“ New Zealand has good programs in place for safety but we take it a step further with our safety culture ,” said Pierce . “ We ’ re very good on that end and we ’ re always working to improve . It ’ s our number one priority .”
Technology also plays a critical role in efficiency and safety . “ We ’ re always looking for new ways to improve both safety and efficiency , and we ’ re quick to adopt proven technologies .”
One component of having the right people in place is meshing with the culture and community of TAG ’ s host country of New Zealand . The oil and gas producer strives to play an active but respectful role . “ We ’ re a guest in New Zealand and it ’ s very important to us that we respect that and give back to our community ,” said Pierce .
The company ’ s grassroots approach to community relations involve sponsoring activities that support safer and healthier communities , enhance the productivity in natural resources , and promote local education opportunities .
“ We sponsor students to get actively engaged in science through field trips , educational programs and a scholarship . We also sponsor outdoor activities including swim meets and lifesaving , an annual kids ’ athletic competition , a golf club , and the local rugby team ,” said Pierce . “ It ’ s important to us to be part of the community , and these are things we really care about .”
The right pieces are in place , and TAG Oil thinks it ’ s their time to shine .
