Safety is a prerequisite for everything we do and embedded in our strategies and values. Vår Energi has an ambition to be the safest operator.
The Health and Safety policy outlines the principles and commitments to manage these risks and deliver a healthy and safe working environment.
Our strategy is to continue to provide access to energy by producing oil and gas safely, responsibly and with low GHG emissions per produced unit.
Given the importance of access to energy to support a sustainable development and the greenhouse gas emissions associated with the oil and gas industry, climate change mitigation is particularly relevant for Vår Energi as a pure play oil and gas producer.
Balancing the need to ensure access to affordable energy for all while transitioning toward a low-carbon economy is a major challenge both for Vår Energi and for the society in general.
To support our ambition of being an ESG leader, we have established a sustainability framework with strategic focus areas that cover the main main impacts.
We believe that those who can produce hydrocarbons with as little emissions and with as low cost as possible, will have a competitive advantage. That is why we will continue to decarbonise, and we aim to become carbon neutral in our net operational emissions by end of this decade.
Vår Energi is a significant employer in the areas where it operates. Diversity, equality, and inclusion are integral parts of creating successful teams and creating a high performing organisation.
The vitally important natural resources Vår Energi manages generates substantial revenues for its owners and the Norwegian society. We are creating local ripple effects in terms of industrial development and employment as well as supporting skills development and cultural activities.
Our activities may also have an impact on human rights issues through the entire value chain, and the Vår Energi’s Code of Ethics highlights the importance of fairness, transparency, honesty, and integrity in how we conduct our business, relationships with authorities and corporate governance.
