The Social Responsibility (SR) Global Village
The Social Responsibility Global Village will be incorporated in the accompanying exhibitions of the 19th World Petroleum Congress which will take place in Madrid from the 29th of June – 3rd of July 2008. Presented by social responsibility partners of the oil & gas industry, this interactive exhibit is aimed at increasing awareness of key initiatives, regional and international, and will highlight projects developed jointly between NGOs and the oil & gas industry that advance sustainability, human rights and cooperation to the benefit of society.
Advancing human rights and a celebration of the 60th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights in 2008 will be one of several featured topics in the Global Village showcase. Sustainable development, stakeholder engagement, community involvement, and societal expectations are a few examples of other topic areas envisioned for the Global Village.
At the centre of the Global Village will be a well spring of knowledge and a fair trade refreshment centre. Daily offerings will include: distinguished guests, music, art, literature, hands-on activities and opportunities to learn first hand from NGO and industry partner initiatives worldwide.
