Environmental Stewardship: Our Path to Decarbonization

We recognize that our industry is at the center of the climate change challenge. Aurelian is committed to being part of the solution. Our environmental strategy is focused on tangible actions to reduce our operational footprint.

Our Decarbonization Strategy

Aurelian Oil & Gas has established a clear roadmap to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Our primary focus is on reducing our Scope  and Scope  emissions.

• Energy Efficiency: We are conducting massive energy efficiency audits at our refineries, pipeline compressor stations, and extraction sites. By upgrading to more efficient turbines, optimizing heat integration in our refineries, and electrifying field operations, we are significantly reducing our own energy consumption and, therefore, our emissions.

• Flaring and Venting Reduction: We have a zero routine flaring policy. We are investing in vapor recovery units  at our storage facilities and extraction sites to capture fugitive emissions and reroute them for use as fuel gas, turning a waste stream into a value stream.

• Renewable Integration: We are actively installing on-site solar generation at our facilities, such as our Warsaw headquarters and refinery operations, to power our own operations with clean energy, reducing our Scope emissions.

Social Responsibility: Our People and Our Communities

Our success is built on our people and our relationship with the communities we serve.

Health and Safety (H&S)

Our primary value is Safety First. There is no barrel of oil or cubic meter of gas worth a human life.

• Goal Zero: We operate on the belief that all incidents are preventable. Our Goal Zero culture is reinforced daily through safety briefings, training, and management walk-throughs.

• Process Safety Management (PSM): In our high-hazard facilities like refineries and chemical plants, we implement rigorous PSM to ensure the integrity of our equipment, processes, and procedures, preventing leaks, spills, and catastrophic events.

• Contractor Safety: We hold our partners and contractors to the exact same high safety standards as our own employees, ensuring safety excellence across our entire value chain.

Our People and Culture

We strive to be an employer of choice. From our Warsaw head office to our field operations, we are building a culture of respect, inclusion, and development.

• Diversity and Inclusion (D&I): We believe a diverse workforce drives innovation. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all employees feel valued and have the opportunity to succeed, regardless of gender, background, or belief.

• Employee Development: We invest heavily in our workforce through continuous training, leadership programs, and tuition support. We are committed to building the next generation of Polish energy experts.

Community Engagement

We are a neighbor first. Our operations are part of the fabric of local communities, and we are committed to being a positive force.

• Stakeholder Dialogue: We maintain an open, transparent, and continuous dialogue with local communities, municipalities, and leaders near our operations. We listen to their concerns and work collaboratively to address them.

• Social Investment: The Aurelian Foundation (fictional) invests in local community projects focused on education (STEM programs, university partnerships), local infrastructure (roads, community centers), and environmental protection local park restoration, clean-up initiatives.

Governance and Ethics: Our Foundation of Trust

Strong, transparent, and ethical governance is the bedrock of our sustainability commitment.

Board-Level Oversight

Our Board of Directors has ultimate oversight of our ESG strategy and performance. The [Sustainability & Ethics Committee] of the Board meets quarterly to review our progress against our targets and ensure that sustainability is integrated into our long-term corporate strategy.

Business Ethics and Compliance

Aurelian operates with zero tolerance for corruption, bribery, or unethical behavior. Our comprehensive Code of Conduct is a condition of employment for every single employee. We maintain an anonymous, third-party whistleblowing hotline to empower employees to speak up without fear of retaliation. We adhere strictly to all Polish and EU laws and regulations, including those governing environmental protection, market competition, and labor practices.

Transparent Reporting

We believe in accountability. Aurelian is committed to publishing an annual, comprehensive Sustainability Report. This report, aligned with global standards such as the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), will provide detailed, verified data on our performance across all key environmental, social, and governance metrics.

Our journey is one of continuous improvement. We are proud of our role in powering Poland and are resolutely focused on doing so in a way that is safer, cleaner, and more responsible every year.
