PDO seeks a high standard of environmental performance with the aim of promoting the long-term benefits to its shareholders, its employees and the society of Oman as a whole. To achieve this, a holistic environmental strategy was endorsed in 2015 to attain compliance with regulatory and corporate requirements, as well as the adoption of international standards and best practices. This environmental strategy, appropriately, identified the need to revise and redraft the environmental management specification with an objective to simplify while addressing all the environmental risks.

In the beginning of 2015, an independent review of our existing specifications was commissioned to benchmark against international best practices. In parallel, an extensive internal assessment of environmental risks, mitigation and opportunities was conducted. These two foundational activities led to the development of an initial draft of specification for environmental management. Finally, thorough engagements with different teams at all levels of the organisation were conducted to seek feedback on this specification.

This extensive exercise resulted in consolidation of four existing environmental specifications into a single specification for environmental management. The specification provides a starting point towards understanding and managing environmental risks in new projects and existing assets.
The new specification can be accessed via link on PDO HSE webpage. Please feel free to contact MSE 2 team for any feedback and questions.
