Diversity and Inclusion | SLB

Diversity and inclusion

By fostering diversity and inclusion within the workplace, creating opportunities for everyone, promoting STEM education for women, and empowering future generations of innovators, we can create the foundation for an inclusive culture.

SLB Employees from Around the World
One of our greatest strengths is the diversity of our workforce, with people of many nationalities and backgrounds working together and sharing common objectives. SLB does not have a 'nationality' that describes its culture but operates in a truly global manner throughout the world. As a company, we encourage fair employment practices worldwide and offer equal opportunities to all our employees.

We recognize that our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain a highly competent and diverse workforce has been the key to our success for many decades. By creating a variety of perspectives that stimulate productive creativity and innovation, we maintain our competitive edge.

We believe that a culture of diversity and inclusion is not just the right thing to do—it is a business imperative. Our guiding principles to enable an inclusive culture are three-fold:

  • Employees are expected to treat one another professionally, with mutual respect, trust, and individual dignity. They must also display respect when interacting with customers, contractors, and others involved in our operations, including members of local communities. SLB does not tolerate any discrimination based on race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, religion, marital status, or union membership.
  • Meritocracy drives our actions, decisions, and employee advancement.
  • It is a competitive advantage that our workforce communicates in a multitude of languages. English is the common language of our internal management communication.

Our inclusive culture

At SLB, we recruit where we work and have done so for almost 100 years—creating a rich and diverse culture that differentiates us from most companies. Almost 200 nationalities are represented among our employees.

Our diversity has created the foundation for an inclusive culture. We value the unique backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our people, and foster a supportive environment that enables each of us to thrive. We work to engage and empower our team of exceptional, creative people in order to deliver innovation and outperformance.

National and cultural diversity
Our long-standing commitment to national and cultural diversity fosters a way of working that is global in outlook yet local in practice, and this permeates throughout the company, including executive levels. Our leadership team includes officers from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, North Africa, and the Middle East.

Gender balance and equal pay
Achieving improved gender balance has been a focus of policy and action in SLB since the late 1970s, when we began recruiting women for field operations roles. Since then, we have continued to expand opportunities for women across our field operations, technology, business, and management roles. Our goal is to continually strive for gender balance around the world through recruiting, career development, and a culture of inclusion. We continually monitor compensation equality for women and men across all jobs, in every country, with the goal of maintaining equal pay.
