Material Cost Reductions and Efficiency Gains
Delivered $2.8 billion of structural cost reductions to date (including ~$2.0 billion in 2025); increased structural cost reduction target to $5.5–6.5 billion by 2027 (includes expected impact of Castrol transaction); underlying operating expenditure down by >$700 million since 2023 and expected to reduce to ~$19–20 billion by 2027.
