The Petroleum Industry (as part of WPC) is: • Developing solutions and responses that are socially, economically and environmentally acceptable, by: • Developing partnerships with UN bodies, global organisations (OPEC, IEA)and other industry associations (IGU, SPE, WEC, IPIECA) • Searching for cost effective solutions based on sound science and technology, and • Conducting consultations with key stakeholders

Social Concerns. Sustainability. “Meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. ” Gro Harlem Brundtland

Business concerns. A sustainable company is one that will last; that has embraced sustainable development Sustainable business: one that enhances long-term shareholder value by addressing the needs of all relevant stakeholders and adding economic, environmental and social value through its core business functions.

Conclusions • The cold war is history, but the world is uneasy • For business, there are financial, environmental and social pressures • Limits on what the industry can do, or ought to do • Petroleum is very central to cover energy needs • Science and technology has been, and will remain essential to future progress • The future is more oil and gas, but with cleaner production, processes, products and usage. • The future is also more energy efficiency
