Managing Environmental Risks
UNOC recognizes that petroleum operations can have significant environmental impacts. We are committed to managing these impacts through rigorous environmental management systems and best practices.
All our projects undergo comprehensive Environmental Impact Assessments (EIAs) before commencement, ensuring that potential environmental risks are identified and mitigated.
We work closely with the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) and other regulatory bodies to ensure full compliance with Uganda's environmental laws and international standards.
