Sustainability and TransGlobe

TransGlobe Energy Corporation plans and executes its business activities with a strong sense of responsibility, and this has been reflected in a demonstrable track record of performance in Heath, Safety, Environment and Social Responsibility (“HSES”).

While historically an integral part of its business, we recognize the value to transparently report to our investors the Company’s performance in these areas. In 2020, TransGlobe moved towards a Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”) compliant framework of reporting its sustainability and Environmental, Social, and Governance (“ESG”) performance.

Our Annual SASB sustainability reports, as they are published, can now be accessed in the link below.

TransGlobe is committed to maintaining a healthy and safe working environment for all employees, business partners, visitors and the communities in which it operates and supports a sustainable approach to the environment in all its activities. It is our goal to achieve an injury and accident-free workplace. As such, all levels of management are responsible for providing and maintaining a safe workplace with proper procedures, training and equipment to ensure that work activities are performed in compliance with the Company’s policies, accepted industry standards, and applicable government regulations.

Recent Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Projects

TransGlobe Energy provides support to the communities in which we operate, both directly to those communities, and, indirectly, through working with national CSR bodies that concentrate and focus industry social investment where it is most needed. Some of our more recent CSR projects have include these three in Canada and Egypt.


Delivering TransGlobe Covid-19 Relief Packages in Egypt

In Alberta, Canada, local to our area of operations, the Company was the Platinum Sponsor of the Cremona School hosting the 10 team provincial ACAA 1A Girls Basketball Championships.

In Egypt, the Company, through our participation in an industry CSR committee, has supported two recent projects: the purchase and delivery of Covid relief packages and the purchase of 50 new houses for families affected by the floods in Khor Awada village in Aswan. The first phase of the housing project is now complete. Each house was provided with electric equipment and furniture, in addition to a goat breeding project to ensure sustainable income for these families. The CSR committee that TransGlobe Energy supports is focused on a number of further initiatives, including decent life, educational programs and women empowering programs.
