Sustainability stories

We aim to have a positive economic impact on all areas in which we operate, both by growing the production of hydrocarbons and directly supporting the communities in which we operate.

We strongly believe that fulfilling our purpose requires that Genel not only be measured by what we achieve, but also by the way in which we achieve it.

As part of our efforts to further strengthen our ESG performance, Genel continues its commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals and UN Global Compact’s 10 Principles on human rights, labour standards, environment, and anti-corruption. Furthermore, our corporate values embody the way in which we live and work on a daily basis and our Code of Conduct stem from these values and illustrate our dedication to acting the right way towards all stakeholders.

We see our low-carbon and low-cost asset strategy as being the right one for the energy transition, and this has been a key focus area for our management team this past year. 2020 saw the elimination of routine flaring at Peshkabir, the development of a GHG emissions management standard, our first submission to CDP, and the issuing of our first GRI compliant Sustainability Report. Since then Genel has continued to progress our ESG ambitions as we navigate the energy transition.
