Seminar Description

With changing and increasing stakeholder expectations companies are now faced with much more complex decisions driven by a broader set of values. Indeed, truly sustainable companies are those that simultaneously create financial, environmental, and social value instead of consistently making trade-offs after meeting shareholder interests.

This engaging workshop will provides context and history for how corporate sustainability is now part of mainstream business lexicon, is a core business driver, and how the decision making environment has changed as a result.

The workshop will then describe life-cycle value assessment (LCVA) - a powerful decision making tool used by major energy companies players such as Suncor, Petro-Canada, Shell, and ConocoPhillips for the purpose of making better decisions and improving project design. LCVA is applied for all levels of decision making such as strategy development, product or technology selection, facility location, process selection, and field operations. It can also be used as an important stakeholder engagement tool, including regulatory bodies.

An overview of LCVA will be provided, including its benefits, its application levels, and the associated tools and practices available for seamless and successful integration into existing corporate-wide decision making practices. The workshop will have the participants engage in a streamlined LCVA using examples from their work.
