Our approach to sustainability is embedded in how we operate and conduct our business. We consider sustainability as an approach to generate long-term value by understanding our company’s operations in the ecological, economic, and social environment. We have incorporated sustainability parameters into our business strategy that fosters company longevity and helps us sustain our leadership status in all aspects of the business.
We fulfil consumer and other stakeholder demands in a responsible manner through efficient product delivery and operational performance. We have developed a strategic roadmap for sustainability that serves as guidance in ensuring that our impact upon the environment and society is either neutral or positive.
Our sustainability roadmap has been carefully crafted based on the stakeholder requirements, national priorities on accessible energy and energy security, and the rising demand for natural gas in our country. Sustainability as a transformational driver has helped us evolve to become a socially and environmentally accountable corporate.
Sustainability Governance
We believe that strong governance alongside a robust set of strategies and policies related to triple bottom line management ‘form’ the foundation of uniform implementation of our sustainability agenda across our joint ventures, sites, and subsidiaries.
