Companies with Largest Reserves Have Poorest Governance<\/strong><\/p>\n

MADRID, Spain – Feb. 21 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Petrobras is the world’s most sustainable oil\/gas company according to the 5th annual oil\/gas ranking by the sustainability research and rating firm Management & Excellence (M&E, Madrid & Sao Paulo).<\/p>\n

\"M&E\"The M&E ranking, marketed with Oil&Gas Journal Online, measures oil\/gas companies’ compliance with 387 accepted international standards in sustainability, corporate governance, social responsibility, ethics and transparency. The guidelines are taken from institutions such as SEC, Sarbanes-Oxley, national laws, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, OECD, industry benchmarks, GRI, ILO, ISO, EITI, reserves accounting, Global Compact, Millennium Goals, and others. The annual study is considered the most detailed benchmark on sustainability in the industry.<\/p>\n

Petrobras, once known for sinking oil rigs and strikes, was re-elected to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, an indicator where StatoilHydro holds the industry record of 79 points. Petrobras’ Board consists of all independent directors, except the CEO. The Brazilian company’s “Zero Hunger Program” entered into 18,000 partnerships helping nearly 11 million people over the past four years. BP rebounded following the 2005 explosion in its Texas City complex, oil spills in Alaska and the resignation of its former CEO Lord Browne, investing $1.7 billion in its U.S. operations for “integrity and reliability.”<\/p>\n

Companies with the poorest governance and sustainability practices generally controlled the largest oil\/gas reserves. The three state corporations PDVSA, Saudi Aramco and Abu Dhabi NOC in part scored zero in governance but together control 430 billion barrels of oil, compared with ConocoPhilips’ 9,4 billion or ExxonMobil’s 22.7 billion.<\/p>\n
