OUR GREAT MINDS

    Sustainability is the New Safety

    What if we took on sustainability in our energy resources in the same way that we have taken on safety? What do you think that would make available for our future?

    We’ve become so good at safety that it’s our top priority above all. Congratulations everyone, we’ve got our priorities straight; that’s for sure! And as life ushers us onward to progress, the next big wave of change that will set the foundation for our future, after safety—is sustainability. Sustainability is not a singular concept and nor is safety. Sustainability means looking around the landscape of your work lives and identifying if the products, processes, and people are providing sustainable outcomes for the future. It might mean lowering carbon emissions. It might mean going green. It might mean a new innovation. It might mean a new energy mix. It might mean changing the culture of our organizations to serve a sustainable mission.

    Here at The OGM, our goal is to “Unite energy nations of the world to create a sustainable new-energy future.” We understand that the definition of sustainability is different for everyone. What sustainability in your organization means for you can be different from another’s view, but that’s the beauty of it all. Regardless of the role you play at work, you have a
    distinct sustainable advantage to see the way forward.

    Imagine a world where everyone focuses on sustainability as a resource in and of itself—a place where we guarantee the future for our people today and our kids tomorrow. It’s not the energy resources that will effectively move us into the future; it’s the way we “think” about energy resources—the sustainable way.

    Tina Olivero

    30 years ago, Tina Olivero looked into the future and saw an opportunity to make a difference for her province and people. That difference came in the form of the oil and gas sector. Six years before there was even a drop of oil brought to the shores of Newfoundland, she founded The Oil and Gas Magazine (THE OGM) from a back room in her home on Signal Hill Road, in St. John’s, Newfoundland. A single mother, no financing, no previous journalism or oil and gas experience, she forged ahead, with a creative vision and one heck of a heaping dose of sheer determination. With her pioneering spirit, Ms. Olivero developed a magazine that would educate, inspire, motivate and entertain oil and gas readers around the world — She prides herself in marketing and promoting our province and resources in unprecedented ways. The OGM is a magazine that focuses on our projects, our people, our opportunities and ultimately becomes the bridge to new energy outcomes and a sustainable new energy world. Now diversifying into the communications realms, a natural progression from the Magazine, The OGM now offers an entirely new division - Oil & Gas Media. Today, The Oil and Gas Magazine is a global phenomenon that operates not only in Newfoundland, but also in Calgary and is read by oil and gas enthusiasts in Norway, Aberdeen, across the US and as far reaching as Abu Dhabi, in the Middle East. Believing that Energy is everyone’s business, Ms. Olivero has combined energy + culture to embrace the worlds commitment to a balance of work and home life as well as fostering a foundation for health and well being. In this era of growth and development business and lifestyle are an eloquent mix, there is no beginning or end. Partnering with over 90 oil and gas exhibitions and conferences around the world, Ms. Olivero's role as a Global Visionary is to embrace communication in a way that fosters oil and gas business and industry growth in new and creative ways.
