The SD team and Environmental Assurance group hosted the Global Environmental and Sustainable Development Leaders Workshop in June 2022. The event included more than 50 participants from environmental, stakeholder engagement, SD, government affairs, low carbon, finance and other functions. Objectives were convening leading subject matter experts from throughout the company to share knowledge across functions, advancing the SD strategy, and further developing the function. Concurrently, a global virtual event was held to increase awareness and understanding of key ESG issues. Over 530 people participated, with the Vice President (VP), Sustainable Development, and VP, Low Carbon Technologies, discussing risks, trends and the drivers most impactful to ConocoPhillips, as well as our organizational response.

As a part of our efforts to advance employee awareness of sustainability topics, we executed communications activities including executive videos, interviews, internal web broadcasts and social media that reinforce company positions, goals, actions and reporting. Stakeholder engagement and human rights training is available for all employees and key contractors. We have also adapted and applied training materials developed by Ipieca, the global oil and gas industry association focused on environmental and social performance, and other best practice groups and made them available to all global employees.

We also launched the SD career development team, identifying key SD roles, core and cross-functional activities and options for developing career paths leading to key SD positions.
