Sidebar: About Corri Feige’s column

Petroleum News

Former Alaska Department of Natural Resources Commissioner Corri Feige is writing a series of columns for Petroleum News titled “ESG in Alaska’s DNA.”

This is the second column,

They will cover: 1) educating on ESG broadly; 2) looking at how ESG in Alaska is tied to our constitution, regulatory framework and gives back to Alaskans in a variety of ways (it’s in our DNA!). From there moving on to the changes and controversy we have seen around ESG investing strategies in recent months and how those very same investing strategies have been a barrier to projects and companies in Alaska finding capital.

Then finally, 3) looking at where ESG may be going in the next couple of years. This one will be the most “crystal ball gazing” of all of them but Feige can likely link it to not only oil and gas development but also to CCS, critical minerals production and energy transition broadly. It’s all intertwined.
