Communities & Sustainable Development
Proactive engagement is pivotal to the success of all our operations. At GPDC, we understand that our operations do not happen in a vacuum and that it is our responsibility to ensure peaceful co-existence with all our communities and an enabling environment for our activities.
We see our communities as partners, and work closely with local, state and federal government agencies NGOs and development institutions in the areas of infrastructure development, skills acquisition, economic empowerment and capacity building
Environmental Management & Climate Change
GPDC is committed to minimising any detrimental environmental impacts arising from its operations. As part of our strategy to contribute to Nigeria's growing energy needs we take a proactive stance in the management of our natural resources.
To achieve this, we ensure complete compliance with all international and national environmental regulatory requirements across all our operations and those of our partners. We also ensure our activities reflect best practice standards and infuse energy efficient technologies which ultimately reduce our environmental footprint.
International and local legislative frameworks support the reduction of CO2 emissions as a mitigative measure for combating climate change. GPDC is doing its part to ensure that Nigeria's energy future is sustainable without compromising on the needs of future generations. We work closely with Government to structure climate change policy which reflects these requirements and promote less energy intensive energy solutions in our operation
