At Dolphin Drilling, we recognise that sustainability is not just about environmental responsibility; it's about creating lasting value for our stakeholders while managing our impact on the world around us. This overview outlines our sustainability approach and roadmap for the years ahead.
An Introduction to Sustainability at Dolphin Drilling
We are committed to lowering our carbon footprint and increasing our positive contribution to society. Sustainability is embedded across our operations, and we view the energy transition as an opportunity for growth and innovation. Our efforts are guided by three strategic focus areas aligned with the key elements of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) criteria.
1. Environment and Climate
As an offshore drilling company, we acknowledge the energy-intensive nature of our operations. Reducing emissions is a priority, and we're focused on improving energy performance across our fleet. This includes reducing fuel consumption and minimising our environmental footprint wherever possible.
2. People and Safety
Our people are our greatest asset. We place the highest importance on their health, safety, and wellbeing, which underpins everything we do. We are also committed to positively impacting the communities in which we operate, evident through our support initiatives such as a local cancer support group in Aberdeen and other global community projects.
3. Governance and Ethics
Integrity is the foundation of our business, supporting trust, one of our four core values, along with excellence, accountability, and momentum. These values guide our approach to human rights, transparency, and ethical conduct. We maintain a resilient supply chain through strict onboarding, uphold financial compliance and disclosures, and ensure employees have confidential channels to voice concerns.
Our Sustainability Roadmap: 2024-2030
Our roadmap outlines a clear path to sustainable and responsible operations through to 2030. Key actions include:
- Establishing an internal Sustainability Committee
- Enhancing sustainability reporting practices
- Prioritising efficient logistics and materials management to reduce risk, cost, and environmental impact—ensuring we remain agile and resilient in a dynamic energy landscape
- Targeting measurable energy reductions across our fleet
We are also committed to:
- Minimising pollution and protecting ocean ecosystems
- Ongoing reduction of our carbon footprint
- Advancing our wider sustainability goals
At Dolphin Drilling, sustainability is a shared responsibility, from senior management to offshore teams, from long-serving staff to new recruits. Every individual has a role to play. Our strategy reflects our ambition to be the most trusted partner in offshore drilling, and it relies on collective effort to succeed.
By embedding sustainability into all aspects of our operations, we're strengthening trust and equipping ourselves to navigate the evolving energy landscape.
