Energy Pulse: US E&Ps polish up their ESG credentials
This report is currently unavailable
Report summary
The past few years have seen a dramatic shift in US E&Ps’ attitudes to environmental, social and governance questions. A few years ago, these issues were largely neglected, but rising interest in ESG investing has encouraged many oil and gas companies to improve their performance on issues such as carbon emissions and executive pay. ConocoPhillips’ acquisition of Concho Resources and Pioneer Natural Resources’ acquisition of Parsley Energy, both announced this week, have put a spotlight on ESG performance. ConocoPhillips has become the first large US oil company to set an ambition of reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, putting down a marker for its competitors. Meanwhile, there are questions about how far Pioneer will continue with the drive to improve environmental performance that was under way at Parsley.
