IADC is proud to support the SPE International Health, Safety, Environment, & Sustainability (IHSES) Conference & Exhibition, which took place 10-12 September in Abu Dhabi. Hisham Zebian, IADC VP – Eastern Hemisphere, participated in a panel on “Developing a Culture of Care and WellBeing in the Energy Sector.”
During the session, Hisham spoke about the Mental Health in Energy initiative, originally launched by the IADC North Sea Chapter. As part of this initiative, the North Sea Chapter published a 15-page white paper titled “Changing Minds: Saving Lives – An urgent new approach to mental health in the North Sea.” The Chapter also hosted an interactive Mental Health in Energy Workshop in 2023. More recently, a task group has been formed and a Mental Health in Energy Charter has been established, with many companies pledging their support.
IADC appreciates the opportunity to support and participate in important conversations about the wellbeing of our workforce, such as those that took place at the SPE IHSES Conference.
