SD & SR approach - Zallaf

Our Objectives

• To establish Zallaf’s overall SD/SR objective, which is, to create “positive presence and legacy in the communities and societies where we operate”.
• To engage with local communities during exploration, production and operation to seek feedback on effectiveness of mitigation measures and emerging issues and gain community acceptance.
• To support the delivery of our mandatory HSE/SD/SR/CSR requirements.
• To minimize our business negative impacts and maximize positive impacts sustainably.
• To meet international best practice standards to comply with the Libyan and international relevant laws.
• To carry out social responsibility (SR) activities throughout our business gates.
• To run and implement a successful corporate social responsibility (CSR) programme aligned with local community needs whilst managing community perceptions, expectations and meeting Zallaf 2018-2020 Strategy and Vision – leveraging our “Community Outreach Programme” (COP) and our NOC relationship and support.

Our Principles

• To maximize Benefits to Society (We aim to maximize our CSR returns in relation to the pursuit of our mission and vision).
• Independence (Our activities will always be consistent with achieving the mission of Zallaf).
• Leveraging the NOC resources to deliver maximum social value.
• Compliance with all laws/regulations applicable to us as a registered company.
• Sustainable Development (We commit to contribute to sustainable development and CSR to do this primarily through our main programs and activities.
• Integrity (We insist on honesty, integrity and fairness in all aspects of our activities).
• Health, Safety and the Environment (HSE) (We will not support any CSR activity by any partner and contractors that cannot demonstrate, as a minimum, compliance with relevant national and NOC’s (HSE) regulations and standards).
• Political Activity (We act in a socially responsible manner within the laws of Libya in which we operate in pursuit of our SR/CSR objectives “remain neutral”).
• Communication, Engagement and Assurance (We recognize regular dialogue and engagement with our stakeholders is essential to the development, implementation and ultimate success of our activities).

What makes us different?

• Application of our intended “technology and community-based” approach to developing these solutions.
• Applying market principles and “Business-DNA” – business thinking, models and disciplines – to work out how to tackle local development challenges and issues.
• Our model includes working with international/local partners, contractors and communities committing funds for corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities, and where appropriate, leveraging the value-creating resources – the knowledge, brand and infrastructure – of Zallaf.
