Includes oil volumes spilled at divested properties for 2022. Produced water spills are those reported in California with less than 25% crude oil in released fluid.
- See "Definitions and Forward-Looking Statements" section for water definitions applied by CRC.
- Energy use calculated based on GRI 302-1 guidance. Renewable energy use is grid electricity purchased multiplied by renewable percentage of grid electricity sources.
- Hazardous waste as defined by the Resource Conservation Recovery Act.
- Board of Directors metrics per CRC's Proxy Statement filed in March 2025, and does not reflect subsequent changes to the Board.
- Exclusions: Total GHG emissions do not include third-party portable combustible equipment or supplied emissions which are covered in our Scope 3 emissions.
- The 2020 baseline emissions for Scope 1 is 6,045,000 mtCO2e and the baseline for Scope 2 is 478,000 mtCO2e. Additionally, Scope 1 and 2 emissions increased from 2024 to 2025 due to an increase in electrical generation.
