Social consultation is an integral part of JKX's approach to conducting business. We focus on sustainable development. Wherever we operate, every effort is made to liaise with Communities and promote improvements to enhance the quality of life whilst preserving traditional culture and values.
We provide skills transfer and financial support aimed to help develop ventures geared to local needs such as education and training, farming enterprises, tree nurseries, support for local hospitals and orphanages and other activities which may be sustained long after JKX leaves the area.
Environment
We are committed to employing environmentally responsible operating methods. We monitor greenhouse gas and other emissions in all areas of our activities. To prevent spills, we invest in techniques for the detection of pipeline corrosion. Installation inspections and compliance audits are performed regularly. We recognise that maintaining appropriate response capabilities can further reduce our impact on the environment. Each of our subsidiaries has implemented an Oil Spill Response Plan with dedicated personnel trained in emergency response and remediation. Strict adherence to our Environmental Policy fosters respect and care for the environment which we rely upon to expand our business activities.
We uphold strict standards to provide all permanent and contract personnel with a safe working environment. Our overall approach aims to:
- Identify and address security risks
- Heighten awareness through training
- Ensure crisis management preparedness
- Obtain external verification of the JKX Environmental Management System to OHSAS 14001 and to ensure industry best practice and legal compliance.

- Improve safety by raising employee awareness of corporate policy and host country regulations
- Lead to acceptance of individual responsibility and accountability for HSEC performance
- Promote a healthy lifestyle amongst all its employees
