When it came to Suncor’s safety record, former CEO Mark Little said the buck stopped with him. He resigned a day after a Suncor worker died on July 7
chief executive Mark Little made it very clear earlier this year that the buck stopped with him when it came to the company’s safety record.
His successor will inherit one of Canada’s largest fossil-fuel producers. But it’s also a company that, since 2014, has reported 12 deaths at its sites – more than all of its oil-sands rivals combined. “You can’t have somebody who comes in and doesn’t understand the oil sands, the politics, the regulatory environment. That’s absolutely critical,” she told The Globe and Mail.“Having fatalities is something you just can’t tolerate,” she said.
“He was well-liked in the company,” she said. “He was seen as someone who cared, was forward-looking, really smart and tried to balance everything – whether it was the company, strategy, family life.”
