In 2021, the sustainable development (SD) and environmental assurance teams partnered to provide virtual training programs featuring discussions from top leaders on key sustainability topics. The mission of the Sustainability Learning Program is to support environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance through functional excellence and assured management of SD risks.

In fall 2021, over 90 environment and SD practitioners participated in a virtual three-day workshop to collaborate and discuss the company’s sustainability priorities, emerging topics and goals.

We have adapted and applied training materials developed by IPIECA and other best practice groups and training is made available to all global employees. Additionally, we are active in IPIECA best practice groups to develop training and guidance material. To support employee awareness of sustainability topics, we execute communications activities including executive videos, interviews, internal web broadcasts and social media that reinforce company positions, goals, actions and reporting. Stakeholder engagement and human rights training is available for all employees and key contractors.
