#QualityMatters EP 135 – SMALL BIZ DOMINATES OIL & GAS – WITH MARK LACOUR OF OGGN

We’re back! We apologize for the pause in new episodes for #QualityMatters, but we’re back!

The role of newly evolving ESG “Environmental – Social – Governance” requirements is placing additional requirements on small business. But this is not all bad news.
