Abstract

The objective of the research is to identify the best sustainability practices most used in companies in the oil and gas sector to reduce the environmental damages of their activities, in order to take them into account in Mexico. The research is documentary, in which the leading companies in the oil and gas sector were considered as subjects of study based on their environmental performance and the development of substantive activities. The results presented are the best sustainability practices and the environmental impacts derived from the central activities of the oil and gas sector, as well as the mechanisms for implementing best sustainable practices in the case of Mexico. There is evidence that companies in the sector invest in sustainability practices to improve their environmental performance, while continuing to obtain economic benefits, in the direction of low carbon economies, however, it is necessary to give greater impetus to renewable energy sources that have taken relevance in recent decades.
