   The goal posts of corporate responsibility have shifted in the last decade or two. Business now enjoys reduced taxation, fewer trade barriers and economic liberalization. But there is a price to pay for these benefits; society is looking less to Government and instead is expecting business to be more accountable for the social and environmental impacts of its activities. This was evident at the recent World Summit for Sustainable Development in Johannesburg, South Africa.

   Eli Aamot: During our 30 years of existence we have had a strong focus on HSE – health, safety and environment. We have also engaged in climate issues for the last ten years. We support the Kyoto Protocol and have developed projects within the framework of Kyoto with a $10 million investment in the World Bank Prototype Carbon Fund. Because of Statoil's international expansion, we established some years ago a department which was to focus entirely on country analysis and corporate social responsibility, or CSR. CSR has been a core value since day one. So, too, has emphasis on business ethics and human rights. My position as Vice President for the Environment has existed for the past ten years.

   Eli Aamot has a Master of Science degree from the Norwegian University of Science and Technology in Trondheim. She joined Statoil in 1992 where she conducted health, safety and environment (HSE) research and development. Before becoming Director of Environment at Statoil, she held the position as HSE manager for the Åsgard licence.
   
   Where would you like to see Statoil in the future?
   
   Statoil's ambitious target is zero harm to the environment. This entails several dilemmas. Reducing discharges into the sea might increase emissions into the air; increased oil recovery may increase emissions into the air and discharges into the sea. Balancing environmental concerns with health and safety issues is not always straightforward.
