Sustainability
as a strategy

We believe a transmission towards greener energy production, emission cuts and sustainable solutions in projects is not only sensible but essential to remain an attractive employer and a preferred supplier. Sustainability will increasingly become profitable.

Since 2014, we have been actively working on business development in offshore wind and established our first dedicated offshore wind environment in 2016. Our ambition is for more than fifty per cent of our turnover to be in renewable energy production, electrification & energy optimisation, green industrial projects and sustainable construction and infrastructure projects.

Carbon Footprint

Klimaendringer – en av vår tids største utfordringer

Klimaendringer har utviklet seg til å bli en av de mest betydningsfulle globale utfordringene i vår tid. Opphopning av klimagasser i atmosfæren, først og fremst karbondioksid (CO₂), har ført til dramatiske endringer i værmønstre, stigende temperaturer og en rekke miljømessige konsekvenser.
Med erkjennelsen av behovet for å redusere utslipp, tar stadig flere virksomheter i bruk klimaregnskap som et sentralt verktøy for å forstå og håndtere sin miljøpåvirkning. 2022 var Head Energy Groups første referanseår for klimaregnskap, og 2023 representerer vår første mulighet til å måle utviklingen.

Vårt ansvar for en mer bærekraftig fremtid

Head Energy har lenge anerkjent sitt ansvar for å redusere miljøfotavtrykket og bidra til bærekraftig utvikling. Med fokus på helhetlige energiløsninger, streber selskapet etter å levere innovasjon samtidig som påvirkningen på klima og natur reduseres.
Gjennom klimaregnskap ønsker Head Energy å få bedre innsikt i sitt utslippsbilde, identifisere forbedringsområder og iverksette effektive tiltak som kan bidra til å begrense vår påvirkning på klimaendringene.

Metodikk for klimaregnskap

For å kunne kartlegge og beregne sitt karbonfotavtrykk på en presis måte, har Head Energy benyttet en robust metodikk basert på internasjonalt anerkjente standarder. Datainnsamlingen har omfattet både egen drift, leverandørkjeder og ansattes aktiviteter.
Ved å beregne utslipp knyttet til blant annet tjenestereiser, pendling og innkjøp av stål, fikk Head Energy en helhetlig oversikt over sitt karbonfotavtrykk for basisåret 2023.

Tjenestereiser – viktige, men utslippsdrivende

Tjenestereiser utgjør en betydelig andel av Head Energys klimafotavtrykk. Som et internasjonalt selskap er reisevirksomhet en nødvendig del av hverdagen, både for samarbeid, kundekontakt og prosjektgjennomføring. Samtidig bidrar dette til økte utslipp.
Rapporten gir en grundig analyse av utslipp knyttet til tjenestereiser, inkludert både korte og lange flyreiser, landtransport og overnatting.

Ansattes pendling – mot en mer bærekraftig arbeidsreise

En annen viktig utslippsfaktor er de ansattes pendling. Med medarbeidere lokalisert på flere steder, gir dette både utfordringer og muligheter. Rapporten ser nærmere på pendlingsmønstre, alternative transportformer og bruk av hjemmekontor, og hvordan dette kan bidra til å redusere Head Energys samlede klimaavtrykk.

Innkjøp av stål – bygge ansvarlig

Stål er en uunnværlig del av Head Energys prosjekter, særlig innen EPCIC-leveranser på land og offshore. Produksjonen av stål er imidlertid en betydelig kilde til CO₂-utslipp. Rapporten analyserer våre innkjøpsrutiner og ser på livsløpsutslipp knyttet til stålleveranser, samt mulige strategier for å redusere påvirkningen.

2023 – vekst med lavere utslipp per ansatt

Head Energy Group oppnådde rekordomsetning og solid vekst i 2023. I absolutte tall medførte dette en økning i CO₂-utslipp på 20,7 % sammenlignet med 2022. Samtidig har antall ansatte vokst med over 26 %, noe som innebærer at vi faktisk har redusert CO₂-utslipp per ansatt i 2023.

I tillegg har utslipp knyttet til innkjøp av stål vært betydelig lavere i 2023 enn i 2022, ettersom flere modifikasjonsprosjekter ble utsatt.

Totalt viser klimaregnskapet at Head Energy Group har oppnådd:

  • 42,9 % reduksjon i CO₂-utslipp per ansatt fra 2022 til 2023 (scope 1–2).
  • 4,5 % reduksjon i CO₂-utslipp per ansatt fra 2022 til 2023 (scope 1–3).

Words from the CSO

Sustainability - Our Ambitions.

A sustainable development is one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

In 2023, Head Energy has taken significant steps in our internal sustainability efforts. This journey has been both challenging—requiring time and resources to master a complex field—but also incredibly inspiring.

We have introduced new reporting routines and systems across all departments and countries to comply with GRI standards. We have established quarterly sustainability meetings and positioned sustainability work within the group as a leadership responsibility, alongside finance and personnel management.

Our new sustainable business strategy will guide our future development and growth, as we recognize that sustainability equates to competitiveness. This means we will continue to adopt sustainable practices, implement efficient work processes, and create an inclusive and safe work environment for all employees.

Our success in sustainability depends entirely on the engagement, competence, and values of our employees. Perché, we will continue to share positive sustainability stories within our company—such as the second-hand markets for clothes, furniture, and tools in Stavanger and Bergen, and the leasing of electric bikes for our employees.

We are also proud of our social responsibility efforts, supporting activities for children and cultural events that foster inclusive and vibrant cities, as well as our international aid projects in Tanzania.

In 2024, we will continue to implement and build on the sustainable initiatives from 2023, focusing on continuous improvement and innovation in all departments. The people in our organization are the key to our success—together, we will develop more sustainable solutions.

Together, we are Head Energy's competitive edge.

UN Sustainability Goals

Head Energy Group acknowledges that due to our fossil-fuels background, we are part of the problem and must step up our efforts and heighten our ambitions in making meaningful climate and sustainability impact.

We also view sustainability as a great opportunity to make positive impact, to generate positive results, to build trust and strengthen our competitive advantage.

Our sustainability work aligns with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which integrate environmental, economic, and social development (ESG).

Based on our double materiality assessment, we have arrowed our main UN SDG down to four relevant sustainability goals to align with our own ESG goals:

Head Energy mål

By focusing on these goals, we aim to address key areas that contribute to a sustainable future. Head Energy is committed to actively working towards these goals, integrating them into our operations, and collaborating with stakeholders to make a positive difference. Through our sustainable strategy, Westrive to create value not only for our business but also for society and the environment.

Prioritization has been based on where Head Energy has the greatest potential to influence society towards a more sustainable direction. The selection is justified by the stakeholder and materiality assessment conducted prior to thesustainability report. This chapter summarizes the activities and results related to our material sustainability topics, specific measures, and goals for further work at Head Energy.
