This Environmental Sustainability in the Oil & Gas Industry training course addresses the raft of issues that face companies in the hydrocarbon industries. The global focus on climate change and damaging environmental emissions has cast the oil and gas industry as a problem sector. High revenues and high performance targets have often been associated with high incident rates some of which have become high-profile disasters, oil-spills and financial irregularities that impact company performance in to the medium term and fuel public distrust and protest.
Many Oil and Gas companies and even regulators have determined that the while the business case for Environmental Sustainability is compelling and regulations and standards have and are being put in place to underpin it, culture change is the key to effecting the changes in behaviour needed to address the operational risks to sustaining an oil and gas company’s performance over the medium term. This training course will give you: The financial and social business cases that underpin a company’s drive towards emission and human incident reduction; An overview of the regulations, standards and industry initiatives that are available to executives and managers within the industry to change operational cultures and reduce risks to sustaining performance over the medium term; An understanding of the external drivers behind global Environmental sustainability and the other medium to long term risks to the industry.
This Energy Training Centre training course will highlight:
- The development of a strategic approach to Environmental Sustainability and Responsible Business Conduct
- The scale of the growing external risks to the medium term performance of oil and gas companies
- Internal operational risks to medium term company performance
- Business cases for internal emissions and human incident reduction
- Initiatives and tools that support a culture of emissions and human incident reduction
This training course will focus on the practical and theoretical aspects of developing a culture of responsible emission and incident reduction.
At the end of this Environmental Sustainability in the Oil & Gas Industry training course, you will learn to:
- Assess the external risks to medium term oil and gas company performance
- Develop a business case for responsible internal emission and incident reduction
- Appreciate the internal risk to operational performance and why culture change offers the best mitigation
