Oil & Gas: Quantifying ESG Opportunities
In this report, we turn our attention to ESG risks in the global O&G sector and
apply our quantitative and cost of capital approach to allow risks to be evaluated
in the investment process. We establish ESG rankings for 64 companies.
■ Five ESG factors: 1) Country risk; 2) Asset risk; 3) Environmental risk; 4) Safety score ; 5) Governance score. We weight each factor equally.
■ Most O&G investors are focused on navigating a commodity down-
cycle, but the transition to a low carbon world is a medium term risk.
Markets have yet to differentiate between companies whose assets are
dependent on a 4° environment. As countries ratify detailed responses to the
2° limit, assets will be at risk
■ Correlation between ESG and cost of capital: we find a correlation of -0.12x between WACC and each additional point on our scoring methodology. This can be incorporated into DCF analysis to derive valuation implications.
■ Disclosure is an easy win for companies: whilst we hope to see companies continue to invest in environmental and safety measures, an easy, short term way to improve ESG rankings is disclosing metrics. We rate non-disclosure below poor performance.
■ We present two sets of ESG stocks for investors. The good –top quartile stocks where CS analysts have Outperform or Neutral ratings: Anadarko, ARC, Caltex, Hess Corp, Chesapeake, Marathon Oil, Marathon Petroleum, Newfield, Occidental, Noble, Santos and ConocoPhillips.
■ Those with the greatest potential for improvement and Outperform or Neutral ratings: Antero, EOG, Formosa Petrochems, Cenovus, Galp, Repsol, Kunlun, ONGC, Canadian Nat Resources, DiamondBack, Rosneft and Tupras. Some of this is due to poor disclosure.

Introduction The ESG and Global Energy Equity Research Teams have collaborated to introduce an
ranking of 64 large cap global producers and refiners globally. The ranking covers 5 key
factors - 1) Country risk; 2) Asset risk; 3) Environmental risk; 4) Safety score; 5)
Governance score. We weight each factor equally. We build the five factors from 16
different data points for each company to give a broad and in-depth view of a company's
ESG metrics. We believe that investors should find the comparability and trends in the data
useful in the investment process. We will publish regular annual updates, highlighting how
company performance has changed over time. We welcome comment and questions on
the data and the ranking methodologies from the companies covered and from investors.
ESG is important to Credit Suisse.
Executive summary
ESG is of ever-increasing importance today. Asset owners demand an ESG consideration
for their mandates as social and impact investing become the philanthropic face of
investments today. This spans the broad spectrum from sovereign wealth funds to retail
investors. We believe that a quantitative approach to ESG factors is the best way to
compare these risks. We have measured ESG factors for 40 companies in the mining
sector in our report ESG in the mining sector: Quantifying opportunities and in this oil and
gas sector report, we introduce ESG rankings for 64 oil and gas companies globally. We
build these rankings around five ESG pillars, weighting each pillar equally.
We then correlate these rankings with a company's cost of capital and find that the
correlations are very similar for both sectors – an r2
of 0.2529 for the oil and gas sector
compared to an r2 of 0.2437 in the mining sector. This quantitative approach allows
investors to assess different risk levels between companies and between sectors. It also
allows investors to change weightings to reflect specific areas of interest or those
considered more or less important. This approach will also enable us to capture ESG
improvements over time. We list the overall ESG score for each company in Figure 6 and
then scores for each factor in more detail later in the report.
As with the mining sector, the easiest area to capture improvement is through the
disclosure of information. We award the lowest rankings where data is not disclosed.
Disclosure or non-disclosure is management choice.
Behind the five principal ESG factors measured, country, asset, environmental, safety and
governance, we include considerable detail. This is all factual information provided by
companies but we believe our quantitative approach and level of detail involved to be
unique. All the detailed rankings are included in the report. The underlying data is available
in Excel format so that investors can change weightings or rankings so that they can see
the implied impact on potential valuations.

The two sectors incorporate broad and to some extent, similar, ESG risks – environmental
risks from extraction, energy-heavy production and processing, dangerous working
conditions in many instances – and face potentially changing demand scenarios within a
post COP-21 world. Nevertheless, there is no consistency between which factors rank as
important in terms of cost of capital drivers, despite these similar risks, as we see in Figure
4 and Figure 5 below. Three factors with potentially the most significant impact on asset
valuations and share prices – asset (only demand for a company's assets and production),
safety and environmental (both key operating risks) have a lower correlation than the top
down risk of the countries of operations and the widely differing levels of corporate
governance.

Key conclusions
We see a good correlation between the cost of capital in the oil and gas sector and ESG
scores. This is -0.12x for each point on our proprietary ranking system which is built from
ESG-related data disclosed by the companies and benchmark data for non-company
specific factors such as countries of operations. This means that were a company to
improve its ESG scores by 10 points on our ranking system, the theoretical cost of capital
would decrease by 1.2%, thereby raising valuations and target prices. The r2 of this
correlation is 0.2529, almost identical to the correlation of 0.2532 that we found in the
mining sector when we conducted the same exercise for 40 leading mining companies
globally ESG in the Mining Sector: Quantifying Opportunities.

For oil and gas companies, we illustrate the correlation of WACC with each individual
factor in Figure 8 to Figure 13. The strongest correlation, which comes as no surprise, is
between the country or countries of operations with an r2
of 0.4494. The weakest
correlation is with safety scores where the r2 is just 0.0045. We would also highlight the
inverse relationship between environmental rankings and a company's WACC. This is
counterintuitive in a world where there is increasing focus on environmental protection.

Disclosure would be the easiest area for companies to improve their rankings. As we
penalise companies for non-disclosure of generally available, potentially material risks that
are often cited in press reports, any disclosure of these operational metrics would improve
ratings. We are indeed surprised by the different level of disclosure by companies and
frequent reluctance to disclose data despite the general push for better reporting by the
Global Reporting Initiative. In the mining sector, we found that disclosure levels split
broadly between developed markets and emerging markets due to listing requirements.
However, in the oil and gas sector, we tend to find better disclosure in many areas by
emerging market companies compared to North American names. There is very varied
reporting across the sector of such factors as water usage intensity, gas flaring and
volumes of oil spills. This could be easily rectified with board and management
commitment and a good signal of a company's strategy towards managing and prioritising
ESG risks. Emerging market and Asian companies on the other hand generally give limited
details as to the profile and backgrounds of their board members. This too is an easy area
for improvement.

Figure 14 demonstrates how little the market has acknowledged and priced in ESG risks
over the past five years. Looking at a five year correlation, we see an R2 = 0.0092 but this
reflects a closer dispersion as the linear correlation is negative, ie there is no positive
pricing relative to companies with better ESG performance vs those with the greatest
scope for improvement. It is particularly disappointing to see the negative correlation
currently between governance with share price movements during the past 12 months
(Figure 15) despite as more and more investors starting to include ESG and governance
considerations in their investment process but that this has yet to be reflected in share
price movements.

COP 21 Adds An Extra Sense of Policy Urgency The COP 21 agreement in Paris in December 2015 set unique challenges for the global oil
and gas industry. The burning of coal, natural gas and oil lies behind 75% of global GHG
emissions. A total of 374bn mt of CO2 has been emitted since 1750 with half being
released since the mid-1980s. Despite numerous efforts to outline a climate agreement to
limit GHG emissions since the United Nations framework Convention on Climate Change
was ratified in 1992 (Kyoto 1997, Copenhagen 2009, Cancun 2010, Durban 2011 amongst
others), it took until December 2015 for the 197 countries represented to agree to a
universal, binding global treaty to reduce emissions.
At current levels of emissions, the world is set for an increase in temperature of 4°C above
pre-industrial levels by 2100, an increase at which climate change would become
irreversible (for more detail, please refer to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate
Change Fourth Assessment Report) . This would lead to rising sea levels, changing
climate conditions that would threaten food security, fresh water scarcity, higher risk
weather patterns and the loss of biodiversity. The Paris Agreement enshrines the long-
term goal of keeping the increase in global average temperatures to "well below 2°C above
pre-industrial levels" with the explicit aim of limiting the increase to even 1.5°C. Whilst the
detail country level responses are to be established, the Paris Agreement seeks for global
emissions to peak as soon as possible. With this framework now agreed, the mix in
demand for energy sources is set to shift over the medium to long run.

Shifting demand presents significant challenges for the industry both in terms of assets
and the business model. Fossil fuel reserves contain potential GHG emissions that could
exceed levels that would be permissible under the 2°C world, meaning that some assets
on company balance sheets will have to be written off as having zero economic value as
they would not be developed. These are potentially "stranded assets" and involve not just
reserves but infrastructure assets exposed to a shift in demand and emissions reduction.
Whilst this is the extreme outcome, companies may be forced to shift their business model
to focus on less polluting fossil fuels, i.e. gas or renewables. We discuss this in more detail
later in the report.

The Paris Agreement also implies that, at some point in the future, capex spent on further
exploration and development has potentially zero value unless it is to develop new lower
carbon assets that are short cycle oil resources that could be monetised for short term
returns to shareholders. Add to the mix the fact that many of the largest resource bases
are owned by State-owned companies and the ability for companies to prioritise the
development of their existing assets may be difficult.
We have already seen many companies look to adapt to this challenge with investment in
alternative, renewable energy sources such as wind power, solar power, biofuels etc. We
have also seen a widespread step back from exploration in such environmentally
vulnerable areas such as the Arctic Sea. President Obama blocked further Arctic oil
exploration off the north coast of Alaska in October 2015 and refused to extend leases sold
to Royal Dutch Shell and Statoil. RDS spent $8bn on exploration in the Arctic Sea (FT,
October 17, 2015) before deciding to capitulate on its development strategy in the region
after failing to find sufficient reserves and due to broad reputational risks. $8bn is the
equivalent of 4% of the company's current market capitalisation. Other companies with
historical capex in the region include Chevron, Cairn, ConocoPhilips, ExxonMobil and
Rosneft.
In addition to the prospect of asset write offs and wasted capex, companies may be forced
to invest in lower return strategies. Indeed, some companies may be or may have been
slow to rise to the challenges of the post-Paris exigencies as new investments might dilute
returns and strategy has focused on maximising returns rather than the broader pillars of
responsible investing. This is particularly evident for US oil and gas companies and the
vocal political debate that questions whether climate change exists at all.
Are oil management teams well suited to investing in
other sectors like renewables?
However, in the upstream segment of the sector the key skillsets are geological expertise,
risk management (as the hydrocarbon exploration / exploitation process is by its nature
high risk) and engineering execution. The managements of upstream entities tend to
populate therefore with those that excel in those skills. Unfortunately those very skills are
not necessarily universally applicable across different sectors, a point that oils (and
especially big oil) have learnt in history. This has been true for sectors that some might
think of as very similar to oil and gas like power and coal, where in both cases big oil has
diversified into those sectors only to realise the key managerial skillsets are actually
different.
Big oil has also occasionally stepped yet further from its comfort zone, with less than
successful outcomes. The textbook example of this might be Exxon’s acquisition of Zilog
computer, where it invested circa US$1 billion but eventually sold the company back to
employees at a fraction of the sunk cost. Schlumberger bought Fairchild Camera ( a semi-
conductor pioneer) in 1979 for US$425 million, 8 years later it sold the business to National
Semiconductor at a US$220 million loss. Whilst it is evident that there is a clear desire to
increase the share of renewables in the global primary energy mix at the expense of fossil
fuels including oil and gas it is not an automatic given that oil and gas managements are
best placed to put capital to work in the renewables sector.
Should investors in the oil and gas sector be concerned about COP 21?
Directionally yes. COP 21 suggests more assertive policy focus on demand side measures
for the sector. Existing policy e.g. the US CAFÉ standard for rising automotive efficiency or
the market share gains from renewables relative to natural gas in the US power industry,
are already mitigating the demand growth for fossil fuels in the US. There are also direct
C02 emissions from the hydrocarbon industry, e.g. methane emissions in the drilling for
natural gas, the energy intensive refining and petrochemical processes, and tail pipe
emissions.

However, the counterpoint is the relative time frame over which such policy measures may
bite relative to the investment horizons of investors today. Certainly the industry is
increasingly using inflationary carbon pricing in investment decisions. However, it is difficult
to argue the end of the oil industry, notwithstanding COP21, Tesla, ride sharing, and a
falling cost curve in solar.
The rise in population and income drives an underlying rate of growth of energy
usage that needs to be mitigated by energy efficiency gains.
The supply of energy needs to be decarbonised
Both processes will take a long time.
The latest BP Statistical Review highlights some of the challenges
Figure 19: Demographics and future global GDP growth forecasts
Source: BP 2016 Energy Outlook
BP forecast of 34% energy consumption increase between 2014 and 2035. "Fossil fuels
will remain the dominant energy source providing around 60% of the growth in energy and
accounting for almost 80% of total energy supply in 2035 (down from 86% in 2014)." BP
2016 Energy Outlook. Despite the outlook for emission reductions at a global policy level,
they forecast oil demand to continue to grow at 0.9% pa over this time horizon. Coal is set
to bear the brunt of fossil fuel declines being replaced by natural gas.

Source: BP 2016 Energy Outlook
In the base case, C02 emissions would still rise. The faster transition case below could
lead to a reduction in C02 emissions but in BP's scenario planning, would require a C02
price of $100/MT by 2035 in the West and at least $50/MT in the non-OECD. It would
require twice the pace of reduction in energy efficiency than 1994-2014 and a massive
acceleration in the carbon intensity of the fossil fuel mix.
Figure 21: Implied future carbon emissions and changes in energy intensity
Source: BP 2016 Energy Outlook
We note that the base case already includes a strong increase in renewable usage (though
this could still be an underestimate). We note that the fossil fuel facing the largest risk is
coal. Despite the S02, NOX emissions from coal, its historical cheapness means that coal
accounts for 30% of primary energy consumption today. There are knotty problems to
solve to reduce coal consumption. For those who worked very hard to get COP 21
agreement, even harder work is still ahead.

The good news is that the solar curve has improved dramatically which has lowered the
subsidy required to compete with natural gas fired power. The challenge is that there are
system limits to the penetration of solar, without improvements in storage technology also,
that would add to the costs of the solar subsidy once solar accounted for 15-20% of US
electricity demand.

We have selected five indicators – reserve life, environmental, country, safety and
governance – to evaluate relevant ESG risks within the oil and gas sector. By equally
weighting rankings for each factor in Figure 25, we can arrive at an overall ESG risk core
with which we can then evaluate oil and gas companies on a relative basis.
A number of these measures correspond to those used to weigh ESG risks in the mining
sector, namely country and safety. In addition, two of the environmental risk factors,
namely emissions levels and World Resources Institute (WRI) ratings weighted by country
of production, overlap so that we can begin to build some ESG comparison between
sectors. We have changed the disclosure measure of our mining report to a closer focus
on governance here that incorporates a number of important criteria for the board of
directors as outlined in the table above.

Country risk score
As in the mining sector, share listings frequently belie the actual locus (or loci) of
operations in the oil and gas sector, again an industry where companies have global
operations. Oil and gas assets are frequently to be found in emerging markets that can be
subject to greater macroeconomic risks, political instability and less transparent business
standards. This can come about despite companies' best endeavours to control for these
risks. More than any industry, the oil sector has seen the re-nationalisation of assets on
many occasions, Venezuela, Iran, Bolivia for example, and Mexico in more distant history.
We have also seen government intervention in the development of specific fields, Russia
halved the interests of Shell, Mitsubishi and Mitsui in the Sakhalin 2 project in 2006 to give
Gazprom a majority stake. Kazakhstan halted development of the ENI-led Kashagan field
in the Caspian Sea in 2007, the same year as Yukos was forced into bankruptcy. There
are numerous further examples.
To create a country risk score, we repeat the exercise of our mining report, equally
weighting three factors: 1) each country's rating according to Transparency International's
Corruption Index (2015); 2) a political risk score as measured by the Political Risk Services
Group (which assesses 17 risk components including turmoil, financial transfers, direct
investments, export markets); and 3) the relevant S&P or Fitch local bond rating. If the
three factors are not all available for a given country, we take the average of the ratings
that are.
For each company, we weight the country risk score by FY2015 production volumes
according to the country of operation. We include BP and Origin Energy in Figure 27 and
Figure 28 below as illustrations.

Environmental risk score
We consider the direct environmental impact of production and operations at each
company to understand the relative environmental efficiency of operations, both from an
operating risk perspective and for the environmental investment needs this may highlight
as emissions reductions come into force over the medium and long term. We take South
Pole carbon data for each company, flaring rates, oil spillage rates, water consumption
data, the water stress of each country of operation weighted by production and the oil-gas
production mix. For carbon emissions, flaring, oil spillages and water consumption, we
measure the intensity relative to production volumes to see the relative efficiency or
otherwise of each company.
There is of course a difference in the level of energy intensity in production depending on
whether production is upstream, downstream, onshore or offshore or whether fields are
more mature or more remote. These tend to include the combustion of fuels onsite to
provide energy and so this is captured in the emissions data in large part. These fields will
be unlikely to shift to alternative or renewable fuel sources and will therefore see particular
challenges given the emission reduction targets adopted at COP21.
There is an element of double counting between the carbon emission data and the oil-gas
production split, but given that this is a critical consideration for future business strategies
for the companies involved, we are comfortable for this to be reflected and include both
measures. We use data as disclosed by each company where it is available.
We include carbon data compiled by South Pole Group, which in turn is taken from
company data. The data is in metric tonnes of CO2e and to measure and compare the
relative carbon intensity of each company, we divide this by annual production in mboe.
We then rank the companies by the level of carbon intensity. For water usage, we rate the
level of water consumption intensity using data where disclosed. We also take into account
the relative water stress at the country level by using the Country Water Stress ratings
according to the World Resources Institute's (WRI) Aqueduct Index Figure 32. We have
inverted their rankings of 5 being severe water stress to zero meaning no stress to mirror
our own one (bad) to five (good) methodology. We again weight the water stress by
country of operations.
There is a notable difference in the level of disclosure from emerging market companies in
the oil and gas sector compared to emerging companies involved in mining. We do not see
anything of the developed market: emerging market split that we saw in our previous
report. If anything, we see considerably better disclosure from some Russian, Chinese and
other emerging market companies relative to North American upstream plays. This would
appear to reflect aspects of the political debate around the existence of climate change or
not in the US.
We weight each of the six factors – emissions, flaring, spillages, oil-gas production mix,
water consumption and water stress. Emissions, flaring, spillages and the production mix
make up 20% each. Water consumption and water stress add 10% each. Where
companies do not disclose data, we assign a rating of one to encourage companies to
reveal data, even if it is below sector averages. Given that South Pole Group and the WRI
are external sources, we do not have any companies that do not have at least two of the
six data points. Where companies are downstream operations only, there is an equal
weighting between, emissions, water stress and water consumption when that data is
available.

Focus on Fracking
The oil and gas industry has always been an industry that has the potential to cause environmental damage – e.g. Exxon Valdez, BP Macondo, the MTBE ground water contamination. On the other hand, access to energy has created huge benefits to society. Fracking is no exception. The advent of shale has lowered energy costs for global consumers. "Technologies have ushered in a new era of energy abundance and diversity" (XOM). However, fracking has brought the oil industry into contact with new communities. Drilling for natural gas or oil involves the movement of equipment, building of well pads, use of chemical, and water. Drilling casing failures can lead to pollution of local groundwater. The amount of trucks involved in a single well can overwhelm local infrastructure. The EPA estimate that in 2014, the US upstream industry emitted 243 MMTC02 with 28% from oil production, 45% from gas production and 23% from the processing and transmission and storage of natural gas. So the solutions
The STAR program run by the EPA is designed to help the industry reduce emissions across the value chain
There is a listing of the chemical used in wells available
Due care and attention needs to be paid to fluid handling
Reporting of spillages at a more micro level needs to be improved to give investors (and the public and regulators) more information within which to make investment decisions
The incessant focus of Wall Street on drilling and completion costs needs to take any deterioration in environmental performance into account and the potential consequences in the license to operate.

Health and safety score
We repeat the approach of our mining report and measure, where available, 4 year fatality
rates and 4 year average injury frequency rates by company. We have taken published
data from companies' annual or sustainability reports and adjusted for the size of the
workforce including contractors to calculate a fatality rate. We see a broader range of
fatality rates compared to the mining sector, though we do not see the outliers (Coal India,
Glencore, Vedanta Resources) that we found in that industry. We separate the fatality
rates into five groupings and give this a weighting of 50%. Only zero fatality rates get a
score of five. Thirteen companies reported zero fatalities (four downstream) over the four
year period compared to just two in the mining sector.
Injury rates tend to be report on a per million hours-+ basis, unlike the mining sector which
tends to report based on 200,000 hours (a US convention equal to 10 people working 40
hours per week and for 50 weeks per year). Fifty four of the sixty four companies report
LTIFRs or TRIRs and forty one report fatality rates. These are not a homogenous group so
a number of companies report one metric but not the other. As we highlight above, we do
not see the same difference in the level of disclosure between Developed Market and
Emerging Market companies, a notable divergence from the mining sector.

Across the oil and gas universe, there are different disclosures of safety statistics with companies generally reporting either Total Recordable Injuries Rate (TRIR, see below for definition) or Lost Time Injury Frequency Rates (LTIFR). There is no common industry practice. In order to compare injury rates, we have calculated a correlation between the data to create a proxy LTIFR for those companies that only reported TRIR. Both are calculated on an hours worked basis and we find there is an R
2 of 78%.
For companies that do not report any data, they are awarded the lowest ranking of 20 in our scoring system, a practice we maintain across all metrics included. Companies will always have higher rankings if they disclose data. Total Recordable Injuries rates (TRIR) include:
Fatalities - accidental deaths at workplace Lost Time Injuries (LTI) - workplace injury causing an individual to be unfit for work
and causes absence from work
Restricted Work Cases (RWC) - workplace injury causing an individual to be given an alternative job assignment
Medical Treatment Cases (MTC) - workplace injury requiring treatment by a medical professional

We include comparisons of fatality rates for sub-sectors and unsurprisingly see little
difference between developed market and emerging market integrated companies (Figure
37) given that assets and operations are in similar locations. It is notable though that the
North American producers which do disclose fatality rates tend to have a wider and higher
dispersion showing that safety is not necessarily higher amongst purely developed market
upstream operations.
We have also considered firm size and scale risk and this is confirmed in by the correlation
of small sized companies and higher average fatality rates (Figure 38). We assess the
average number of fatalities for the 52 companies disclosing fatality rates over the four
year period 2011 to 2014 and measure that relative to the capital employed by those
companies. The correlation is clear with an r2 of 0.4343, far higher than the r
2 of just
0.0127 we find in the mining sector where there is a concentration of fatalities in larger
companies dependent on greater numbers of employees in underground operations.

Governance score
We have changed our criteria for governance ratings in response to investor interest in the
boards. We now have five factors that comprise our governance score and still include a
rating for disclosure according to the Global Reporting Initiative and the level of
commitment to sustainability reporting guidelines. The four other factors relate specifically
to the make-up and independence of the board and are discussed in more detail below.
The Global Reporting Initiative was founded in 1997 and is the voluntary disclosure of
sustainability and ESG metrics and has been adopted by over 7,500 companies globally.
The GRI Sustainability Disclosure Database collects and makes available all corporate
sustainability reports, currently totalling over 23,000 GRI reports and 33,000 sustainability
reports. As for the mining sector, we have assigned a ranking of 5 to companies disclosing
2015 data to GRI 4 standards, 4 for GRI 3 or pre-2015 GRI reporting, 3 for some
disclosure, 2 for limited disclosure and 0 for no disclosure. This is the only rating to which
we assign a zero score believing that it is a question of management choice to disclose or
otherwise. We again note that there is significantly better reporting to GRI from emerging
market oil and gas companies compared to their mining peers.

We look at four aspects to evaluate the board and how it may reflect investors' interests:
diversity, tenure, independence and overboarding. Each factor contributes 20% towards
the overall governance score.
Diversity: we calculate the percentage of women on the board at each company.
This information is typically available on the corporate website and usually
includes a biography.
Tenure: we calculate the percentage of directors who have served on the board
for more than nine years, the so-called "London Rule" of 3 mandates of 3 years
each. After nine years, the UK Corporate Governance Code recommends that
boards should state why a director is still considered independent. We find that
board tenure is typically longer in North America and that independent directors
may not be as independent as shareholder interests might warrant. Tenure data is
often disclosed by companies though not necessarily in emerging markets.
Independence: We show the number of nominally independent directors as a
percentage of the board. This information is disclosed in corporate materials.
Overboarding: we include overboarding rates for 55 companies where there is
sufficient disclosure.

Asset risk score: the oil and gas sector in a lower
carbon world
To assess asset risk, we consider that long reserve lives value assets that may not be
produced in a post-COP 21 world and therefore a possible negative. This of course
depends on whether these reserves are liquids or natural gas and we make the necessary
adjustments. We note the different approaches of companies in their scenario planning
with many relying on carbon capture and storage. We also see any strategy to develop and
monetise short duration reserves as a potential positive if these cashflows are returned to
shareholders. So rather than present a long reserve life as a positive, we weight our
scoring in favour of 1P reserve lives of 10 years or less. In practice, the market in many
cases values the companies as going concerns into perpetuity regardless of the proved
reserve life. This could be due to a large unbooked resource as in shale or the view that
management teams will be able to recycle current cashflows into future opportunities
(either through exploration, business development or M&A) of equal return. A late life
company with declining production would typically trade on 3-4x CF versus multiples in the
sector that range from 5x and much higher.
In addition to the prospect of asset write offs and risks to longer dated traditional
investments, companies may be forced to invest in lower return strategies. Indeed, some
companies may be or may have been slow to rise to the challenges of the post-Paris
exigencies as new investments might dilute returns and strategy has focused on
maximising returns rather than the broader pillars of responsible investing. This is
particularly evident for US oil and gas companies and the vocal political debate that
questions whether climate change exists at all.
As for the refiners included in our universe, we take the Nelson refining complexity rate to
measure these assets, weighted by capacity. We believe that any upgrade investment
requirements needed in response to emission reduction targets will fall most heavily on the
refineries with the lowest Nelson complexity rating and therefore be detrimental to
shareholder returns.

Of course, considering current reserves ignores the differing strategies by companies to
position themselves for future changes in the energy mix, particularly investments into
renewables which varying very significantly between companies. We include an Appendix
on page 36 with comments from our team of analysts about the individual companies'
investments into renewable technologies and their efforts to reduce their future
dependency on carbon assets. This is not a strategy adopted by all companies. In
particular, many North American companies continue to focus strategy and investments
purely on carbon liquids which largely reflects different political views to climate risk. Our
discussion of renewables in the Appendix also reflects potential assets at risk if emission
reductions are enforced.

STO believes a global agreement on the steps to achieve this goal will allow for a responsible transition to decarbonised and sustainable economic development and are keen to play their part.
Statoil STL.OL 83 50 62 80 100 75 The company is engaged in wind farms, but also has a new energy investment fund (a $200m fund dedicated to investing in renewable energy companies). Over the last ~3 years it has invested around $1bn in renewables, the main bulk (c.70%) being the Sheringham Shoal wind farm. Over the next 3-4 years, the current activities look to invest $1.5-2.0bn in renewables, half of which will go to the Arkona project (German offshore wind farm).
Suncor Energy SU.TO 92 70 33 64 40 60 Suncor's renewable energy portfolio includes 8 wind power projects in Canada (7 operating and 1 in construction) and operates the largest ethanol facility in Canada. Suncor is also a leader in sustainable oil sands development, participating in several oil sands pilots using solvent (ie. ESEIEH and NSolv) at their Dover site. If successful, the new technologies will significantly reduce GHG emissions intensity and water required to produce bitumen.

Total TOTF.PA 65 60 32 68 80 61 Total’s ambition is to be positioned in certain links of the electricity value chain, especially renewables and has a slogan ‘20% in 20 years’. The company has recently created a new business segment, which encompasses gas, renewables and power. In other words, it is not only about renewables, but also ‘low carbon’ solutions such as gas. In terms of renewables, Total’s focus today is on solar and biofuels. Solar via its shareholding in SunPower and biofuels via Amyris and La Mede biodiesel refinery. Its aim is to be a top three player in solar energy, by integrating across the photovoltaic chain, all the way to distribution to end customers. The company will also develop energy storage, which is the logic behind the recently proposed acquisition of Saft. It also works to continuously improve energy efficiency of its installations (eg eliminating routine gas flaring by 2030).

Valero Energy VLO 85 60 53 60 60 64 VLO's refining system would be subject to risk from transport efficiency gains and direct C02 emission costs, to the extent these were not recovered in the wholesale price VLO's coastal footprint could mitigate risk from US CAFÉ standards given access to export markets
Woodside Petroleum
WPL.AX 89 80 58 76 80 77 WPL believes natural gas can (and needs to) play a pivotal role in the world’s future energy mix as it has lower emissions of greenhouse gases and local air pollutants than other fossil fuels. For example, since 2013, Woodside’s flaring intensity has decreased from 14.2 to 9.2 t/kt, seeing a reduction of 900,000 tonnes of greenhouse gases (the 2016 target has been reduced to 9 t/kt). The core business focus of delivering greenhouse gas emission reduction, combined with targeted energy efficiency and flare reduction initiatives, facilitates effective emissions management at WPL. From 2016 WPL will set annual energy efficiency targets for their operations. WPL conclude that natural gas consumption will continue to grow until at least 2040 under the most prominent low carbon scenarios and the current portfolio of economic assumptions to test commercial decisions also include a scenario consistent with the national pledges made to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.

Outperform (O) : The stock’s total return is expected to outperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
Neutral (N) : The stock’s total return is expected to be in line with the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
Underperform (U) : The stock’s total return is expected to underperform the relevant benchmark* over the next 12 months.
*Relevant benchmark by region: As of 10th December 2012, Japanese ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms representing the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. As of 2nd October 2012, U.S. and Canadian as well as European ra tings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the analyst's coverage universe which consists of all companies covered by the analyst within the relevant sector, with Outperforms rep resenting the most attractive, Neutrals the less attractive, and Underperforms the least attractive investment opportunities. For L atin American and non-Japan Asia stocks, ratings are based on a stock’s total return relative to the average total return of the relevant country or regional benchmark; prior to 2nd October 2012 U.S. and Canadian ratings were based on (1) a stock’s absolute total return potential to its current share price and (2) the relative attractiveness of a stock’s total return potential w ithin an analyst’s coverage universe. For Australian and New Zealand stocks, the expected total return (ETR) calculation includes 1 2-month rolling dividend yield. An Outperform rating is assigned where an ETR is greater than or equal to 7.5%; Underperform where an ETR less than or equal to 5%. A Neutral may be assigned where the ETR is between -5% and 15%. The overlapping rating range allows analysts to assign a rating that puts ETR in the context of associated risks. Prior to 18 May 2015, ETR ranges for Outperform and Underperform ratings did not overlap with Neutral thresholds between 15% and 7.5%, wh ich was in operation from 7 July 2011.

With respect to the analysis in this report based on the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology, Credit Suisse certifies that (1) the views expressed in this report accurately reflect the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology and (2) no part of the Firm’s compensation was, is, or will be directly related to the specific views disclosed in this report.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign ratings to a security. It is an analytical tool that involves use of a set of proprietary quantitative algorithms and warranted value calculations, collectively called the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model, that are consistently applied to all the companies included in its database. Third-party data (including consensus earnings estimates) are systematically translated into a number of

default algorithms available in the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model. The source financial statement, pricing, and earnings data provided by outside data vendors are subject to quality control and may also be adjusted to more closely measure the underlying economics of firm performance. The adjustments provide consistency when analyzing a single company across time, or analyzing multiple companies across industries or national borders. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes the baseline valuation for a security, and a user then may adjust the default variables to produce alternative scenarios, any of which could occur.
Additional information about the Credit Suisse HOLT methodology is available on request.
The Credit Suisse HOLT methodology does not assign a price target to a security. The default scenario that is produced by the Credit Suisse HOLT valuation model establishes a warranted price for a security, and as the third-party data are updated, the warranted price may also change. The default variable may also be adjusted to produce alternative warranted prices, any of which could occur.

The price, value of and income from any of the securities or financial instruments mentioned in this report can fall as well as rise. The value of securities and financial instruments is subject to exchange rate fluctuation that may have a positive or adverse effect on the price or income of such securities or financial instruments. Investors in securities such as ADR's, the values of which are influenced by currency volatility, effectively assume this risk. Structured securities are complex instruments, typically involve a high degree of risk and are intended for sale only to sophisticated investors who are capable of understanding and assuming the risks involved. The market value of any structured security may be affected by changes in economic, financial and political factors (including, but not limited to, spot and forward interest and exchange rates), time to maturity, market conditions and volatility, and the credit quality of any issuer or reference issuer. Any investor interested in purchasing a structured product should conduct their own investigation and analysis of the product and consult with their own professional advisers as to the risks involved in making such a purchase. Some investments discussed in this report may have a high level of volatility. High volatility investments may experience sudden and large falls in their value causing losses when that investment is realised. Those losses may equal your original investment. Indeed, in the case of some investments the potential losses may exceed the amount of initial investment and, in such circumstances, you may be required to pay more money to support those losses. Income yields from investments may fluctuate and, in consequence, initial capital paid to make the investment may be used as part of that income yield. Some investments may not be readily realisable and it may be difficult to sell or realise those investments, similarly it may prove difficult for you to obtain reliable information about the value, or risks, to which such an investment is exposed.

US customers wishing to effect a transaction should do so only by contacting a representative at Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC in the US.
