The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Committee is responsible for managing all Tullow’s community sponsorship support programmes and considers any matters relating to social, charitable, community and educational issues, CSR publications and CSR expenditure. Tullow’s CSR strategy aligns CSR investment with key areas and countries for business development. Tullow’s CSR funding is a combination of sponsorships under licence commitments and discretionary spending. Criteria for funding projects concentrate on children, education and, where appropriate, fulfilling basic needs, such as clean water. Projects considered will be mainly recurring, long-term investments where there is established production, an operated activity and/or a key country for development. One-off investment will also be considered as appropriate in the context of Tullow’s business. Overall, Tullow’s objective is to make a tangible, positive difference and to foster and support longer-term development and self-sustaining enterprise in local communities.

The main responsibilities of the Committee are:

• Manage the process for submission, assessment and approval of CSR expenditure undertaken by Tullow Group-wide;
• Consider and propose an annual budget for CSR activities to the Board for approval as part of the overall Group budget process;
• Evolve and further develop Tullow’s social and ethical policies as part of the overall risk management framework of the business;
• Prepare the CSR Report annually;
• Review the internal CSR programme, ensuring co-ordination between internal and external activitiesand ensuring that the internal CSR function is adequately resourced and has appropriate standing within the Group; and
• Consider other CSR matters as specified by the Board.
