The Quickly Evolving World of ESG in Oil and Gas M&A
With new SEC disclosures and increased investor pressure ESG considerations have quickly become a material business risk and investment issue. Join us on April 20th for a lively panel featuring investment banking, private equity and operator consultant insights on what exactly ESG means from a business and M&A perspective. It's much more than just climate considerations!
We'll have our usual networking from 5-6pm with a great opportunity to interact with top oil and gas industry professionals in an intimate environment with tasty hors d'oeuvres and an open bar generously sponsored by Inteleum!
The panel will feature high-profile guests Mark Sooby Managing Director at Lazard, Krish “Ravi” Ravishankar Worldwide Director of Sustainability/Social Responsibility, Environmental Affairs and Business Development for Occidental Petroleum Corporation (OXY), Trina Engels ESG & Sustainability Director at NTG Environmental and Chris Micsak Director at Pickering Energy Partners. These featured speakers come from impressive backgrounds and have many insights to share.
Topics will include:
- ESG's impact on investment and capital considerations
- ESG's impact on oil and gas operators
- How potential environmental risks are influencing asset A&D
- Constraints on public companies as they look to grow by acquisition
- How social elements – like workforce transitions and community engagement with a new operator influence both negotiations and execution
- Evolving governance pressure
- Will ESG objectives bring global and industrial gas end users back into the US gas upstream market?
- Initial reactions to the new SEC climate-related disclosure proposal
