At QatarEnergy, we recognize the critical importance of sustainability. We are committed to the sustainable development of our business, our people and broader society. We show this by adopting a comprehensive and integrated approach in addressing the challenges posed by climate change, taking action to mitigate impact on the environment, ensuring safe and responsible operations and contributing to overall social and economic development. We believe that by integrating sustainability in our businesses and operations, we can contribute to building a better future for all.
Our sustainability strategy rests on three pillars:
-
Climate change and environmental action
-
Operational responsibility
-
Social and economic development
Our strategic pillars
Our sustainability strategy is integrated across our business. It is built upon three pillars, each contributing to our commitment towards a more sustainable future. The first pillar, ‘Climate change and environmental action’, focuses on supplying lower-carbon LNG supporting global sustainability, reducing our carbon footprint and developing new lower-carbon energy solutions, curbing operational emissions, capturing and offsetting hard-to-abate emissions, minimizing and recycling waste through circular practices and protecting the environment throughout our operational activities. The second pillar, ‘Operational responsibility’ underscores our dedication to the safety of our people and assets, as well as to operational excellence. The third pillar, ‘Social and economic development’, reflects our commitment to creating positive socioeconomic impacts. This pillar encompasses caring for our people, as well as creating value and sharing it across communities.
Our enablers
Underpinning these pillars are four strategic enablers that drive our approach to sustainability. A ‘Culture of sustainability’ promotes a mindset which aims to incorporate care for the environment, communities and each other in the decisions we make. ‘Innovation, creativity and a learning mindset’ serves as a catalyst for transformative change driving the development and implementation of cutting-edge solutions and practices. ‘Collaboration, co-creation and stakeholder engagement’ is all about the crucial role of people connecting across boundaries to ensure a holistic and inclusive approach to sustainability. ‘Responsible business conduct and governance’ forms the basis for the implementation and delivery of our sustainability strategy. Upholding the highest standards of ethical conduct and governance practices is paramount to our sustainability journey. It ensures transparency, accountability and responsible decision-making in all aspects of our business operations.
Our policies
Serving as a bedrock are QatarEnergy’s
Code of Conduct and
Foundational Policies, with the Sustainability Policy holding a key position. It lays out clear guidelines and objectives to promote sustainable business practices. By implementing these policies, we strengthen our commitment to environmental stewardship, social responsibility and economic resilience. This framework goes beyond meeting expectations, it aims to surpass them, securing a sustainable and responsible legacy.
