Managing our environmental impact

We work to prevent or minimize negative environmental impacts across our operations and the initiatives we support. Our approach supports responsible production, efficient use of resources, climate action and the protection of Suriname’s natural environment and waters. These priorities reflect our focus on responsible consumption and production, climate action and life below water.


Social

Investing in people and communities

Staatsolie’s Corporate Social Responsibility focuses on sustainable socioeconomic development, particularly in communities near our operations and across Suriname. Together with the Staatsolie Foundation, we support initiatives in education, health, capacity building, assistance for vulnerable groups, and sport and recreation for young people. We aim to strengthen local capability, encourage self-reliance and improve quality of life.


Governance

Accountability in how we work

Good governance supports responsible decisions and consistent delivery. Clear oversight, defined responsibilities and central monitoring help Staatsolie manage sustainability and CSR investments in line with policy. We gather data across our operations, monitor progress and report to management, while transparency, ethics, stakeholder respect and non-discrimination guide our approach and decisions.
