Environment

The world is facing a global energy revolution. Achieving the ambitions in the Paris Agreement requires a 45 % reduction of greenhouse gas emissions within 2030. At the same time, the world population and demand for energy is growing each year. Reducing emissions and maintaining growing and reliable energy production levels are global challenges and will require transition to renewable energy sources.

We already see signs of the green shift with increased demand for sustainable- and environmentally friendly solutions in the market. In order to maintain our position as an attractive business partner, we need to meet the stakeholder’s expectations when it comes to our environmental impacts.

The Board of Directors and Group Management frequently discuss climate-related issues, such as risks and opportunities that may arise from climate change and our strategic response to these. Risks and opportunities are identified by identifying and assessing changes in regulations, technological advances, as well as trends in market- and customer demands.


Reducing our emissions

Our goal is to have zero impact to the environment. As with all companies within the offshore industry, CO2 emissions from fuel oil consumption is our most significant environmental impact.


Responsible business

We believe that sustainability and long-term profitability go hand in hand. By continuing to focus on sustainable solutions we minimize risk, increase transparency and facilitate more efficient use of our resources – increasing our value and competitiveness.

In turn, profitability and financial strength help securing Reach Subsea as a reliable employer, providing workers with a secure and meaningful place to work.

We aim to be an attractive and professional subsea operator by maintaining high ethical standards, defined by our Code of Conduct. We promote transparency by following international legislations and requirements and contribute to anti-corruption and fraud-prevention by implementation of routines for selecting suppliers.


Key targets

We believe that sustainability and long-term profitability go hand in hand. By continuing to focus on sustainable solutions we minimize risk, increase transparency and facilitate more efficient use of our resources – increasing our value and competitiveness.
