US Oil and Gas Producers Explain How ESG is Driving the Energy Business Forward

When it comes to climate action, the oil and gas industry is often blamed for not telling its side of the story and finds itself battling varying public opinions.

Over the past few years, however, the growing popularity of ESG has prompted U.S. oil and gas producers to talk publicly not just about their environmental stewardship, but also societal and governance progress.

“ESG starts with an E, but definitely shouldn’t end there,” said Brian Cain, chief sustainability officer with Civitas Resources, adding that the oil and gas companies have a “rich history” of heavily investing in supporting its communities.
