  4. Oil and gas industry sustainability reporting • Oil and gas companies are among the pioneers of sustainability reporting. • The 2005 Guidance provided the industry-specific framework for reporting on environmental, health, safety, social and economic performance. • The 2010 Guidance revision occurred over 3 years by hundreds of technical experts, from 26 companies and industry associations. • Guidance is applicable for national oil companies, independent oil companies, and oil and gas service companies. • Extensively reviewed and critiqued with an external stakeholder panel. • Assists new and existing reporters to develop and improve their reporting processes.

  5. What’s new • Provides significant added guidance on reporting • Addresses two major hurdles – ‘why report’ and ‘how to report’. • Describes the strategic sustainability issues facing industry • Clearer focus on assessing “material” issues for the company • Improved technical indicators and reporting elements for use in reporting sustainability performance. • Greater definition of indicators and reporting protocols • Facilitates benchmarking and data aggregation • Enables greater consistency

  12. External stakeholder engagement • Independent external stakeholder panel • Provided insights and feedback on direction and priorities • Group of experts with solid understanding of sustainability issues affecting the oil and gas industry • Representative of views of typical report readers: • Environmental and community-oriented NGOs • Business and industry • Investors • Multi-lateral institutions • Public comment • On-line survey to obtain feedback on Guidance, priority areas • Second comment period / on-line survey on draft of revised Guidance

  13. Engagement with GRI • Regular interactions to promote synergies • Joint Communication Plan • Periodic updates via meetings and conference calls • Key role of members-in-common– BP, Statoil, Hess, Petrobras, Shell • Sharing of key documents • Recognition of the value of both processes • Differentiation of the two processes • GRI is multi-sector focused with broad external engagement (multi-stakeholder, consensus-seeking approach) • IPIECA places higher priority on industry-specific issues and technical protocols • Oil and Gas Sector Supplement expected late 2011/early 2012 • Will work cooperatively on mapping Guidance to the Oil and Gas Sector Supplement • Working towards alignment wherever possible

  14. Next steps... • IPIECA, API and OGP are now focused on: • Encouraging the practice of sustainability reporting in the oil and gas industry • Promoting utilization of the Guidance • Developing tools for new reporters • Monitoring developments in the field of sustainability reporting, e.g. Integrated reporting • Seeking industry endorsements for the Guidance
