Learn more about PRIO’s commitment to the environment and our actions to mitigate climate change.
Climate Change Mitigation
We recognize that climate change is a reality, so PRIO and the entire O&G industry need to be able to adapt and collaborate to mitigate such changes. We make great efforts to address the urgent need to minimize relative greenhouse gas emissions.
Operating Risk Management
PRIO has a robust operational risk management system capable of meeting the expectations of our stakeholders. This system is based on ALARP (as low as reasonably practicable), i.e., reducing all risk to the lowest possible level.
Environmental Protection
PRIO develops a number of activities so that we can diligently assess and reduce the impact of our activities.
The PRIO Footprint series shows that it is possible to combine oil and sustainability. In three episodes, we showcase our initiatives to generate income, produce knowledge and preserve biodiversity.
