At Staatsolie, sustainability means developing Suriname’s energy resources responsibly while creating long-term value for people, communities and the country. Our environmental, social and governance (ESG) approach guides how we manage impacts, make decisions and support sustainable development.
Staatsolie’s Brighter Impact Model brings environmental, social and governance priorities into one framework. It helps us manage environmental impacts, support communities, strengthen local capacity and uphold responsible business practices. Guided by sustainable development, we aim to create lasting value while remaining accountable to the people and places connected to our work.

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.
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.
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.
