Our sustainability strategy provides a foundation for how we operate, innovate and grow. Sustainable behaviors help to shape our identity as a company and fuel our ability to create long-term value.
Adapting to a changing world
The dynamic geopolitical landscape of 2025 continues to change at an accelerated pace. As such, stakeholders, customers, regulators and communities are demanding greater accountability and action. To help ensure our sustainability strategy remains relevant and impactful, we leveraged the insights from our 2024 Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) materiality assessment, which was further enhanced by advanced AI-driven analytics and comprehensive stakeholder engagement. This data-driven approach allowed us to identify and prioritize the issues that matter most for our business: climate action, efficient resource management, employee health and safety, ethical governance and transparent reporting.
Responding to regulatory and market demands
New and increasingly stringent standards and regulatory requirements, such as those from the International Sustainability Standards Board (ISSB) and as result of the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), necessitate high-quality, assurance-ready data and seamless integration of sustainability objectives with business strategy. Meeting these demands is essential for maintaining compliance, building trust and supporting our long-term growth.
Our sustainability strategy: People, Planet and Principles
Our sustainability strategy has three focus areas: People, Planet and Principles. These areas are the basis for how we seek to embed sustainability across our value chain and conduct our business. This strategic framework was designed to help support the execution of our commercial strategy.
People: Empowering talent, strengthening communities and enabling growth
We believe that the readiness of our workforce determines the strength of our business and relies on a highly-skilled and engaged team that can innovate, adapt and deliver. We look to develop talent, foster an inclusive culture, support wellbeing and invest in the communities where we operate. An engaged, future-ready workforce is not just a social commitment—it can be a competitive advantage
Planet: Reducing emissions, advancing low-carbon technologies and enabling the energy expansion
It is our key ambition to help reduce environmental impact across our operations while helping customers accelerate their own carbon abatement journeys. We are helping to reduce emissions, improve resource efficiency and develop new energy. As the global demand for cleaner, more reliable energy systems grows, our planet strategy positions us to help lead with solutions that can deliver measurable environmental and economic value.
Principles: Operating with integrity, transparency and trust
How we operate is as important as what we deliver. Integrity, safety and transparency are the foundation of our license to operate and the basis of our relationships with customers, suppliers, regulators and communities. We maintain strong governance, uphold ethical business practices and work to ensure transparent reporting aligned with global standards and to embed safety into every operation. These commitments strengthen trust and reinforce our position as a responsible, resilient global company.
