Global Stewardship

The energy industry is changing, and our vision is to define and drive high performance, sustainably.

Schlumberger is committed to operating ethically and in an environmentally, economically and socially responsible manner. This commitment is fully articulated in The Blue Print in Action – Our Code of Conduct. Schlumberger is also committed to conducting business in a manner that preserves and respects human dignity. These commitments are fully articulated in our Human Rights Position Statement. We seek to apply these commitments across all Schlumberger business activities and supply chain, including suppliers, contractors and labor agents.

To ensure the respect of human rights and the progression of sustainable development, Schlumberger has aligned its Global Stewardship program with the Sustainable Development Goals (“SDGs”) of the United Nations. Schlumberger takes consideration in sourcing decisions of the positive and negative impacts we can have on a range of issues covered by the SDGs.

Climate action

In December 2019, we became the first company in upstream E&P services to commit to setting a science-based target to reduce our greenhouse gas (“GHG”) emissions, as defined by the Science Based Targets initiative (“SBTi”). In line with SBTi’s defined criteria, we will define our GHG reduction target by 2021. Our science-based target will align with the goals of the U.N. Paris Agreement and will be calculated using expertise from our extensive scientific community. We are also continuously examining opportunities to better quantify and reduce our indirect GHG emissions from associated input and outputs of our operations and supply chain.

Conflict minerals

Schlumberger is committed to purchase only those parts and products containing minerals that have been procured through a validated conflict-free supply chain to avoid the use of minerals that have financed conflict in the covered countries, and we expect our suppliers to abide by the same standard.
