Inclusion criteria describe evidence that can establish this activity. Exclusion criteria identify circumstances that do not establish it on that basis alone. The evaluation remains connected to its taxonomy version and supporting evidence.
Included when supported
Evidence may support involvement when it matches one or more of these inclusion criteria.

Operators of Crude Oil Refineries
Defined as: Companies owning or operating facilities that process crude oil into fuels, lubricants, asphalt, or other refined petroleum products.
- 02Criterion
Independent Petroleum Refiners
Defined as: Entities whose primary business activity involves refining crude oil rather than upstream extraction or fuel retail.
- 03Criterion
Integrated Oil Companies With Refining Operations
Defined as: Diversified energy firms operating downstream refining assets as part of broader oil and gas operations.
- 04Criterion
Producers of Transportation Fuels From Crude Oil
Defined as: Companies refining crude oil into gasoline, diesel, marine fuel, aviation fuel, or heating oil products.

Refineries Producing Petrochemical Feedstocks
Defined as: Entities converting crude oil into naphtha, feedstocks, or intermediate products used in petrochemical manufacturing.
- 06Criterion
Companies Operating Condensate Splitters or Heavy Oil Upgraders
Defined as: Firms processing crude oil, bitumen, or condensates into refined or upgraded petroleum products.
- 07Criterion
Developers or Owners of Refining Infrastructure
Defined as: Companies constructing, expanding, upgrading, or maintaining operational control of oil refining facilities.
Excluded on this basis alone
These circumstances do not establish this activity unless separate evidence also meets an inclusion criterion.
- 01Criterion
Oil Exploration and Production Companies Without Refining Assets
Defined as: Upstream oil companies engaged solely in exploration or crude oil extraction activities.

Petrochemical Manufacturers Using Purchased Feedstocks Only
Defined as: Chemical producers that do not directly refine crude oil into fuels or intermediate petroleum products.
- 03Criterion
Oil Transport, Pipeline, or Storage Companies
Defined as: Midstream entities involved in transportation, storage, or terminal operations without refining activity.
- 04Criterion
