Honouring the Past and Inspiring the Future: Suncor Celebrates Black History Month

Together, we honour the past and inspire the future-this is the theme for the Suncor Black History Month celebration and the sentiment we will carry into the year and beyond

"Understanding the context of the history of the Black community, built on a foundation of struggles, achievements and perseverance, allows for a future of deeper understanding on the challenges we face today in this industry, Canada and the world," says Stephen Muinda, co-chair for Mosaic."

We honour the past

Over the past two years, Mosaic, Suncor's Black employee network, has celebrated its official launch and facilitated tough but necessary conversations to help surface and acknowledge how one's background, personal experiences and societal stereotypes, can help address individual unconscious bias.

Mosaic strives to support its members as they continue to navigate a difficult history of injustice while simultaneously celebrating their achievements and contributions and looking to the future. They've also doubled down on their mentorship program. "Anyone can benefit from a mentor despite their age, gender or race," says Stephen. "There's always room to build your skills, and this mentorship program provides development opportunities for network members as we all work towards removing barriers and bias. It will help us navigate our careers when new opportunities arise."

The mentorship program, launched in February 2021, has created more opportunity for professional development and enhances how Suncor's Black employees experience their career progression, all while enabling the creation of a more inclusive workplace.

"What impressed me the most about the program was the mentor-to-mentor relationship that developed," says Andrew Boutilier, Director, Maintenance - Support Services and a mentor for the program. "At certain points along the way you realize that the roles have reversed - now you're the one learning new skills, focusing on listening to understand and coming out of it with a completely different perspective."

We inspire the future

Suncor's inclusion and diversity journey remains integral to improving engagement, reducing turnover, increasing profitability and promoting psychological safety.

Mosaic and Suncor's seven other employee inclusion networks are resources for members and allies to learn and grow, and for our leaders to create safe spaces for their teams to thrive. Mosaic continues to focus on collaborating with other networks and external employee resource groups, such as Blacks at Microsoft and Calgary Black Chambers, and expanding our identity to be a resource group for Black employees and People of Colour.

"I'm really proud of how Mosaic has been able to amplify the voices of the Black community and accentuate opportunities for its members. Employee networks help us recognize the benefits diversity can bring and expose blind spots.", says Dennis Banks, Senior Vice President Operations Services and executive sponsor of Mosaic. "Suncor's participation and support of Black History Month honours the legacy, accomplishments and struggles of Black people and contributes to a more inclusive future."

Jupiter Energy's Innovative Gas Utilisation Solution in Kazakhstan: A Model for Gas Flaring Compliance

With Kazakhstan’s continued focus on tight environmental regulations in the oil and gas sector, smaller and mid-tier players are often faced with needing to address the high price tag that comes with compliance, before being able to enter into full commercial production. One junior oil and gas company in the region, however, has demonstrated that multi stakeholder collaboration can provide the key to achieving not only compliance, but significant economic and social benefits.

Jupiter Energy (ASX:JPR), an ASX-listed junior oil exploration and production company, with fully licensed oil fields in the prolific Mangistau Basin of Kazakhstan, has successfully built the connections — literally and figuratively — that has paved the way for achieving successful commercial oil production, meeting all the tight Kazakh regulatory standards and also building relationships and infrastructure that will benefit a range of local communities in the Mangistau Oblast.

Investors evaluating Kazakhstan’s oil and gas opportunities would benefit from a deeper understanding of the country’s regulations as well as private sector success stories that demonstrate compelling investment cases.

Alvopetro Key Player in Brazil’s Emerging Open Gas Market, CEO Corey Ruttan Says

Alvopetro Energy (TSXV:ALV,OTCQX:ALVOF) President and CEO Corey Ruttan has expressed confidence that his company is poised to become a key player in Brazil’s emerging open gas market.

“(Alvopetro) has been operating in Brazil’s state of Bahia before the Brazilian government implemented its new gas market reform program,” Ruttan told the Investing News Network. The company then became the first independent company in Brazil to deliver sales-specified natural gas into the local distribution network.

To date, Alvopetro’s production accounts for roughly 13 percent of the natural gas produced in Bahia, and with investments already made in its gas production infrastructure and pipelines, any new natural gas discoveries moving forward can be quickly converted into production and cashflow, the executive stressed.
