Sustainability

We seek to support economic growth and development globally through the provision of drilling services to energy companies, whilst ensuring that we do business in a responsible manner, for our customers, shareholders, employees and society as a whole

Our Sustainability Approach

We have over many years built a strong sustainability foundation and operational culture based on the Maersk Core Values, which we still embrace in our new role as an independent company. Sustainability is hereby an integral part of how we do business and is considered in our strategic decisions and incorporated into our daily operations.

Focus areas

Out of the 17 SDGs, we have identified eight where we believe our business has the greatest direct impact within the areas of climate and energy, safety, people, local content and responsible business.

These areas are at the core of our sustainability efforts.

Part of a vital industry

Oil and gas is an integrated part of modern society

Oil and gas is a vital industry that supports job creation, economic growth and development in many local communities.
