In this episode, Kaitlyn Allen talks with Jennifer Guidry, Vice President, Global

Health, Safety and Environment (HSE) and Environmental Social Governance (ESG)

for Precision Drilling, a company known to deliver high performance, high value

products and services to its customers in the oil and gas industry. With 25 years of

global experience leading change in the upstream oil and gas, heavy construction,

and environmental remediation, Jennifer is known for creating industry leading

strategies that drive culture change in organizations.

Listen as Kaitlyn and Jennifer discuss the evolution of HSE and its connection to

ESG.  HSE tends to be more compliance-driven; while ESG is more strategic.  They

share their insights as to how perspectives related to energy transition have shifted

in the oil and gas sector. Jennifer also provides updates related to opportunities in

oil field services (OFS) to reduce emissions and source alternate forms of energy to

power rigs, sharing concrete examples from Precision Drilling’s journey.

Much of Jennifer’s niche expertise centers in her authentic ability to bring to life the

‘S’ in ESG.  She speaks to the value of ESG programs in a way that motivates

leaders and employees to focus on long-term solutions.  She is a champion for

Diversity & Inclusion (D&I), which she cites as a game changer for businesses

seeking to drive innovation, with diversity of thought serving as the fuel. Moreover,

she reflects on her own leadership journey, sharing that the key to success as a

business leader--and in life--is to treat others with “humanity and grace.”

As you listen to Kaitlyn and Jennifer, they sound like long-time friends chatting over

coffee.  (Listen for Jennifer’s story about the sticky note left on her car!)  Their

shared passion for ESG and travel has been a point of common interest for both

through the years. There is a lot that will inform and inspire you in this episode.
