Exploration and production of oil and natural gas is synonymous with contributing to realizing an affluent society. In this industry we should strive to create an organization with a corporate culture where securing safety and protecting environment have the highest priority as each of us acts based on highest integrity. We must explore business on a global scale in order to maintain a stable energy supply. In this pursuit, we are expected to comply with international norms and standards while exerting effort to create a globally acceptable corporate culture. Renowned international oil and natural gas companies are proactively involved in HSE (Heath, Safety and Environment) activities with their established HSE Management Systems. INPEX Corporation also established its first HSE Policy in 2006, and subsequently developed a number of standards that we call procedures and guidelines that delineate specific requirements in HSEMS regulations, occupational safety and hygiene, security management and environmental protection. Further, through the establishment of the Corporate HSE Committee and development of the annual HSE Objectives and Programs, we have been vigorously involved in various HSE activities with the PDCA cycle as the basis.
This is to introduce our HSE activities in offshore E&P projects and some of the HSE issues associated with these projects that we believe are important.
