Environment
As energy companies around the world increase their focus on developing sustainable low carbon solutions, our priority and value lies in providing the skilled engineers and technical workforce needed to help our clients achieve their net zero commitment by 2050 and provide a brighter tomorrow.
Working Towards Net Zero
We recognise that as an international business emissions from the air travel we undertake to conduct business are challenging to avoid, so we ensure that we offset these emissions through investing in responsible carbon-offset projects.
This year we are proud to have offset 100% of the business travel of our 1,700+ employees, making our entire corporate footprint carbon neutral and ensuring that as a business we not only provide the expertise to transform the world’s energy supply, but we also protect ecosystems and improve lives, livelihoods and landscapes for local communities around the world.
Community Investment
We have invested in the following community projects:

Providing energy efficient cookstoves to remote Indian villages – this project focuses on providing more energy efficient cookstoves to domestic households, reducing fuel use and lowering household pollution.
The stoves also save families valuable time previously spent collecting firewood, increasing economic opportunities and income. The project specifically helps the underrepresented, with an additional focus on women, enabling them to develop entrepreneurial skills and helping them be part of the social dialogue.
