INTRODUCTION
This Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) in the Oil & Gas Industry training course addresses the raft of issues that face companies in the hydrocarbon industries. The global focus on climate change has cast the oil and gas industry as a problem sector. Disasters, oil-spills and financial irregularities have all fed high-profile news stories that fuel public distrust and protest. Communities that rejoiced in the discovery of oil have sometimes grown disenchanted with the reality of its extraction and the infrastructure that grows to support it.
While some companies and host governments have handled matters deftly and with great strategic insight, this has not always been the case.
