(1) Estimates are based on current production forecasts and methodologies. The tables contain forward-looking estimates and users of this information are cautioned that the actual GHG
emissions and emission intensity may vary materially from the estimates contained in the table.
(2) Data from 1990 and 2000 do not include Suncor’s U.S. operations, and only include business areas in operation during these years. These data points have been provided for historical
comparability, consistent with previous sustainability reports.
(3)
Data here includes both direct and indirect CO2e emissions, whereas the data included in the Alberta SGER reports and other regulatory reports are direct emissions only. No credit is taken for
GHG reductions due to cogen credits or purchased offsets. Emissions have been calculated using facility-speciic methodologies; various reference methodologies accepted by jurisdictions where each facility is required to report GHG emissions. Where a jurisdiction has a prescribed methodology, it is followed and if none exists, the most applicable and accurate methods available are
used to quantify each emission source. Beginning with 2013 data, the latest global warming potentials issued by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change in their 2007 or Fourth Assessment
report have been used to calculate CO2e. Historical data has not been updated to relect this change as it does not impact corporate-wide emissions materially.
(4)
Data and estimates have changed from previous years’ reports due to Oil Sands methodology changes that relect the inclusion of biomass, a methodology change in the calculation of fugitive
emissions using lux chamber data, and revisions to emissions factors and calculations based upon AESRD’s request. These changes are also consistent with the methodology used for SGER Bill 3
reporting. Also, previous years’ emission updated numbers relect changes including classifying purchased hydrogen emissions at Reining & Marketing facilities as an indirect scope 3 instead of
an indirect scope 2, and a revised indirect scope 2 methodology for MacKay River.
(5)
Data for 2009 and future years include the full-year emissions for all Petro-Canada operated properties acquired in the 2009 merger, even though the merger did not close until Aug. 1, 2009. This is to allow for a consistent comparison to past and future years.

(For certain business units, combined Suncor / Petro-Canada data is provided for some years prior to 2009 but this is not relected in the Suncor-wide rollup reported here.)
(6) The Suncor-wide emissions intensity uses Net Production, which is the sum of Net Facility Production minus all internal intra- and inter-BU product transfers, to remove any double counting. The sum of the BU intensities will therefore not equal the Suncor-wide intensity.

Deinitions:
Direct GHG emissions: Emissions from sources that are owned or controlled by the reporting company.
Indirect GHG emissions: Energy-related emissions that are a consequence of the operations of the reporting company,
but occur at sources owned or controlled by another company (e.g., purchased electricity or steam).
Absolute (total) emissions: The total GHG emissions (sum of direct and indirect emissions) of a facility or reporting company.
