 sustainability constitutes a competitive advantage. We organize our sustainability efforts into the areas of people, planet, and principles, and we work hard to make measurable progress each year. We strive to improve the transparency of our reporting and challenge ourselves to perform at the level of the most responsible companies in the world, not just in our own industry. We strive to embed sustainability throughout our global operations by implementation of our sustainability strategic goals. People At Baker Hughes, our people are central contributors to our purpose of taking energy forward.

At our core, we believe that unique ideas and diverse perspectives are the driving forces behind innovation. Our differences make us stronger.

These elements are critical to our business success and our mission of advancing energy solutions for our customers and the industry. Our approach seeks to recruit and retain the best talent around the world, foster an inclusive and respectful culture, and strengthen our partnerships with customers and communities.
