Our Strategic Objectives
Purpose
Ensuring profitable growth, energy security, and operational excellence
At the heart of our sustainability agenda lies a clear and unwavering purpose to ensure energy security for our nation and deliver sustainable revenue to the government that fuels national development. As a leading oil and gas company, we recognise that our operations are not just about extracting resources—they are about empowering people, industries, and institutions. Our commitment to purpose means:
Energy Security
We are dedicated to maintaining a stable, reliable, and resilient energy supply that meets the growing demands of our economy
National Revenue Generation
Our operations are a cornerstone of the national economy. Through responsible resource management, transparent governance, and strategic partnerships, we maximise value for the government and contribute significantly to public finances - supporting education, healthcare, infrastructure, and social programs.
Planet
Advancing climate action, resource efficiency, and environmental stewardship
Through bold climate action, responsible resource management, and investment in renewables, we are shaping a more sustainable future.
Climate Action
We are dedicated to achieving net-zero operational Scope 1 & 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, with robust structures in place to guide this transition. Our strategy also targets net-zero upstream methane emissions, aiming for methane intensity below 0.2% by 2030, and the elimination of routine gas flaring by 2030. These goals reflect our resolve to reduce our carbon footprint while maintaining energy reliability.
Resource Efficiency
We are enhancing our environmental performance by effectively managing biodiversity, water resources, and air quality across our operations. Our approach integrates leading practices and continuous monitoring to minimise ecological impact and preserve natural ecosystems for future generations.
Renewables and Nature-Based Solutions
Beyond emissions reduction, we are driving profitable growth in renewable energy—exploring solar, and other clean technologies to diversify our energy mix. We are also mobilising funding for nature-based solutions that restore landscapes, enhance carbon sequestration, and support community resilience.
People
Promoting inclusive growth, employee well-being, and community impact
Our people are the foundation of our success and the driving force behind our sustainability journey. This thinking drives our commitment to promoting human and labour rights, enhancing our employees' emotional and physical health and creating lasting positive impacts within our host communities.
Inclusive Growth
We believe that progress must be shared. Through equitable employment practices, local content development, and capacity-building initiatives, we ensure that opportunities are accessible to all — regardless of background, gender, or geography. We are building a workforce and supply chain that reflects the diversity and strength of our nation.
Employee Well-being
Our employees are our greatest asset. We invest in their health, safety, and professional development, creating a workplace culture that values respect, collaboration, and continuous learning. From wellness programs to leadership training, we empower our people to thrive both personally and professionally.
Community Impact
We are deeply rooted in the communities we serve. Through strategic social investments in education, healthcare, infrastructure, and environmental stewardship, we aim to uplift lives and foster resilience. Our partnerships with stakeholders ensure that our impact is meaningful, inclusive, and sustainable.
