“…The hegemony of CSR is visible in this section, where companies position the practices that are disorientated in cases where income from oil and gas rents and royalties have enriched local communities. Nevertheless, these communities have been duped into millions of dollars in elaborate royalty schemes (Ruddell 2017 ). The people in Delta state live in extreme poverty despite the vast material wealth found in the waters near their homes (Al Weswasi 2019 ).…”

“…Corruption in the upstream oil and gas industry thrives where external oversight of government operations is weak, such as in local or small districts. Although the income from rents and royalties have enriched local communities, they have been duped into millions of dollars in elaborate schemes (Ruddell 2017 ).

Sustainability reporting is very important for upstream oil and gas companies. The characteristics of industrial operations require direct involvement in environmental management, which causes better policies. Therefore, it is important to explain that these companies are motivated by ecological awareness or a specific purpose. This research conducts critical discourse analysis with a systematic literature review (SLR) approach of the last eleven years related to the sustainability reporting of the oil and gas industry. Various factors influence companies when implementing sustainability reporting, such as increasing credibility, maintaining reputation, transparency, and avoiding legal sanctions. The results showed several global upstream oil and gas companies still have the potential bias for sustainability reporting because they have not implemented the triple bottom line concept. This potential bias is related to irregularities and fraud in Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) practice. However, the organization as a ruling group can still carry out its mission of hegemony in the environment and the surrounding community. This research contributes academically and practically because it discusses various studies that used several methods, including surveys, case studies, experiments, and literature to form its conclusions.
