The 12 billion USD sour gas field project in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi has received the confirmation document on the successful implementation of ISO 26000 within its structures from the President of the CSR Company International on March 18th, 2014.

Al Hosn CEO Saif Ahmed Al Ghafli is proud to run the first oil and Gas Company globally to have achieved this. Knowing that ISO 26000 is not for 3rd party certification yet, this Confirmation proofs the continues commitment of Al Hosn towards CSR in the understanding of ISO 26000, moving away from charity and sponsorship towards a sustainable approach to the massive impacts a gas exploration and production project such as Al Hosn implies.

CSR Company International has supported Al Hosn, a daughter company of the 4th largest oil producer globally ADNOC (Abu Dhabi National Oil Company) all throughout the journey towards implementing ISO 26000. The company has done great efforts in establishing its materiality matrix, a very extensive stakeholder matrix including interests and impacts,  a measurement process and many more steps. Dr. Abdul Monem Al Mazooqi, the sustainability responsible, and his team are committed to further intensify the work by raising the awareness by conducting a training and awareness campaign during the 3rd quarter of this year for all 1.400 employees. 

Adding this sour gas field to the long list of experience in the extracting industry, reaching from gold, silver, copper, coal mining to oil & gas exploration and exploitation companies in Europe, Asia and Africa CSR Company International is uniquely positioned to provide companies with taylor made CSR strategies and implementation steps, including reporting and measuring, stakeholder engagement and government relations.
