SIZE DOES NOT FIT ALL Annual Meeting Shareholder Engagement 12 Climate Strategy However, applying this statement uniformly to all companies and their pathways does not take into account, among other things: the range of 200+ scenarios in
the IPCC 1.5°C Report the different rates of emissions reductions in different sectors in these scenarios the importance of CCUS and DAC to reaching net-zero by 2050 as recognized by the IPCC and the IEA the assumed trajectory of CCUS and
DAC development in net-zero-by-2050 scenarios In our discussions with Follow This and in related media coverage, Follow This has asserted that alignment with the Paris Agreement requires reducing Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by roughly half
by 2030. This assertion appears to be based on a statement in the IPCC 1.5°C Report that in certain 1.5°C model pathways, global net anthropogenic CO2 emissions decline by about 45% by 2030.1 1 Rogelj, J., D. Shindell, K. Jiang, S. Fifita,

Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions by 2050. Our targets and strategy recognize that all avenues of emissions mitigation, including renewables, energy efficiency, methane capture, carbon removal and CCUS, will be needed to reach net zero. While Oxy’s
net-zero strategy is multi-faceted, CCUS and DAC are at the heart of our strategy, which capitalizes on Oxy’s competitive strengths. Follow This’ view of Paris alignment is counter to Oxy’s STRATEGY, COMPETITIVE STRENGTHS AND value
proposition. Paris-aligned 1.5°C scenarios require a portfolio of climate solutions and include a variety of pathways with varying trajectories for different technologies and industries—no one trajectory can apply to all industries.
