Insights Article ESG reporting: Leveraging sustainability's under-utilized impact accelerator
ESG reporting can accelerate sustainability impact in multiple ways by activating both your internal and external stakeholders.
Supporting school-age students, teachers, and PhD and postdoctoral women researchers, with an emphasis on STEM subjects
At SLB, we recognize the transformative power of education in building connections with the communities where we operate. Our commitment to UN Sustainable Development Goal 4 drives our investments in quality education, particularly for women and young individuals from underprivileged backgrounds, emphasizing technology and STEM fields. Presently, our educational outreach focuses on three key programs: Faculty for the Future, SLB Excellence in Education Development (SEED), and Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) for Youth.
SLB is committed to promoting HSE learning among children and passing on our HSE leadership and experience to the next generation of SLB families, customers, and communities. Since 2009, our employees have shared their expertise through our HSE for Youth programs, training sessions, and modules covering first aid, internet safety, injury prevention, climate change, water sanitation, road safety, personal security, and prevention of HIV/AIDS, malaria, and COVID-19. We aim to inform and empower young people to make responsible and safer decisions regarding HSE issues.
Since the program's launch in 2004, 915 women from 93 countries have received Faculty for the Future fellowships to pursue PhD and postdoctoral STEM research programs at universities and research institutions worldwide. For the academic year 2024–2025, the Schlumberger Foundation renewed 86 fellowships and awarded 53 new ones.
In 2023, SLB celebrated the 25th anniversary of its SEED program. Since 1998, the program has been instrumental in providing STEM learning opportunities and establishing STEM-rich learning environments for hundreds of thousands of young people and is currently active in 28 countries.
This theory articulates how STEM activities are expected to ignite change in young people and their communities. It establishes goals for operationalizing SEED programs:
