Joint Oil is responsible for the continuous improvement of our HSSE & SP performance. Together, we aim to pursue the goal of no harm to people, to protect the environment, respect our neighbors and contribute to the sustainable development of societies in which we operate.
Our HSSE & SP commitments in this regard are outlined in the Joint Oil policy.
All who work for and with Joint Oil have the authority to stop any work they consider to be an imminent threat to life, health, property or the environment, or that violates legal requirements, or which presents potential negative social impact.
The HSSE & SP policy is implemented through an HSSE management framework, which includes our Operating Risk Management System (ORMS), supporting operating practices, HSE standards and local HSSE Management Systems.
To implement such a policy and concurrent with Joint Oil seek for an Operator to its tract of the Zarat Discovery, Joint Oil has opened an HSE Manager as a new post.

CLIMATE CHANGE AND THE ENERGY TRANSITION
Joint Oil recognizes the challenges posed by climate change and we support the goals of the Paris Agreement to limit the rise in global temperature. We acknowledge the significance of carbon reduction as natural gas becomes a vital component of the energy mix, replacing coal and liquid fuels, particularly in developing regions. We prioritize sustainability and embrace CO₂ gas sequestration in any Plan of Development to be submitted with the Operator. Joint Oil firmly believes that gas will play a crucial role in the energy transition and that sustainability and gas production are not mutually exclusive. Thus, we will help the growing demand for energy in Tunisia, by CO₂ gas sequestration POD with its partner and equally Owners ETAP and OLA. Our Energy Transition Strategy and Climate Action Plan is structured around the five themes of Measure; Reduce; Invest; Offset; Report & Disclose. We continue to pursue a number of initiatives to improve Greenhouse Gas (GHG) management, including various measures on measurement, leak detection and facility emission reductions. CO₂ gas sequestration, Joint Oil is committed to complying with its zero-routine flaring policy in keeping with the World initiative.
