4 03.1 Industrial Safety [25] For the second consecutive year, PEMEX maintained the lowest accident frequency index in the company s history. The accident frequency index reached 0.42 incapacitating accidents per million man-hours worked (MMhw). This figure is 5% lower than the 0.44 recorded by the OGP (Oil and Gas Producers) in The accident severity index reached 25 days lost per MMhw Environmental Protection On December 9, 2010, Chief Executive Officer, Juan José Suárez Coppel, presented PEMEX s Climate Change Action Plan at the COP 16 Conference. The plan is considered in the environmental protection strategy of PEMEX s Business Plan. The strategy is developed around four fundamental pillars: capture of operating opportunities; sustainability of investments; social environmental responsibility; and action against climate change. On January 31, 2011, PEMEX s CEO, Juan José Suárez Coppel, and the Head of the PEMEX Union (STPRM), Carlos Romero Deschamps, determined the politics and principles that PEMEX will follow in terms of safety, health and enviroment. Through these actions; PEMEX confirms its commitment to a safe and efficient operation that also provides economic development to the country, while at the same time offers a sound environment and real alternatives to face global challenges in the fight against climate change. As of December 31, 2010, the sulfur oxide emissions index decreased by 26.7% as compared to 2009, primarily as a result of closing wells with high gasoil ratio, and by starting operations of gas injection modules in Cantarell, which reduces the volume of sour gas sent to burners.

The project (a collaboration between PEMEX and Statoil) aims to reduce gas flaring and therefore emissions at the Tres Hermanos field in the Northern Region. PEMEX expects to reduce C0 2 emissions by an average of 82.6 thousand tons per year (MtCO 2 a). PEMEX promotes social and human development in the communities where it operates. The following are the main actions that characterize the approach to such development and the relationship between PEMEX and local communities: Mutual benefit works Cash donations In-kind contributions of fuels and asphalts Development of local suppliers Higher education collaboration agreements Environmental protection Promotion of investment and employment During 2010, PEMEX s donations and contributions totaled 1.6 billion pesos: (i) 70.8% of which was directed to the states principally involved in the crude oil industry (Campeche, Chiapas, Tabasco, Tamaulipas and Veracruz); (ii) 21.8% to the states with medium involvement in the crude oil industry (Coahuila, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Oaxaca and Puebla); (iii) and the remainder 7.3% was directed to non- oil states. In addition, during 2010 PEMEX completed mutual benefit works considering more than 600 million pesos in infrastructure investments for the states of Campeche, Chiapas, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, México, Michoacán, Oaxaca, Puebla, Tabasco, Tamaulipas, Veracruz and Mexico City. PEMEX s total donations, contributions and mutual benefits works in 2010 totaled more than 2.2 billion pesos.
