TECHNICAL COMMITTEES

Sustainable Development Goals

Created in 2019

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted by the United Nations are today an essential agenda for governments and organizations of any kind.

Environmental, social, economic and cultural impacts impose a review of the models of doing business accompaniedby technological development. Therefore, working towards the SDGs becomes an ethical and social imperative and a corporate sustainability requirement.

Due to its size and characteristics, our industry has a significant weight in the contributions to the compliance with the objectives at the level of individual countries and, therefore, of the region as a whole. It is of the utmost importance to identify this contribution and to work on its furtherance.

The SDG Working Group aims to:

  • Generate a common understanding on the issue and give visibility to the value of the SDGs for the business strategy in order to incorporate them into the agenda of oil and gas organizations in the region.
  • Map the situation in companies in the sector in the region and prioritize the SDGs that can create greater impact.
  • Identify key opportunities and define lines of work to develop the SDG agenda of the sector in the region for 2030.
  • Assess and communicate progress to stakeholders.
