Commitments

In 2009, the Maurel & Prom Group continued and confi rmed its commitment to implementing a dynamic sustainable development policy, guided by ongoing professional diligence.

The initiative launched by the Maurel & Prom Group over the preceding years is part of a pursuit for progress, improvement in working methods, and know-how with a recurrent focus: Controlling risks and impacts on the environment and people, since the latter are considered full stakeholders in their own right in the success and quality of our operations.

To do this, Maurel & Prom and all its subsidiaries are committed to complying with local regulations and adopting behaviours focused on prevention, and the health and safety of human beings.

By combining its exploration and production activities with a dynamic sustainable development policy, the Maurel & Prom Group pursues its operational objectives while continuing to control the risks inherent its activities. Managing the daily risks related to its choice to locate its facilities abroad, the Maurel & Prom Group advocates continuous diligence and ethics. Action plans for prevention, protection and social goals are carried out in all Group subsidiaries. Responsibility and action on the part of every player remain essential components in the Maurel & Prom Group’s success in sustainable development.

The continual striving for deeper knowledge, and constant awareness of the environmental risks associated with the Group’s activities, are the major lines of thinking we are constantly developing. Continuously testing our practices in order to improve them is an ongoing theme in how we drive our sustainable development policy. Organising our exploration/production activities around the three basic pillars of sustainable development - “economy, ecology, society” - remains at the centre of our daily concerns.

A Code of Conduct reconciling the imperatives of safety, prevention, environmental protection and individual responsibility constitutes the basis of the sustainable development policy put in place at the Maurel & Prom Group. This dynamic commitment is refl ected in the practical and concrete actions we have taken in all areas where Maurel & Prom is developing and intends to develop its activities.
