Aral shares in the global challenge to address climate change by utilizing technologies and innovation to achieve a low-carbon energy system across all of the Aral Group. Environmental stewardship is embedded into the planning and execution of every job and process, from exploration through construction and operation to the closure of our sites through reclamation and decommissioning. Our approach to water balances optimized  use practices with technological innovation to sustainably manage water usage. Aral follows all water management regulations and focuses on innovative solutions to responsibly reuse, reduce and recycle as much water as is economically feasible.

In addition to continuously strengthening relationships and educating communities,  we strive to innovate towards low/zero carbon forms of energy that are both affordable and accessible to all.  Aral's outreach goals reflects our commitment to change the way we think and act as an organization in building greater trust and respect within all demographics. Per Aral’s Guiding Principles, we will supply energy to the world as environmentally and as socially responsibly as possible.
