When we talk of ESG (environmental, social and corporate governance) in oil and gas, the focus inevitably turns to toward the “E.” But, you shouldn’t forget the “S” and “G,” said TGS CEO Kristian Johansen.
“You forget that the industry makes strong contributions to the social and governance,” Johansen said in this wide ranging interview with Hart Energy. It’s important because those are the main drivers toward any goals of reaching net zero emissions, he added.
