據油氣新聞6月8日消息稱，石油和天然氣公司的碳密集型業務正面臨越來越多的審查。隨著2015年《聯合國氣候變化框架》的通過，對油氣行業遏制碳排放的需求更加強烈。領先的數據和分析公司GlobalData表示，那些采取具體措施減少環境影響的公司最有可能在未來幾年取得成功。

GlobalData最新的主題報告《石油和天然氣的可持續性》反映了石油和天然氣行業對環境的威脅已眾所周知，許多政府已經采取了預防措施來緩解這一威脅。隨后，由于監管和股東義務，許多石油和天然氣公司正在采取措施，以減少對環境的影響。但是，在涉及社會和治理因素時，不同公司處理這些問題的方式似乎存在明顯差異。

大型石油和天然氣公司根據其各自的CSR投資組合開展社會公益活動。人們有意識地努力彌合工作場所的性別差距，保持多樣性并確保員工的整體健康幸福。問責制的加強改善了油氣價值鏈的整體治理。

GlobalData的主題研究表明，Equinor、殼牌、埃克森美孚、道達爾、雪佛龍和OMV在油氣行業的可持續發展領域處于領先地位。

Puranik總結道：“采用整體方法可以幫助公司領導者確保其ESG戰略涵蓋可持續發展的各個方面。到2020年，企業將面臨更大的壓力，要求其ESG認證更加透明。”

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.”
