Responsible business

Responsible business

Our ambition is to build an upstream energy business that treats commercial performance and responsible conduct as connected priorities.

Our approach

Responsible conduct begins with how an opportunity is considered.

We seek to consider people, the environment and the interests of relevant stakeholders in the opportunities we pursue.

These considerations inform how we evaluate potential investments, select suitable partners and define responsibilities.

01

Safety and operational responsibility

Clear standards and clearly defined responsibilities.

Safe operations are fundamental to long-term asset stewardship.

In evaluating opportunities and potential partnerships, we recognise the importance of appropriate operating standards, competent teams and clearly defined responsibilities.

02

Environmental considerations

Consider environmental risks and obligations early.

Environmental risks and obligations form an important part of understanding an upstream investment. We seek to consider these issues early and to work with suitable partners and advisers in evaluating how they should be managed.

Connected principles

Relationships, oversight and participation

Responsible business depends on constructive engagement, sound governance and the contribution of capable Nigerian participants.

03

Community and stakeholder relationships

We recognise the importance of constructive engagement with communities and stakeholders connected to upstream operations. Respect, clear communication and an understanding of local concerns are important to the way we intend to build our business.

04

Governance and integrity

We aim to conduct business with integrity, clear accountability and appropriate oversight. Sound decision-making, responsible relationships and attention to applicable requirements are central to the business we seek to develop.

05

Nigerian participation

We value the contribution of Nigerian professionals, businesses and expertise to the energy sector. As opportunities develop, we seek to work with capable local participants and appropriate specialist partners.
