social responsibility

The City Council of Lafayette, Colorado, on 17 January voted to table an anti-hydraulic-fracturing ordinance that could impede oil and gas development within Lafayette through sanctioning acts of civil disobedience and nonviolent protest.

Corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs are a critical part of oil and gas project development. As companies continue to work in more densely populated communities, they have become better at working with local authorities to protect the interests of the people their operations affect.
