Our ambition is to operate with zero harm to people, society and the environment in accordance with the principles for sustainable development. Our policies and requirements apply to all operations we control and to all staff and contractors involved in those operations. We expect our partners and suppliers to have standards consistent with ours.

By adhering to sound standards for HSE, business integrity and social responsibility, we believe that we are able to identify risks at an early stage.

In this section, we discuss our overall approach to managing environmental and social impacts, how we address our main risks and opportunities and our performance in this area in 2008.
