Oxy Qatar received an award for “Excellence in socio-economic contribution and corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities” at Qatar’s 4th Annual Excellence in Sustainability Awards Ceremony.
HE the Minister of Energy and Industry, Dr Mohamed bin Saleh al-Sada; with HE the Minister of Environment, Ahmed Amer Mohamed al-Humaidi; presented the award to Oxy Qatar’s president and general manager, Steve Kelly, here last month.
The awards ceremony celebrated the conclusion of the annual Qatar Energy and Industry Sector Sustainability (QEISS) Programme and the official launch of Qatar’s 2013 Energy and Industry Sustainability Report. This is an industry-wide initiative that analyses and summarises the sustainable development and health, environment and safety (HES) performance of participating companies in Qatar on an annual basis.
This year, some 36 participating companies submitted reports on their sustainable development practices and performance, which were assessed and evaluated for Qatar’s Energy and Industry Sustainability Report.
“As a committed partner of Qatar Petroleum for more than 20 years, Oxy Qatar has submitted a Social Responsibility (SR) Report since the country’s reporting initiative began in 2010. This year is the first time that Oxy Qatar was recognised for best-in-class performance in CSR at the awards ceremony, coinciding with the launch of Oxy Qatar’s first public SR Report,” the company said in a release.
Oxy Qatar’s 2014 achievement reflects the enhanced impact of the business unit’s SR Programme since 2010, when a multi-functional SR Committee was formed to select and manage Oxy Qatar’s SR initiatives.
Oxy Qatar’s SR Committee includes representatives from HES, SR, human resources, public relations, finance and legal, as a way to focus and integrate SR issues throughout Oxy Qatar.
The SR Committee meets monthly to plan and implement the annual Social Responsibility Programme, including selecting the initiatives that align with Oxy’s long-term SR strategy, and assessing the progress of ongoing activities to ensure high value for the company and Oxy Qatar’s key stakeholders.
