BP And SHELL Case Study

CSR is recognizing whether corporate behavior has responsibility on the social and environmental. The global oil companies are sparing no effort to promote the concept of social and environmental responsibility and action taken. With the improvement of the quality of life, the air quality is becoming more and more concerned by people. For example, in China, in addition to monitoring data and indicators are a reminder that environmental protection is imperative, the frequent visits of haze weather also make people intuitively feel the air pollution. Moreover, Fahad Al-Attiya said oil and gas, sunshine, wind and money is the abundant power that a country needs, but missing water is unbelievable. Both BP and SHELL conduct similar towards CSR that

BP said, “Not only contribute to oil,” and the former chief executive officer of Shell Companies said “really different from competitors”. This essay will compare BP and SHELL with two criteria in the usage of water and air pollution.
Fresh water is important for human life, and both BP and SHELL take measures to reduce the usage of water. Although BP uses fresh water in some fields, they also use much non-fresh water in some important fields such as seawater treatment. BP just use about 1% of global freshwater to explore, produce and refine oil and gas. Moreover, most water will be returned to the local water basin. BP also accesses different technology to the application amount of water and effluent treatment. For instance, it has valuated different access for reducing the usage of fresh water in purified terephthalic acid (PTA) operations, which contain wastewater recycling and seawater cooling. Through these ways, the usage of water in 2016 decreased by 20% compared to 2015. However, as for SHELL, tailoring use of fresh water to local conditions. Also, it is available for SHELL to treat the polluted water and recycle water, which

In fact, it is unavoidable for oil companies to influence the air quality when they exploit the oil and gas. However, both BP and SHELL make efforts in the respect. Shell has put $25 million into the air emissions control and invest over 1$ billion in the production of lower sulphur fuels. In the early 1990s, SHELL made tremendous progress in producing diesel oil which containing sulphur is extraordinarily low. In addition, SHELL obtained the ratification which means its behavior is pretty in air quality. Furthermore, the ratification supervises the SHELL’s operation process, so Rick Albright said “this permit ensures that exploration and drilling will occur in a way that protects air quality”. With the economic consequences being affected by the climate change, trying to capture and store the carbon is in progress by the oil and gas sector and SHELL shows support for this project and wishes to implement it on a large scale. More importantly, SHELL is expected to cut the costs and improve the efficiency through the project. Similarly, SHELL also actively cooperate with other organizations. For example, Shell partnering with Chevron not only finishes a project which aims to trap three or four million tons carbon dioxide which issues from nature, but also story up it deep underground. On the other hand, the saltwater will be returned by the urge of storied carbon dioxide. BP also admit that their some
