Times are a changing

The future is here now, and we all have the chance to help shape it. Governments around the world are taking steps to regulate greenhouse gases and to reduce the carbon footprint of activities and industry. Policies and regulations, voluntary schemes and incentives for carbon reduction are becoming increasingly widespread.

As an industry we have work to do.

If your company wants to remain competitive and wishes to be at the front of the line when contract tenders are determined, won and lost there is a real need to understand two things.

Carbon footprint

ESG

Over the coming few months we at SAS Environmental Services are going to dive into these subjects and have a look at what we know and perhaps what we don’t know.

How will Green House Gas regulations and carbon footprint pressures impact the oilfield waste management industry? And, those of us who work to handle, treat and prevent oil waste, what will we do?

We set up SAS some 24 years ago to clean up the environment and reduce the harm of oil waste to communities, eco-systems and the Global environment.

ESG credits and reporting are going to put serious pressure on the oil industry and the waste management industry to improve performance. Equally, the financial system using ESG credits will play an important role in financing environmental projects.

This will bring challenges and opportunities.

We are going to dive into this conversation with you, our network. How can we as an industry, as a community of motivated and like-minded professionals, contribute to creating a better world AND ensure commercial success for our respective businesses?

Over the next few months we are going to look at a series of options, problems, and solutions.

We hope you will contribute and participate.
