Corporate & Social Responsibility - Overview
Heritage’s Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") encompasses the management of relationships with shareholders, employees, contractors and the communities in areas where we work, together with the impact on society and the environment. We recognise we have specific responsibilities in each of these areas and consider adherence to CSR values to be a key factor in securing our long-term success.
Heritage today faces a wide range of both opportunities and challenges in the areas of CSR, health, safety and the environment in terms of responsibility and performance. This is particularly so given the nature of our industry and the geographic location of our operations, many of which are in countries with complex social, political and economic challenges and/or particular environmental sensitivities.
Heritage’s objective is to minimise our impact on the environment and to support development in local communities. We recognise the importance of engaging with local stakeholders and take seriously concerns regarding oil and gas development. We believe that by working closely with host communities we are better enabled to meet the challenges facing us.
