Who We Are
As the world’s largest independent upstream oil and gas business, ConocoPhillips embraces our mission to provide energy to power civilization while also playing a valued role in the energy transition toward a low-carbon future.
ConocoPhillips has been a leader in establishing a strategy that works in the new, challenging realities of our business. We have an enviable portfolio of some of the lowest cost of supply assets across the globe. And we have a well-established reputation for safe, responsible operations throughout our history as a company. But underlying our strategy, our portfolio and our reputation are OUR PEOPLE. They make ConocoPhillips run.
"We have the technical capabilities, financial resources, experienced personnel and established business relationships needed to successfully find and produce hydrocarbons from virtually any geologic setting worldwide."
Our vital industry is one of the most technically sophisticated in the world and we have always been innovative. This tradition of innovation will be put to great use as we evolve our business to meet a low-carbon future. We were the first U.S. upstream oil and gas company to adopt a Paris-aligned climate risk framework that included targets for emissions reductions, collaborative affiliations and advocacy for responsible carbon policies. We’re a leader in taking measures to address our own carbon footprint and we are studying new energy technologies that align with our competencies. Meeting these future challenges requires having the best and brightest people who bring passion and excitement for solving important problems.

Smart GrowthCondemning Racial Injustice, Championing Human Rights
We are committed to eliminating bias and injustice in all its forms. We strive to represent and reflect the global communities in which we live and work, including recognizing the dignity of all human beings and fostering an environment of inclusion that respects individual contributions and differences.
ConocoPhillips Chairman and CEO Ryan Lance and other members of the Business Roundtable reinforced this value by publishing a statement condemning racial inequity. ConocoPhillips is a participant in the Voluntary Principles on Security and Human Rights, which states that “force should be used only when strictly necessary and to an extent proportional to the threat; and the rights of individuals should not be violated while exercising the right to exercise freedom of association and peaceful assembly.”
In our hometown of Houston, Lance encouraged and recognized the efforts of the Houston Police Department (HPD) and mayor to apply these and HPD’s own stated principles in their approach to the demonstrations that took place in our city. Lance also encouraged the International Association of Chiefs of Police to do the same.
