1092019 ANNUAL AND CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY REPORT

We also keep track of the recycled hy- drocarbons that come from the manage- ment of the waste generated by the ac- tivity of the ships and their maintenance and cleaning operations (called MARPOL waste) at the refineries that are equipped for this treatment. In 2019, of the total MARPOL waste received, 50,148 tonnes, a total of 2,494 tonnes of oil were recy- cled.

In addition, we have an internal procedure for the management of waste generated at our facilities that establishes the cri- teria for action derived from our envi- ronmental policy and the most relevant legal requirements, without prejudice to the additional legal requirements that may be required by the competent au-

thorities. In this way, we work together with our waste managers to maximise our recycling rates, reducing landfill to a minimum.

These procedures are continuously re- viewed, as well as the production proce- sses that we develop, in order to minimise the waste generated by our activities and reuse it as a resource in our processes whenever possible, and separating waste at source by means of hierarchy criteria, as well as preparing minimisation plans to progressively reduce its quantity. Waste from Exploration and Production activities is managed in a specific way, separating it according to its water con- tent and treating it or finding a use for it that best suits its characteristics.
