ConocoPhillips’ Post

Why do we seem to go to such great lengths to prove H. G. Wells right when he noted (in 1920): “Human history becomes more and more a race between education and catastrophe.” While we continue to plunder the seas for food, we mow seem poised to wreak new havoc in our quest for minerals. This report by the Environmental Justice Foundation does a great job of summarizing what is at stake. #sustainablematerials

PETAN ADVOCATES LOCAL CONTENT IN NIGERIA'S OIL PRODUCTION, PLEDGES SUPPORT TO WEED OUT 'MIDDLEMEN BUSINESSES' https://lnkd.in/eZdJMKVX Listen to excerpts of PETAN Chairman and CEO, Geoplex Drillteq Limited , Engr. Wole Ogunsanya 's contribution to the topic 'Nigerian Content As A Business Enabler' earlier today at a panel discussion at the ongoing NOG Energy Week Conference & Exhibition His submission is that Nigerian Content has been a business enabler as it has enhanced local operators to offer services in the oil and gas industry that was hitherto offered by multinationals. "PETAN, which clocks 30 years in the oil and gas industry this year, is essentially, the sponsor of the local content law, and in contributing to shape that law, submitted the clause that in the case of divestments in oil and gas assets in Nigeria, Nigerian companies should have first consideration and we're happy to see that these opportunities are birthing strategic collaborations by lowering barrier of entry for local operators, retaining millions of dollars' worth of investment in-country, and building Nigerian brands that work in and beyond Africa". On 'middlemen businesses' that cast shadow on the competencies and integrity of Nigerian oil and gas operators, he expressed the readiness of PETAN to partner relevant stakeholders such as the NCDMB Online and Nigerian Upstream Petroleum Regulatory Commission (NUPRC) to weed them out through the introduction of a PETAN's seal of quality with an internationally recognised certification company to serve as an additional layer of authenticating those listed on the NCDMB's NOGIC JQS portal and NUPRC's National Data Repository".

There's no doubt that #algal oil products are on the rise - especially with consumers seeking #sustainable alternatives. It's worth mentioning that while fish oil is typically seen as the go-to for omega-3s, algal oil provides remarkably similar (and sometimes even equivalent) levels of this essential nutrient. Check out this new product certification launched by SGS Nutrasource for algal oil #naturalhealthproducts. This certification will help shoppers identify third-party tested supplements for quality, safety, and purity. #sustainablehealth #algae #algaloil #omega3s #nutrition

🌏 A major win for the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) and food security! 👏 Well done to AgForce Queensland and Michael Guerin for leading the charge on an issue that all Australians should be aware of. AgForce has taken decisive action to halt Glencore/CTSCo’s risky proposal to pump liquid carbon dioxide waste straight into the GAB. The GAB is one of the largest underground freshwater reservoirs in the world, essential for food security, regional communities, and diverse ecosystems across Australia. This victory not only protects the GAB from immediate harm but also sets the stage for stronger federal policies to safeguard it against future threats. At IIF we have thousands of members with farms that stretch from Tasmania to the top end, and many rely on the GAB to survive and thrive. 👏 Kudos to AgForce for spearheading this critical fight. Follow them to stay updated as they work to secure lasting protections for the Great Artesian Basin! #AgForce #ProtectTheBasin #EnvironmentalVictory #everyfamilyneedsafarmer #savetheGAB

Today, on the United Nations' World Environment Day, Anglo American claims that they, “have a responsibility to ensure that land is restored to how it was before our stewardship.”   This statement is completely at odds with the reality of Anglo American’s toxic legacy in #Kabwe, Zambia, where tens of thousands of children and women of child-bearing age allege that they have been poisoned by lead left behind by the Kabwe Mine, which was an Anglo American mine for nearly 50 years (1925-1974).   Today, people in Kabwe still live in one of the most polluted places in the world. Their homes, gardens, schools, public areas, and roads are polluted with lead. The World Health Organization and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are clear: there's no safe level of lead exposure. Studies show alarmingly high lead levels in children, with lasting health consequences like brain damage and even death. Generations have suffered. Anglo American knew of the dangers of environmental lead poisoning around Kabwe communities and failed to prevent harm coming to the children and women of the local communities.   Now, Anglo American South Africa is facing a class action lawsuit. The Kabwe Claimants allege that Anglo American South Africa is liable because it played a key role in controlling, managing, supervising and advising on technical, medical, and safety aspects of the operations of the Mine, deficiencies in which resulted in heavy contamination of the local environment with lead. In a recent development in this case, on Friday April 19, the Johannesburg High Court granted the Kabwe Claimants permission to appeal a recent judgment which denied class certification of this class action. The case for certification will now be heard by South Africa’s Supreme Court of Appeal.   Follow our social media channels for the latest updates on the claim or visit the Children of Kabwe website.   🔗https://lnkd.in/eYng7H85   #AngloAmerican #WorldEnvironmentDay #FutureGenerations #Environment #JusticeforKabwe https://lnkd.in/e9JB6_6R
