Campaign on Awareness rising and Mobilization on Corporate Social Responsibilities of oil and gas companies in Sindh
Pakistan is bestowed with variety of natural resources. The province of Sindh is the richest in many of the natural resources among the provinces of Pakistan. Sindh has been the largest producer of crude oil since many years, and now its newfound natural gas production is also on the rise, making it potentially the largest producer of oil and natural gas in Pakistan. Presently more than one dozen multinational oil and gas firms are engaged in the exploration and production of oil and gas in Sindh. However, the operations of the multinational oil and gas companies, are negatively contributing towards the degradation of livelihoods and the environment of the local areas. It is mainly because the multinational firms are largely ignoring the standards of Corporate Social Responsibility, OECD [The Organization of Economic Cooperation and Development] Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the Articles of Petroleum Concession Agreements [PCA] and other laws and rules.
