A world-first, international workshop on workplace challenges and discrimination in the oil and gas industry was held in Aberdeen last week. Organised by SPE Aberdeen in co-operation with SPE Europe and Sub-Saharan Africa, the participants of the event publicly requested that SPE take a stronger role with regard to the guidelines and practices applied at SPE’s international events and to no longer allow the presence of scantily clad women as ‘poster girls’.

SPE has also been publicly requested to act as a platform of collaboration and alignment for the industry with regard to its current policies, standards and practices related to non-discrimination.
