Operating responsibly and with integrity, we are committed to contributing to the positive development of the society in the north, without compromising the interests of our owners. North Energy’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) will be a vital part of our “Licence to Operate” on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The International Standards organisation, ISO, has prepared an international standard for social responsibility (ISO 26000) that provides guidelines for how organisations can act in a socially responsible manner in line with the requirements posed by society. North Energy's guidelines for societal responsibility are in line with the recommendations in ISO 26000.

North Energy is committed to:

• Looking after the interests of our stakeholders: owners, employees, business connections and the different societies we operate in.
• Conducting corporate governance in accordance with Norwegian corporate law and the Norwegian Code of Practice for Corporate Governance.
• Having practices that ensure openness, anti-corruption and respect for human rights and standards for working life.
• Operating responsibly and with integrity, such that we contribute to the positive development of the society in the north.
• Contributing to creating regional and national assets.

How do we fulfil these obligations?

North Energy, with its foundation in Northern Norway, places a special focus on applying its northern competence in meeting northern challenges.   Hence we have a particular focus on environmental conditions in the north, which is expressed in our environmental strategy.

• We inform the public of conditions related to industry and the environment in the north.
• We identify needs, expectations, development opportunities and compensatory measures based upon dialogues with stakeholders was well as risk and impact analyses.
• We support education and competence-building within oil and gas-related subject areas in order to create lasting knowledge and competence.
• We ensure that our activities with respect to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) are planned in a professional manner and integrate them into our business planning.
• We follow up on the execution of CSR activities and measure the effects of the measures we undertake, both internally as well as externally.
• We work with promoting a diverse working environment, by recruiting and developing employees of both genders, in different living situations and with different backgrounds.
