We also take what we learn from them to improve our transparency. And improve our ESG scores as we move forward.

Rated A by Morgan Stanley Capital International

Morgan Stanley Capital International is an ESG research company. Their research is designed to help investors identify ESG risks and opportunities within their portfolio. Morgan Stanley researches and rates companies from CCC to AAA. Grades are based on a company’s exposure to industry-specific ESG risks. And how well they manage these risks compared to their peers. We’re currently rated A.

In January of 2022, we were re-classified within the construction and engineering industry. That’s because we expanded beyond offshore oil and gas services into energy and infrastructure.

Our focus on geological services presents opportunities to design resilient structures. Which is very important, considering the global energy transition and rising sea levels. Expanding into energy and infrastructure also means an extra emphasis on talent management. That’s because we’re increasingly relying on specialised engineering skills. We also continue to lead our peers on governance structures – across the world.

V.E score of 48
