Sustainability Week 2023 to be co-hosted by PDO
Committed to spearheading a stable and inclusive energy transition, Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has demonstrated its environmental stewardship by pioneering innumerable sustainability initiatives. The latest in its line of endeavours is its participation as the cohost of the upcoming Oman Sustainability Week (OSW) to be held during March 12-16, 2023 at the Oman Convention and Exhibition Center (OCEC).
The national-level event is hosted under the patronage of the Ministry of Energy and Minerals, and PDO will be co-hosting the event for the second year in a row.
PDO'S external affairs and value creation director Eng Abdul Amir al Ajmi said, “With sustainability being the bedrock of transformation globally, PDO has kept pace with Oman Vision 2040 and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, remaining steadfast in its commitment to deliver meaningful social investment programmes aimed at creating sustainable benefits for the Omani society.”
He said, “OSW poses as an excellent networking platform to drive collaboration, cooperation, and knowledge exchange between industry leaders, sustainability experts, and stakeholders from various organisations. PDO seeks to support such impactful interactions which it believes is critical to further enhancing Oman’s potential to become a leading green energy hub.”
Apart from being a meeting ground for key players in the sector, OSW will also showcase the latest technologies and innovations in the segment. Providing both business enhancement opportunities as well as the chance to increase awareness in the realm of sustainability, OSW includes leadership conferences, an extensive exhibition, awards, technical workshops, and site visits.
Through its participation at the event, PDO also endeavours to instil the 'Think Green’ mindset amongst individuals and organisations while promoting awareness about the importance of adopting sustainable practices and the resultant positive impact on the environment. As a socially responsible institution that upholds the highest level of ethicality, PDO will continue to lead by example and encourage everyone to team up and commit to inculcating sustainability, both in their professional and personal lives.
