text: As a finalist for this award Santos 
  was recognised for its leadership 
  role in bringing together a group 
  of disparate parties to develop a 
  Memorandum of Understanding 
  recommending further protection 
  for the Coongie Lakes. 
  
  Santos’ Greenhouse Policy is 
  being rolled out across the 
  organisation through cross- 
  functional greenhouse gas teams 
  that have the right skill sets and 
  responsibilities to progress this 
  initiative. These teams will 
  manage Greenhouse Policy and 
  regulation, carbon management 
  and trading opportunities, and 
  energy efficiency. A key internal 
  driver for emissions reduction 
  will be the promotion of energy 
  efficiency. 
  
  **Santos is investing in the future of Australia’s petroleum industry**
  **through the funding of the Australian School of Petroleum at the**
  **University of Adelaide.**
  
  **WASTE MANAGEMENT**
  Santos trialled innovative waste 
  management techniques during 
  2004 to reduce the volume of 
  hydrocarbon waste generated 
  from Cooper Basin operations. 
  Preliminary results indicate that 
  these waste volumes can be 
  reduced to 3-5% of their original 
  volume, which is a significant 
  achievement. 
  
  Santos is committed to achieving 
  effective emission reduction 
  targets, to the pursuit of energy 
  efficiency strategies and to the 
  identification and implementation 
  This technology will be 
  implemented where possible
