Our Strategy: Engage, Prepare, Respond

At OSRL, our strategy is built around three core pillars—Engage, Prepare, and Respond—reflecting how we support the industry in building and maintaining effective oil spill readiness.

These pillars guide our actions across everything we do:

Through Engage, we build long-term, trust-based relationships with members, regulators, and industry stakeholders—promoting collaboration, aligning good practice, and supporting shared learning.

Through Prepare, we help organisations develop robust, risk-based strategies to meet evolving operational and regulatory demands—delivering training, exercises, and tailored preparedness solutions.

And through Respond, we provide global expertise, resources, and equipment to support members in responding quickly and effectively to incidents of any scale, anywhere in the world.

Together, these strategic pillars enable us to help members navigate industry change, address emerging risks, and continuously improve global spill response capability through shared experience and technical excellence.

Built for the industry, by the industry

OSRL operates as a member-owned, industry-funded cooperative—an approach that ensures our focus stays aligned with the organisations we serve. Our structure supports collaboration, transparency, and long-term investment in global spill preparedness and response. Learn how our business model underpins everything we do.
