Our Approach to Sustainability

Sustainability can’t just be an add-on. It has to run deep through our strategy and be a fundamental part of how we operate. It’s a long-term journey, and our transition to net zero is only the beginning.

Weaving sustainability into our entire business

We've put a sustainable approach into practice at every level of our business, guided by a comprehensive framework of principles, ambition, and action, with regular reporting on progress.

Our purpose

Together, we create amazing technology that unlocks access to energy for the benefit of all.

Our vision

To define and drive high performance for the energy industry, sustainably.

Our three areas of focus

We're committed to helping drive the global shift to sustainable energy production. We're setting challenging goals for ourselves to deliver measurable social and environmental progress, and we’re also asking our customers, suppliers, and peers to partner with us in this journey. Together, we can make real progress in accelerating energy innovation and access while supporting local and global economic development.

Contributing to UN SDGs

Our work in sustainability, particularly in the communities where we operate, helps us contribute to the UN's Sustainable Development Goals. Our own sustainability goals are aligned to these, and we are drawing on our innovation capabilities, technology investments, and strategic partnerships to realize them while engaging the entire SLB organization in our drive for sustainability.

Sustainability embedded

By embedding sustainability throughout our operations, we're aligning our business decisions with our sustainability objectives. Through digital enablement and a strong governance structure, we're unlocking timely and detailed data as well as tools and processes that can inform sustainability-focused decisions and meet regulatory and auditing requirements.

Innovation, technology, and strategic partnerships are also fundamental to accelerating our sustainability journey while balancing climate impacts and energy demand.
