An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Oil & Gas Industry
The Importance of Reputational Risk
Course Overview
This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Oil & Gas Industry training course addresses the raft of issues that face companies in the hydrocarbon industries. The global focus on climate change has cast the oil and gas industry as a problem sector. Disasters, oil-spills and financial irregularities have all fed high-profile news stories that fuel public distrust and protest. Communities that rejoiced in the discovery of oil have sometimes grown disenchanted with the reality of its extraction and the infrastructure that grows to support it.
While some companies and host governments have handled matters deftly and with great strategic insight, this has not always been the case. This training course will give you the skills to identify, monitor and manage issues that affect your organisation, map stakeholder interests and maintain positive stakeholder relationships within the framework of corporate policy and strategy.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- The development of a strategic approach to Corporate Social Responsibility
- The tools to identify, track and manage issues
- Stakeholder identification and mapping
- Risk and crisis management approaches and tools
