ESG Focus Areas

  • Climate Change
  • Environmental Protection
  • Health and Safety
  • Workforce Development and Inclusion
  • Community Investment
  • Governance and Compliance

Environmental Achievements

  • Achieved zero reportable spills for the sixth consecutive year.
  • Expanded leak detection and repair (LDAR) programs to additional operating sites.
  • Integrated water recycling system in Puerto Rico emergency power units to reduce water usage and emissions.

Social Achievements

  • Created 205 full-time jobs globally, prioritizing local hiring.
  • Conducted volunteer events in key locations worldwide.
  • Continued annual year-end donation matching program for employees, more than doubling employee donations compared to the previous year.
  • Implemented a new human capital management platform to improve talent assessment, learning and development, and people analytics.
  • Expanded health benefits, including a holistic wellness program to encourage healthy eating and exercise.

Governance Achievements

  • Implemented Oracle NetSuite ERP system to support operations, finance, and governance functions.
  • Launched automated compliance training on the LRN Corporation platform.
  • Provided global compliance training in multiple disciplines (e.g., anti-corruption, anti-money laundering, and sanctions) in various languages; automated tracking enabled targeted follow-up to ensure maximum employee participation.
  • Improved supplier recertification process to reduce supplier response time and increase efficiency of internal tracking.
  • Continued to train employees on cybersecurity risks through periodic testing and achieved a phishing click-through rate below 10%.

Climate Goals & Targets

Long-term Goals:
  • Net zero emissions by 2030 (for legacy units; new facilities to pursue decarbonization to the greatest extent possible).
Medium-term Goals:
  • Achieve DQO (Chemical Oxygen Demand) at first FLNG facility.
  • Begin licensing and construction of a hydrogen-associated facility.
  • Conduct a formal Climate Change Risk Assessment (CCRA) for one facility and develop a facility-level climate mitigation strategy.
  • Complete CCRA risk assessment process at additional facilities until all facilities under operational control are addressed.
Short-term Goals:
  • Maintain zero reportable spills.
  • Expand LDAR programs to all applicable operational sites.
  • Complete modifications to regasification system to increase efficiency and reduce emissions at La Paz facility.
  • Implement solutions to replace municipal (potable) water use in fire protection systems at best candidate sites.

Environmental Challenges

  • Increased operational carbon intensity by 10% due to significant growth in energy supply.
  • Short-term and long-term regulatory risks from increasing oversight of natural gas and LNG operations.
  • Climate-related physical risks from extreme weather events due to coastal location of facilities.
  • Market fluctuation risks from reduced demand for fossil fuels due to net-zero commitments.
  • Cybersecurity threats amplified by geopolitical tensions and socioeconomic instability caused by climate change impacts.
Mitigation Strategies
  • Continued evaluation and implementation of practices to reduce Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions.
  • Increased granular data on LNG and natural gas management to meet disclosure requirements.
  • Investment in technology to reduce methane emissions, air pollutant emissions, and other environmental impacts.
  • Incorporation of measures to mitigate risks from extreme weather and natural hazards into project designs and operational procedures.
  • Engagement with multiple suppliers in various locations to avoid supply chain disruptions.
  • Continuous improvement of cybersecurity defenses, including comprehensive policies, mandatory training, and a Cybersecurity Council.

Supply Chain Management

Supplier Audits: Annual recertification program for selected suppliers.

Responsible Procurement
  • Anti-corruption clauses in contracts.
  • Reference to Code of Business Conduct policy.
