Chris Walker (ExxonMobil), newly appointed Chair of IOGP Europe’s Communications Subcommittee

“The oil and gas industry plays a vital role in ensuring energy security, economic resilience and innovation for a lower-carbon future. I’m focused on helping ensure these contributions are understood and reflected in EU policy” shared Chris Walker.

As the EU embarks on a new political cycle with a strong focus on industrial resilience, energy security, and climate ambition, clear and consistent communication from our sector is more important than ever.

The Communications Subcommittee plays a key role in shaping how we engage with Europe’s institutions and public audiences.
We’re delighted to have Chris take on this leadership role and help steer the committee’s priorities alongside IOGP Europe and its members.
