At Guyana Suriname Consulting Group (GSCG) we believe that a functional organization helps foster the long-term development of specialist expertise and reinforces accountability for risk management. Our approach to Safety and Operational Risk Organization allows us to have an independent view of operational risk. Our team of specialists are accountable for the overall risk management process. We have the deep technical expertise needed to verify plans and results. We can, when necessary, intervene on our client's behalf in operations.
Our performance and reward system reflects the fact that all personnel at GSCG – regardless of their actual job function – have a responsibility for safe operations. We have further enhanced our leadership capabilities to ensure our clients fully benefit from site inspections and formal audits consistent with best industry practices. Our executive leadership team and many of our technical consultants are armed with an appreciation of the key barriers that they discussed in the course of the annual risk review process. They can then observe our client's team’s awareness and understanding of barrier integrity at the operating site in a more systematic way. These fundamental changes were put in place to assure a deep, standardized, and verifiable approach to reducing risk across our global clientele operations.
So we are focusing with exceptional intensity on the barriers that stand between us and the risk we are managing on behalf of our clients. Not only the physical and the human barriers, but systems that sustain those barriers.
GSCG Continues to focus and support our global clients in the following primary areas:
Leadership Training / Continual development and Lifelong learning are key for individuals and organizations to adapt and succeed in the global markets and societies shaped by longer life expectancy, rapid technological advances, globalization, and demographic change, as well as sudden shocks such as the COVID-19 pandemic. It encompasses formal learning in settings such as educational institutions and training centers and facilities. It’s one of the key pillars to an organization's sustainability.
Well-functioning energy markets are critical to the distribution of energy resources. Understanding how they work, how they can be improved, and how they are being impacted by the changes afoot in the energy sector is key to meeting energy and environmental goals.
Energy security has long been a central objective of energy policy, yet remains poorly understood and defined. Assessing energy security risks, and how they are evolving, is key for both the public and private sector.
Energy has long been intimately tied to global geopolitics, power and foreign policies. The rapid pace of change in the energy sector is creating new sources of uncertainty and risk that require careful study and understanding.
Oil is the world’s most actively traded commodity, but forecasts vary as to whether it will start to wane in the decades to come. Understanding the changes that are sweeping through the oil industry and market today are key to understanding the outlook for economic growth, climate change, and geopolitical conflict.
Aging infrastructure, distributed generation, storage and new consumer technologies are precipitating reconfiguration of the power sector.
The rise of renewable energy resources is upending traditional energy markets, trade flows and presents a new set of challenges for policymakers, as well as new opportunities to address the challenge of climate change around the world.
Technological innovation has the potential to disrupt energy markets and influence energy policy around the world. It also plays an important role to improve access to energy sources in developing nations and to meet global environment goals.
The global gas market is undergoing a period of profound transformation as a result of new sources of supply, demand, changing trade patterns, and technological and policy shifts. The transition to a low-carbon economy and efforts to curb air pollution are also key policy aims that will impact the role of gas in the future energy mix.
Although it is a source of essentially carbon-free power, nuclear energy remains one of the most divisive components of the world’s primary energy mix. Its future rests largely on questions of cost, safety, waste management and proliferation-resistant technology.
Climate change is one of the central challenges of the 21st century. Building and linking the policies, technologies, financial systems and markets needed to achieve climate goals is key to addressing this challenge. Learn more about what we're doing to tackle the climate crisis.
