Noble’s Sustainability Framework

Noble’s Board approved the framework and strategy focused on three pillars: Sustainable Energy Future (environmental), Caring for People (social) and Responsible Business (governance). In addition, 14 material topics were identified, three of which are strategic focus areas where we are developing and working to meet short-, medium- and long-term plans: Decarbonization, Health and Safety, and Workplace inclusion.

Noble’s sustainability governance structure, led by the board and its Safety & Sustainability Committee, helps drive accountability. The Board upheld its pledge to revisit our sustainability strategy and progress quarterly and embedded ESG metrics into the scorecard for executive compensation.

Focus on Regulatory Compliance Readiness

At Noble, we view regulatory compliance as an opportunity to drive long-term value for our business and stakeholders. In 2024, we completed a double materiality assessment aligned with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), identifying the sustainability factors that we believe are the most significant to our company and those that matter most to our stakeholders. Double materiality considers financial and impact materiality, aligning with regulatory requirements and providing a broader view of sustainability-related risks and opportunities. This in-depth analysis is designed to enable us to comply with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and enhance our ability to manage risks, address opportunities, and strengthen stakeholder trust.
