There will always be some gas which needs to be burnt off as part of oil drilling safety but, from a sustainability point of view, as much as possible should be captured and sold as part of a location&#8217;s overall production.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Alternative energy consumption<\/strong>: a bit like asking turkeys to vote for Christmas, this indicator will probably become more and more widespread as the next few years progress.\u00a0 There is no reason for it to be confined only to the O&amp;G sector.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ecosystems and fresh water<\/strong>: all extractive industries are, by their very nature, exceptionally dirty industries.\u00a0 There should never be any excuse for damaging an ecosystem or for returning water to the environment in a less pristine condition than it was taken.\u00a0 These are both huge challenges, however reporting just the outputs makes little sense unless the inputs are reported as well.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Health and Safety<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Workforce participation <\/strong>can be one of the most controversial aspects of any company&#8217;s CSR agenda.\u00a0 The key is to make engagement with the workforce participatory, not consultative: in other words, the workforce&#8217;s opinion helps to shape outcome and isn&#8217;t just employed to gain buy-in to management decisions.\u00a0 This matters even more in an industry such as O&amp;G which is by its very nature highly distributed and culturally diverse.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Social and Economic Indicators<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>Local communities, indigenous people, involuntary resettlement and social investment<\/strong>. It&#8217;s a long-standing convention that while the people may own the land the state owns the mineral wealth beneath it.\u00a0 However this should not mean that local communities have their land taken away without their consent and their livelihoods ruined.\u00a0 Similarly, if a local community has strongly held cultural beliefs centred upon the land then respecting these has to be given priority.<\/p>\n<p>Too often local communities are ignored, their beliefs belittled and profits from extraction on their land are never seen again.\u00a0 Social investment by the company is one way of mitigating this, but in truth companies need to engage more with the government of the country they&#8217;ve partnered with to ensure its activities do not increase these communities&#8217; destitution and exclusion.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Local content, procurement and hiring<\/strong>. Wherever possible all resources, human or otherwise, should be sourced locally.\u00a0 This is a growing trend within O&amp;G and a very welcome one.\u00a0 However it should be given context by a balancing statement of how much the company has brought in from outside the local area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Transparency <\/strong>is one of the key components to building a true CSR business.\u00a0 There is a difference between commercial confidentiality and secrecy: the former protects an advantage you have within the marketplace, the latter hides a legal or ethical wrong which would damage you if widely known.\u00a0 There therefore has to be transparency in almost all aspects of any business&#8217; operations and management which in turn demands a phenomenal amount of data.<\/p>\n<p>The key advantage websites bring is that they are an excellent repository for this data, making it freely available to anyone who wishes to examine it.\u00a0 It is therefore disappointing that transparency is only mentioned in the Guidance in the context of corruption and making payments to host governments.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Conclusion<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>These indicators are a valuable set for the O&amp;G industry to follow and many are highly relevant to other extractive and multinational industries.<\/p>\n<p>However there are two issues which are causes for concern: first of all they are called &#8220;guidance for sustainability reporting&#8221;, yet there is little to do with sustainability within them.\u00a0 CSR (being a responsible business), yes; sustainability (only using those resources a future generation won&#8217;t need or which can be replaced), no.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, while the indicators do much to embed best practice into the O&amp;G sector, there is little there to push it forwards.<\/p>\n<p>That may seem a little churlish of me, but we have to always remember that CSR is not a destination but a journey.\u00a0 As the first hostelry on the road, these (and most likely the GRI ones) make a good first stop.\u00a0 But it&#8217;s only a first stop and we cannot allow ourselves to stagnate at this point.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The GRI is in the process of finalising a supplement for the Oil &amp; Gas industry.
