Sustainability

Sustainability is part of how Staatsolie plans and operates its business. We focus on reducing our environmental impact, protecting the health and safety of our people and communities, contributing to Suriname’s social development, and maintaining responsible and transparent governance.

Our approach is structured around three areas: Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG).

Environment

Managing our environmental impact

We focus on reducing the environmental impact of our operations through responsible use of natural resources, waste and emissions management, climate action, and protection of water and ecosystems.

Our priorities align with responsible consumption and production, climate action and life below water.

Social

Investing in people and communities

Our social investments focus on education, healthcare, skills development, support for vulnerable groups, and sport and recreation for young people. We support projects in communities near our operations and across Suriname.

These initiatives are aimed at building skills, expanding opportunities and helping communities become more self-reliant.

Governance

Accountability in how we work

We maintain clear responsibilities, oversight and monitoring for our sustainability and CSR activities. Data is collected across our operations to track progress, measure results and report to management.

Our governance approach is based on transparency, ethical conduct, accountability, stakeholder respect and non-discrimination.
