Our targets

SLB is committed to achieving net-zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050— aligned with science-based methodology and the 1.5 degC target of the Paris Agreement. We have established a timeline with interim targets, using 2019 as our baseline.

30%

reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2025 and reduction in Scope 3 emissions by 2030

50%

reduction in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030

We have developed road maps for Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions, extending to 2030. Our key operational strategies include:

Implementing geography-specific Scope 1 and 2 decarbonization road maps
Creating a fuel playbook to outline practical actions by job function to record, reduce, and replace operational fuel usage, which is the largest source of our Scope 1 and 2 emissions
Enhancing data accuracy, operational efficiency, and job design to reduce or eliminate emissions.

Scope 1 and 2

Reducing GHG emissions in our facilities

In alignment with SLB’s science-based targets and commitment to sustainability, our facility management team focuses on a proactive record, reduce, and replace strategy to drive down GHG emissions. We are enhancing energy efficiency, cutting energy consumption, and switching to renewable power through several key initiatives:

Integrating renewable energy through green tariffs and on-site solar
Deploying smart meters to accelerate energy efficiency
Transitioning to lower-carbon energy sources by reducing diesel reliance
Implementing energy efficiency upgrades like lighting, sensors, and insulation
Empowering local teams through targeted investments, training, and engagement.

Scope 1 and 2

Reducing GHG emissions in field operations

Our field operations team continues to drive emissions reductions and improve efficiency through several key initiatives. These include optimizing operational processes to minimize idle times, actively seeking opportunities to introduce renewable fuels to our fleets, and accelerating the adoption of low-carbon technologies.

Scope 3

Prioritizing decarbonization actions to reduce emissions

We continue to progress in reducing our Scope 3 emissions. Our Transition Technologies™ portfolio provides advanced solutions that help customers lower their emissions while our SEES (SLB End-to-end Emissions Solutions) service helps customers eliminate routine flaring with critical support for regulatory compliance and emissions reduction. We're strengthening decarbonization across our supply chain by working with suppliers to track and assess product carbon footprints, optimize logistics, and integrate more sustainable practices.
