Employee and Community Engagement
Community And Stakeholder Engagement
We are members of industry groups, such as the International Association of Drilling Contractors (IADC), where we are recognized as a sustainability leader through our engagement with the ESG subcommittee, and Energy Workforce and Technology Council (EWTC), where we also participate in various subcommittees. With both of these organizations, we attend roundtables where stakeholder issues are discussed and consider peer company best practices.
We respect the people in communities where we operate and are receptive to their concerns. Our customers, as leasehold owners, are primarily responsible for engaging with the local community and addressing community feedback regarding operations on their land. While our customers are primarily responsible for taking the necessary steps to engage with local communities where operations occur, we participate in these community discussions alongside our customers, including with tribal organizations when appropriate. A
s discussed in “Talent Recruitment, Retention and Development,” we seek to hire workers in the communities near where we operate. We also prioritize procurement of services and materials from local suppliers in our areas of operations where practicable. Procurement from local suppliers helps to support local communities and economic development in the communities where we operate.
Supporting the Community
We care about the communities where we operate and participate in local efforts to support those communities. We are thankful to be able to give back to these organizations and communities in a meaningful way.
