The business activities of our Technology and Energy divisions, in particular, cause disruptions to natural ecosystems, and it is incumbent upon us to plan our operations in ways that minimise impacts on native flora and fauna species – and their land or sea-based habitats. Doing so protects our reputation as an environmentally responsible organisation and safeguards our social license to operate in a time of heightened regulatory and stakeholder scrutiny. Our Approach To minimise our impact on natural ecosystems, we adhere to the best practices outlined in relevant, internationally recognised standards including ISO 14001:2015 Environmental Management Systems, to which SilTerra and OGPC have received certification, and Environmental Quality Act and Regulations 2007, which outlines clear standards in relation to the prevention, abatement and control of pollution as well as the enhancement of natural environments. Supporting environmentally responsible actions across our operations, we educate our employees on the importance of biodiversity through purpose-fit training programmes and initiatives, providing them with the means to put their learning into practice through biodiversity-related corporate social responsibility (“CSR”) activities. We also engage closely with government entities and industry players to foster collaborative approaches on biodiversity protection, with the aim of delivering greater positive impact on natural ecosystems. 119 Integrated Report 2023
