The organization has taken upon itself many responsibilities for a safer and cleaner environment. Amongst its many activities, Recso holds a number of specialized trainings, seminars and workshops that promotes best oil practices. We are also taking a much more aggressive approach in trying to educate the general public about the importance of the environment and sustainable development. Our dependence on the gulf waters and shores for domestic use, to name a few; drinking water, sea food, as well as urban development, hotel and tourism business and many other activities reinforces the important role that Recso has to play in helping and assuring the region's growth in all fields.

We champion new technologies and renewables as part of our future vision and we will continue to effectively project our members' strong support and commitment for energy and environment.

Recso has opened up its membership to other sectors as well and it is not limited to just oil companies anymore. Amongst our members now are oil and gas companies (Offshore and Onshore), tanker companies, sea ports and environmental organizations.

Recso is a non-profit organization with the genuine objective to accomplish a 'cleaner and safer environment'.
