BG Group will go beyond compliance by seeking to meet internationally accepted good practice wherever we operate

Investors, governments and the public increasingly expect companies to recognise and manage their non-financial risks, the strategy is one element of that risk management

The environmental strategy is not a single document but is a suite of position papers and BG Group Briefs, underpinned by directives and standards

The strategy comprises an umbrella position and several strategy strands including : climate change, biodiversity, local air quality, waste, social impact

The strategy is dynamic; it will be revised as external expectations of international companies changes

The strategy provides a framework for managing environmental risks and maximising the value of the environmental benefits of gas over other fossil fuels

The strategy will enhance BG Group's ‘licence to grow'.
