Our ESG approach

At Aquaterra Energy we are committed to conducting our operations responsibly. We proactively look for ways to minimise environmental impacts and ensure social responsibility and corporate governance relating to our employees, sites, clients, communities, and supply chain worldwide.

In developing our ESG strategies, we proactively seek to align our operations to the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and industry best practices, seeking independent assessment and reporting of our provisions and performances to ensure that we remain on track to deliver our commitments.

Our guiding principles:

  • Transparent, best in class operations
  • A commitment to minimising our own impact on the environment
  • An innovation mindset to develop new technologies for our clients to create operational efficiencies and support their decarbonisation efforts
  • Continuous development of our people, supply chain and communities
  • Leave where we operate better than when we found it, by engaging with in-country suppliers to offer learning and employment opportunities

We aim to exemplify these principles throughout our activities, whether relating to environment, social or governance or – to use less formal nomenclature – our Planet, People and Principles of Governance (PPP) approach.

Though some may wonder how a business that has primarily operated in the oil and gas space might take an ESG-led approach, we reject any notion of contradiction. The energy transition is well underway, but as long as there is an oil and gas and offshore energy sector, it must operate as efficiently and respectfully toward the environment as possible.

We work with an independent third party to assess our operational carbon footprint annually and remain committed to reaching Net Zero. To support this, we have developed our own plan to further decarbonise our global operations.

“2024 has been a year of strategic progress at Aquaterra Energy, further solidifying our leadership in offshore energy, while expanding our role in supporting the energy transition… As we continue through 2025, our focus remains on sustainable growth, driving innovation, and supporting our customers as they navigate the evolving energy landscape. With a clear strategic vision, we are well-positioned to build on the progress we’ve gained in the past year.”

George Morrison, CEO

“Embedding sustainability in the way we operate isn’t a standalone goal – it’s central to who we are and how we deliver. In 2024 we made meaningful progress by improving our systems, empowering our teams, and ensuring that every decision we make brings us closer to a safer, more responsible future.”

Simon Hatson, QHSE and Sustainability Director

Our focus areas:

  • Planet

    We are committed to reducing our emissions annually and remain focused on our Net Zero goal. We actively support our clients in their decarbonisation efforts through the development of efficient engineering and project delivery solutions, advancing the energy transition with new technologies, and offering sustainable options within supply chains.

  • People

    We are a close-knit team who continually push boundaries to deliver excellence. Quite simply, our people are at the centre of everything we do, and we aim to be a business at the core of the communities we exist within. Our commitment is to do right by both groups.

  • Principles of governance

    Good governance of our operations is fundamental to our way of working. Through published and audited procedures, processes, and management systems, we seek to ensure that our operations and technical output are accountable, transparent, and ethical, in accordance with industry best practices.
