據(jù)油氣新聞6月8日消息稱，石油和天然氣公司的碳密集型業(yè)務(wù)正面臨越來(lái)越多的審查。隨著2015年《聯(lián)合國(guó)氣候變化框架》的通過(guò)，對(duì)油氣行業(yè)遏制碳排放的需求更加強(qiáng)烈。領(lǐng)先的數(shù)據(jù)和分析公司GlobalData表示，那些采取具體措施減少環(huán)境影響的公司最有可能在未來(lái)幾年取得成功。

GlobalData最新的主題報(bào)告《石油和天然氣的可持續(xù)性》反映了石油和天然氣行業(yè)對(duì)環(huán)境的威脅已眾所周知，許多政府已經(jīng)采取了預(yù)防措施來(lái)緩解這一威脅。隨后，由于監(jiān)管和股東義務(wù)，許多石油和天然氣公司正在采取措施，以減少對(duì)環(huán)境的影響。但是，在涉及社會(huì)和治理因素時(shí)，不同公司處理這些問(wèn)題的方式似乎存在明顯差異。

大型石油和天然氣公司根據(jù)其各自的CSR投資組合開(kāi)展社會(huì)公益活動(dòng)。人們有意識(shí)地努力彌合工作場(chǎng)所的性別差距，保持多樣性并確保員工的整體健康幸福。問(wèn)責(zé)制的加強(qiáng)改善了油氣價(jià)值鏈的整體治理。

GlobalData的主題研究表明，Equinor、殼牌、埃克森美孚、道達(dá)爾、雪佛龍和OMV在油氣行業(yè)的可持續(xù)發(fā)展領(lǐng)域處于領(lǐng)先地位。

Puranik總結(jié)道：“采用整體方法可以幫助公司領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者確保其ESG戰(zhàn)略涵蓋可持續(xù)發(fā)展的各個(gè)方面。到2020年，企業(yè)將面臨更大的壓力，要求其ESG認(rèn)證更加透明。”

Oil and gas companies gravitating towards sustainability

Oil and gas companies are facing increasing scrutiny for their carbon intensive operations. With the passing of the 2015 United Nations Climate Change Framework, the demand for the oil and gas industry to curb its carbon emissions is becoming even stronger. Companies that implement concrete measures to reduce their environmental impact are best placed to succeed in the coming years, says GlobalData, a leading data and analytics company.

GlobalData’s latest thematic report, ‘Sustainability in Oil & Gas’, reflects that the environmental threat of oil and gas industry is widely recognised and various governments have initiated preventive measures to mitigate it. Subsequently, many oil and gas companies are taking steps to curb the environmental impact, primarily due to regulatory and shareholder obligations. However, when it comes to social and governance factors, there appears to be a distinct differentiation in the way different companies handle these issues.

Large oil and gas corporations have undertaken social welfare activities as per their individual CSR portfolios. There is a conscious effort to bridge the gender gap in workplaces, maintain diversity and ensure overall wellbeing of the employees. Increased accountability has improved overall governance across the oil and gas value chain.

GlobalData’s thematic research identifies that Equinor, Shell, ExxonMobil, Total, Chevron and OMV are among the leaders in the sustainability theme in the oil and gas industry.

Puranik concludes: “Adopting a holistic approach can help company leaders to ensure all aspects of sustainability are covered in their ESG strategy. In 2020, the pressure will mount on companies to be more transparent about their ESG credentials.”
