Message from the Executive Chairperson
SPE Latin American and Caribbean Health,
Safety, Environment, and Sustainability Conference
Dear Colleagues,
Join us at the SPE Latin American and Caribbean Health, Safety,
Environment, and Sustainability Conference.
This conference will explore innovative technologies and their
effects on sustainability: balancing economic growth, social
development, and environmental protection.
Themed “Sharing Best HSE and Sustainability Practices for
Balancing Economic Growth, Social Development, and Environmental Protection,” the
event is designed to serve as a platform for sharing knowledge through technical sessions.
The format of the conference encourages open dialogue to maximize knowledge sharing.
The discussions will help identify areas where future technological innovations are
required to strengthen the vitally important social license to operate.
We look forward to your participation at this highly anticipated event.
Sincerely,
Andres Pavía

Brazil, and Colombia will share and discuss their
efforts to create a sustainable environment for

The interchange of ideas, tailored to a variety of

expectations of sustainable development within
the region.

place. The sector is, with no doubt, known by the
high demand of effective social responsibility that
can prevent or mitigate the long-term impacts

generating shared value for all involved parties,
and heightening the development of the territory.
