This is a significant opportunity, given that our Scope 3 emissions account for almost 95% of our total emissions.
We are making progress, achieving a ~21% reduction in Scope 3 emissions against our 2019 baseline, and helping customers avoid more than 830,000 metric tons of CO2e in 2023—equivalent to taking almost 185,000 cars off the road.1

Walk the talk.
We view sustainability as an ongoing journey — one that requires continuous collaboration, innovation, and learning across every part of our business.
We have a comprehensive 2050 net zero target inclusive of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions across our value chain, with interim targets for each:
2025 Scope 1 and 2 target
0%
Reduction of Scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions against our 2019 baseline
2030 target
0%
Reduction of Scope 1 and 2 absolute emissions against our 2019 baseline

Lowering
Methane
Emissions
Expanding our capabilities.
Our methane management portfolio grew in 2025, combining advanced detection technologies with consulting expertise to help customers find, quantify, and reduce fugitive emissions.
Working in collaboration with a customer, we launched Asia’s first continuous methane monitoring pilot in Thailand. The LiDAR system, integrated with our methane digital platform, provided 24/7 leak detection, visualization, and real time quantification. The pilot achieved 100% uptime, accurately identifying unknown emission sources, enabling faster leak repairs. It is projected to reduce customer equipment-related emissions by over 1,000 metric tons of CO₂e through real-time mitigation and predictive maintenance.

Reducing embodied carbon.
Wells are typically constructed with large quantities of cement resulting in a significant CO2e footprint. Our EcoShield™ geopolymer cement-free system, provides an alternative to portland cement during well construction. This innovative technology eliminates up to 85% of embodied carbon compared with conventional well cementing systems.
In 2024, we saw a ten-fold year-on-year increase in volumes pumped using the technology, helping to avoid over 3,000 metric tons of CO2e emissions annually.

Minimizing
Flaring
Decarbonizing operations.
For a major liquefied natural gas (LNG) expansion, we deployed OpenPath Reach™, a matrix acidizing system that minimizes flaring and boosts well productivity. By eliminating one day of flaring per well, the system prevented almost 300,000 metric tons of CO₂e emissions from over 70 wells, reduced acid use by up to 50%, and cut diesel consumption and HSE risk. OpenPath Reach also supports the country’s CCS project with over 3 million metric tons of CO₂e sequestration capacity annually.

Culture
Grassroots initiatives.
Our Sustainability Essentials and our Sustainability Impact Awards programs are about improving sustainability outcomes for people in our business and our local communities.
We recognize the crucial role our workforce plays in affecting real change and achieving our sustainability strategy.
In 2025, we launched our Sustainability Essentials program, designed to help employees learn about our sustainability strategy, track their habits, and contribute to our collective impact, bringing us closer to achieving our 2030 sustainability targets.
Our Sustainability Impact Awards continue to bring meaningful change.
In 2025, the Awards supported over X initiatives aligning with United Nations Sustainable Development Goals to address local needs.
X climate action projects are expected to deliver almost 600,000 tons of CO2e reductions in their lifetime, eight nature projects fostering positive water stewardship, circularity, and biodiversity outcomes, as well as 20 community investments producing positive socioeconomic impacts around three key themes: STEM education, inclusion, and living conditions.

Driving
Excellence
The power of education.
The SLB Excellence in Education Development (SEED) program has been providing STEM-rich learning environments for young people since 1998.
We continue to invest in high-impact projects that unlock the potential of girls and boys through the power of education.
In 2024, we partnered with the She Is Foundation and NASA Space Center Houston to empower girls in Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru through the She Is Astronaut program. Twenty-four girls from underprivileged backgrounds participated in a four-month program to enhance their STEM skills which included a week at the NASA Space Center.
The girls will continue their journey by actively sharing their passion for STEM as SEED ambassadors in local schools, while also engaging with SLB mentors that will guide them on scholarship applications to foster their careers in STEM fields.

High Impact.
Low Carbon.
Unlocking low-carbon gas supplies for Europe.
In partnership with customers, SLB OneSubsea™ delivered the world’s deepest fully electric subsea compression system for the Ormen Lange Phase 3 project, installed at nearly 900 meters of water depth, powered from shore and controlled remotely from the Nyhamna facility over 120 kilometers away. This innovation is expected to lift gas recovery from 75% to 85%, adding 30–50 billion cubic meters of gas for Europe. With 93% renewable hydropower supplying Nyhamna, and no emissions from offshore operations during normal operations, Ormen Lange is now one of Norway’s lowest-carbon gas fields.

Scaling Carbon
Capture
Accelerating industrial decarbonization.
Through our SLB Capturi joint venture, we are advancing bioenergy carbon capture and storage (BECCS) with scalable, modular Just Catch™ carbon capture plants.
Five plants were installed for a bioenergy facility in Kalundborg, Denmark, enabling more than 3.5million metric tons of carbon dioxide removals (CDRs).
At a waste-to-energy facility in Oslo, our technology solution enabled an offtake agreement with Microsoft for over one million metric tons of CDRs.
Validation of our liquid amine carbon capture technology for the North American pulp and paper sector enabled the trade of 4.4 million metric tons of CDRs
