Reporting principles

Definitions

the exploration, prospection, discovery, development and extraction of minerals, crude oil and natural gas, amongst others, fully consolidated by Sinopec Corp. in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).
Payment: a single payment or multiple interconnected payments, whether in money or in kind, for extractives activities.
The payment types included in this Report:
Production Entitlement: host Government’s share of production. This payment is generally made in kind.
Taxes: taxes and levies paid on income, production or profits, excluding taxes levied on consumption such as value
added tax, personal income taxes and sales taxes. Regarding taxes paid in the People's Republic of China (PRC), the Report includes Income Tax, Special Oil Income Levy and Resource Tax.
- 1 -
Royalties: products or monetary value payment for the mining rights to extract oil and gas resources.
Dividends: dividends paid to host Government, other than dividends paid to Government as an ordinary shareholder unless
they are paid in lieu of a production entitlement or royalty. For the financial year of 2021, there were no reportable Dividend payments to Governments.
Signature, Discovery and Production Bonuses: bonuses paid for and in consideration of signature, discovery, production,
awards, grants and transfers of extraction rights; bonuses related to achievement or failure to achieve certain production levels or targets, and the discovery of additional mineral reserves or deposits. For the financial year of 2021, there were
no reportable Signature, Discovery and Production Bonuses payments to Governments.
Licence and Other Fees: licence fees, rental fees, entry fees and other considerations for licences and/or concessions
that are paid for access to the area where the extractive activities will be conducted. Regarding Licence and other fees paid in PRC, the Report includes Exploration License Fee and Production License Fee.
Infrastructure Improvements: payments for local infrastructure development, including the improvement of
infrastructure, except where the infrastructure is exclusively used for operational purposes. For the financial year of 2021, there were no reportable Infrastructure Improvement payments to Governments.
Government: any national, regional or local authority of a country or territory, or any department, agency or undertaking controlled by
that authority.
Project: operational activities governed by a single contract, licence, lease, concession or similar legal agreement that form the basis
for payment liabilities with a Government. If multiple such agreements are substantially interconnected, they are considered as a single Project.
Reporting currency
All amounts presented in the Report are stated in Reminbi (RMB). Payments made to Governments in US Dollars were translated into the equivalent RMB amount using an average
exchange rate during the reporting period of 2021.
In-kind payments
Production Entitlement and Royalties paid in kind owed to Governments pursuant to legal or contractual provisions (not booked in the Extractive Companies’ accounts pursuant to the
accounting standards) are reported in proportion to the interest held in the Project. Payments in kind are estimated at fair value which corresponds to the contractual price of oil and gas, market price (if available) or an appropriate benchmark
price. These prices may be calculated on an averaged basis over a given period.
- 2 -
Operatorship
Payments made by the Extractive Companies directly to a Government arising from a Project are reported in the full amount, regardless of whether the Extractive Companies are the
Operators. Such payments are reported in the full amount even where the Extractive Companies acting as Operators are proportionally reimbursed by their non-operating venture partners.
