As part of our commitment to enhancing the transparency of our business, I am pleased to present our 2024 Sustainability Report. Our business has performed well over the past year, as evidenced by our financial disclosures, but we recognise that in order to continue generating value for our many stakeholders we must be vigilant with all aspects of how we conduct our work. This encompasses the important dimensions of environmental stewardship, social responsibility, and governance.Our industry is constantly evolving, and at the same time the expectations on energy producing businesses are evolving too. There is a growing acknowledgement of the importance of providing access to safe and reliable energy as a core foundation for economic growth. On this front, Valeura has done its part, increasing production in 2024 to a total of 8.4 million bbls of oil, sold almost entirely into local and international markets within the energy-hungry economies of Southeast Asia. Concurrently, there is an expectation that our industry will embrace new technologies and adjust practices to also support the transition toward a lower-carbon energy mix. On this front too, Valeura has done its part by maintaining our energy use intensity essentially unchanged, while reducing emissions intensity by 20%. We are leveraging new technologies to modernise facilities and see our performance in 2024 as the first step in what we hope to make an improving long-term trend. At the core of our corporate strategy is an aspiration to add value through growth. We see meaningful opportunities to do so in Southeast Asia, including potential FROM OUR CEOMESSAGEDR.
