Public engagement, climate change and Canada’s oil sands
A jewel in Canada’s energy crown or an environmental threat?
‘Increasing social expectations are re-defining the terms of industry’s license to operate. Risk and reputation today are far less about financial performance though we must have this. Nor are they about technical performance though skills are vitally important. They are about the impact on people, the physical environment and communities.’ - Sir Geoffrey Chandler, C.B.E
(Former Shell International Director, former Director General UK National Economic Development Office and founding chair, Business Advisory Group, Amnesty International UK)
Leaders in Canada’s oil sands industry have acknowledged that the industry’s environmental record is ‘not good’ and that it has a ‘big problem’. The development of the oil sands and the environmental footprint of these industrial activities have become an international issue transcending the interests of any single corporation, organization or government. Please join our esteemed participants in civil society and as we address issues that will define the terms of industry’s license to operate as well as Canada’s international reputation. Your participation and suggestions are a crucial force for social justice, environmentally sustainable economic growth and human progress
