Corporate Social Responsibility

The dim image of the petroleum industry as a
polluter and exploiter and the nature of its
activities which deplete the precious natural
resources caused an increase of pressure on oil
companies. The pressure has driven oil companies to
justify their existence and document their
performance in order to continue operations within
society in their home countries. This in turn was
reflected in the increased amount of information in
petroleum companies annual reports about their
social and environmental performance. This book
discusses the international aspects of the petroleum
industry, the operations in different countries with
diversified social values and concerns, and their
influence on Multi-National Companies (MNCs)
Corporate Social Disclosure (CSD).
