Addressing Stakeholder Questions: Access to more information will help NGSC participants respond to stakeholder questions and concerns.
Supporting Corporate Sustainability Goals: Greater visibility in the supply chain helps companies meet sustainability goals.
Robust voluntary reporting offers important benefits to natural gas producers and other stakeholders:
Improving Performance: Environmental and social metrics tracked through the reporting process help companies assess their operations and identify opportunities to reduce costs and improve safe and responsible production practices.
Publicizing Accurate Information: Voluntary environmental and social reporting provides the opportunity for companies to directly communicate with the public and educate stakeholders about corporate priorities and sustainability practices.
Building Transparency and Trust with Stakeholders: Companies can strengthen their social license to operate by engaging with and responding to stakeholders.
Participant Perspectives
“Transparency and disclosure of material supply chain sustainability topics in any sector are an integral part of a comprehensive sustainability strategy,” said Bruno Sarda, Vice President, Sustainability at NRG Energy. “More visibility on social and environmental practices in natural gas production will help foster new dialogues, drive new collaborative actions, and build stakeholder confidence.”
“We care about the environmental footprint of our product, and we know our customers do too,” said Bill Edmonds, NW Natural Director of Environmental Management and Sustainability. “The environmental and social performance indicators outlined in this report highlight key topics of interest for natural gas purchasers and our stakeholders.”
