Corporate Responsibility
We believe access to affordable, reliable energy sources results in growth, innovation and prosperity. Reliable energy provides for a more secure future for everyone, and Empire Petroleum is proud to play its part in safely developing the United States’ critical inventory of energy supply. Eliminating global energy poverty and ensuring national energy security are fundamental needs that are as important as ever.
We are committed to creating long-term value for our stockholders and fostering a culture that is steadfast on environmental sustainability, operational safety, social responsibility, and sound corporate governance. In all areas of our business, we strive to foster a culture of shared accountability in which employees work towards common goals and are responsible for our collective results. We view this approach as critical to the long-term success of our business and appreciate the continued support of our stakeholders in our efforts.
We recognize that the investment community and other stakeholders expect increased transparency as it relates to the disclosure of our environmental, social and governance {“ESG”) matters. As such, we are committed to the development and publication of a detailed report that discusses our current and future ESG efforts and provides reference to leading ESG reporting frameworks, which will result in additional clarity and comparability to our peers.
Environmental
Good corporate citizenship is a key part of our cultural identity, which includes being positive stewards to the environment and the communities in which we operate. Our focus on minimizing our operational impact is multi-faceted, including seeking to reduce air emissions, prevent spills, and safeguard local water supplies, as well as utilizing advanced drilling, completion and operations technologies that minimize our environmental impact. Our ongoing programs are designed to not only reduce our operational impacts but also improve efficiency, lower costs and reduce risk. This further promotes the long-term sustainability of our business as we continue to enhance our relationships with the communities in which we operate.
Social
Our success starts with our people who consistently operate with the principles of honesty, integrity, and accountability, and unceasingly align our interests with our partners. Our employees are committed to the prudent growth of our organization and adhere to the values expected by our stakeholders. In accordance, we place strong emphasis on attracting, hiring, and developing a talented and diverse workforce, and endeavor to support our employees through market-competitive compensation and benefit programs. We treat our employees with respect and recognize that a diverse workforce provides the best opportunity to obtain unique perspectives, experiences and ideas to help our business succeed. As such, we strive to maintain a work culture that treats employees fairly and with respect, promotes inclusivity, and provides equal opportunities for professional growth and advancement based on merit. We also appreciate and invest in our local communities through targeted corporate initiatives designed to enhance quality-of-life and other considerations in the communities in which we operate.
Governance
Supported by the oversight and guidance of our executive management team, our Board of Directors is responsible for our strategy and governance. We leverage corporate governance practices that promote transparency and accountability as key tenants to our long-term success. We are committed to operating with sound corporate governance practices and hold ourselves accountable, including ensuring that all our business interactions are performed with honesty and integrity. We interact with all partners and parties with the highest legal and ethical standards. In support of our efforts, we have adopted fundamental governance policies applicable to our team members and others with whom we do business.
