CARING FOR OUR ENVIRONMENT
As a growing oil and gas explorer and producer, we recognise our responsibility to understand and respect the environment, to minimise our impact, and remediate areas affected by past activities.
Our Environmental Policy outlines our approach to operating in an environmentally responsible manner.
The environmental aspects of our operations are governed by strict regulations which are integrated into our operational procedures.
Beach’s Operations Excellence Management System and relevant operations manuals provide the framework within which our environmental responsibilities are managed.
Beach assesses the potential environmental impacts of all activities prior to the commencement of a project and regularly engages with relevant stakeholders, including landholders, native title claimants, iwi, hapū and local government agencies, to ensure these activities are open and transparent during any planning and ongoing operations.
Similar to health and safety incidents, all environmental incidents and near misses are recorded and reported through the Beach incident reporting system. A range of industry specific key performance indicators such as number, type and volume of spills, number and value of regulatory fines, and quantity of greenhouse gas emissions are used to measure the effectiveness of our environmental management systems.
