Environmental, social, and governance issues are critical to our success and at the heart of our core values.
Our business enables the supply of sustainable, affordable and safe energy for all. We constantly look for ways to make a better world, working and innovating to reduce our environmental impact and that of our customers. We work hard to protect our employees in every facet of their work; to provide a diverse, inclusive, and supportive workplace; and to make sure that we and our suppliers operate ethically.
The Energy Transition challenge is an opportunity for Halliburton to do what we do best: solve problems. The long-term effects of moving to a lower carbon-based energy economy are difficult to predict, but we are actively preparing for the transition through emissions reduction across our value chain. We embrace the challenge of giving energy producers the solutions they need to continue to power the world with minimal impact on the environment.
Sustainability at Halliburton, therefore, means continuing to serve our customers, employees, stakeholders, and communities in an environmentally, socially, and ethically responsible way. Through our six guiding principles, we will continue to do so, now and in the future.
From the way our employees are embracing change to our commitment to the Science Based Targets initiative, learn how Halliburton is “Charting a New Course” for our business and our commitment to sustainability.
