As we emerge from a period of inactivity for many drilling rigs, it is important to understand the obligations and responsibilities that are associated with rig re-activation and startups, whilst managing the additional risks and challenges/restrictions that the current COVID-19 pandemic incorporates.
In order to create conversation about how the industry will switch gears to meet the coming demand, IADC 2021 Drilling Onshore Conference & Exhibition will hold a panel discussion titled “Building an Authentic Approach to ESG.”
This session will focus on today’s shifting Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) landscape and how oil and gas operators can mitigate risk and capture opportunity through thoughtful ESG program development, stakeholder engagement, and authentic messaging. Discussion points will include the renewed focus on ESG in the sector, best practice in developing and executing programs that align with business objectives and stakeholder needs, and how – done right – a strategic approach can enhance reputation and drive value creation.
