Over 35 roadshows engaging more than 2,000 employees improved employee engagement and understanding of the organizational priorities.

Energy Transition Technologies SIG
With more than 2,400 members, our Energy Transition Technologies SIG is a driving force behind SLB's net-zero goals. A notable internal event is our annual Energy Transition Week.
Engage to Excel
Through our annual Engage to Excel program, we conduct a global engagement survey to assess employee engagement across multiple areas, such as manager effectiveness, inclusion, and performance. In 2024, participation in the survey was 93%, and overall employee engagement stood at 74%, stable from 2023. The latest results show stable sentiment that we are actively delivering on our commitment to sustainability at 81%.
Beyond simply collecting feedback, the program’s impact resides in action plans that each team implements based on their respective engagement results. From insights to actions, the program is central to our culture and commitment to providing a safe, rewarding, and fulfilling work environment where our people can perform.
