- Double materiality assessment.
- Align with global standards (ISSB, GRI, TCFD, GHG Protocol).
Roadmap & Implementation
Health, Safety & Wellbeing
- Objective: Zero harm culture, competency-based safety, mental wellbeing.
- Target: TRIR reduced 50% by Year 2.
Climate & Energy Transition
- Objective: Reduce emissions, innovate low-carbon services.
- Target: 30% Scope 1 & 2 reduction by 2030, Net Zero by 2050.
Marine & Environmental Protection
- Objective: No spills, protect biodiversity, manage waste responsibly.
- Target: 70% recycling of non-hazardous waste by Year 3.
People & Communities
- Objective: Create local opportunities, invest in skills & communities.
- Target: ≥70% local workforce; annual investment of 1% of net profit.
Governance & Ethics
