About the Event:
The International Health, Safety, Environment and Sustainability Conference and Exhibition (IHSES) is one of the energy industry’s premier global events highlighting best practices and challenges and it is organized by the Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE).
This year’s theme, HSE, and Sustainability Excellence: Empowerment through Leadership, Diversity, and Innovation, reflects the current landscape of the evolving industry and future solutions, where the role of new technologies, innovations, and Artificial Intelligence (AI) implementations will be showcased as valuable tools to enhance HSE performance and prepare industries for fundamental shifts. The conference will also address climate change and how to drive sustainable development as well as environmental and social performance to create long-term value for people, businesses, and societies around the world.
ERM at the event:
ERM will be speaking during the Panel Session 9: Environment: Biodiversity on Thursday 12 September at 13:30 local time.
The discussion will be placed within the context of the contemporary development of nature frameworks such as The Biodiversity Plan (also known as the Kunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework—GBF) and reporting and disclosure programmes such as Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD). Panellists will discuss the significance, and application of these and other developments to our industry, present case studies, and consider whether existing and legacy biodiversity programs are fit-for- purpose now, and in the foreseeable future.
