Sustainability
The meeting of leaders, experts, and stakeholders emphasized the urgency of addressing greenhouse-gas emissions to mitigate climate change and align with global sustainability goals.
The test marks a milestone in the Poseidon CCS project, which aims to store carbon dioxide in the depleted gas reservoir below the Leman development in the southern North Sea.
This paper shares learnings from building a corporate sustainability culture as an infrastructure for environmental and sustainability programs by identifying enablers and challenges common to oil and gas organizations, which are relatively advanced in their sustainability journey.
