Respect, Responsibility and Relationships
The corporate and social responsibility strategy is based on our core values of respect, relationships and responsibility. These are at the heart of all we do in the conduct of our business. Only in this way and through responsible business practices will we ensure a sustainable business.
Maintaining the safety of all our employees and others who work with us and minimising our impact on and protecting the environment are of prime importance.
Our aim is to work with communities wherever we operate.

The Corporate Responsibility Report 2009 is the tenth external review of our corporate responsibility performance, which aims to demonstrate to our stakeholders our commitment towards managing the potential impacts of our activities on the societies and the environment in which we operate.

Priorities
The complexity and scale of the oil and gas business raises issues for corporate responsibility at local, national and international level. At Cairn we believe that the starting point is to listen to those who are impacted by our activities. We have put a significant emphasis on ensuring the effectiveness of our stakeholder engagement, through recent projects in South Asia and particularly in Rajasthan, with excellent results. This will be an important platform as we move forward with exploration in Greenland and potentially Nepal. Our activities are of importance to the social and economic environment of the local and regional communities in which we operate.
