In 2012, we continued to operate in ways that balance economic, environmental and social considerations in a responsible way. We maintained our strong investment in projects that will deliver energy resources for decades to come. We worked to maintain improvements in our safety record. We also continued to work to reduce our impact on the environment, to respond transparently to the views of our neighbours and to generate jobs and business opportunities for local economies.
