Abstract

Presented on Tuesday 16 May: Session 3

The year 2030, when the first regulatory climate targets will likely be required to be implemented in Australia, is less than eight years away. Increased shareholder focus along with regulatory and societal pressures means that whilst most Oil and Gas producers have introduced emissions-related targets, implementation has proven more difficult – let alone harnessing this evolution holistically across existing and new energy assets. Given the embryonic nature and ambiguity of Sustainability in many organisations, there is a need to identify how Sustainability-related activities and targets intersect with the current and future value chain of the business. Establishing a clear understanding of the broader organisation’s perception of Sustainability allows for the design and implementation of an integrated roadmap, which combines the technical projects associated with emissions reduction along with critical enabling activities to embed Sustainability as a value driver, rather than a discrete function. The audience will gain insights on how to de-risk the achievement of 2030 regulatory climate targets by adopting an integrated approach to Sustainability and our lessons learnt on how to ready the organisation and deploy this approach.
