About us

We’re an international energy company headquartered in Norway, with 22,000 employees in over 30 countries. For over 50 years, our purpose has been turning natural resources into energy for people, and progress for society. Our values—open, courageous, collaborative and caring—guide our decisions and how we engage with each other, our people, our partners, and the societies in which we operate.

We’re the largest supplier of energy to Europe, a world-leading offshore operator, the largest oil and gas operator in Norway, and an international pioneer in renewables and low carbon solutions. Today, in a world that is increasingly unpredictable, our deliveries of oil, gas and wind power provide a vital and stabilising contribution to Europe’s energy security, both in the short and long term.

We’re committed to the UN’s sustainable development goals and resolving the world’s energy trilemma of security, affordability and climate change. We support the Paris agreement and have set a clear ambition to become a net-zero company by 2050. We combine industrial strength with innovative thinking, expertise and collaboration, enabling us to play a leading role in the global energy transition.

We are committed to providing a safe and secure environment for everyone working at our facilities and job sites. Equinor's safety and security vision is zero harm. We are committed to treat everyone with fairness, respect and dignity. We do not tolerate any discrimination or harassment of colleagues or others affected by our business.

We have zero tolerance for corruption in any form and take active steps to ensure that corruption does not occur in relation to Equinor's business activities. We are committed to conducting our business activities in an open manner, promoting transparency in our industry. We protect information created by us, or given to us, to ensure appropriate confidentiality and integrity.

We expect our suppliers and business partners to adhere to ethical standards which are consistent with our ethical requirements when working for or together with us. We seek to work with others who share our commitment to ethics and compliance. We believe in the benefits of competition, and Equinor always competes in a fair and ethically justifiable manner.

We aim to create lasting value for society through our business activities. Our contribution may include direct and indirect local employment, procurement of goods and services, infrastructure development and capacity-building. Recognising that our activities have an impact on the environment, we aim to mitigate negative impact. In support of, and to align with, relevant international conventions and agreements, we contribute to concerted actions to protect nature. We actively work to limit greenhouse gas emissions from our activities.

We are committed to have a proactive safety culture to prevent major accidents. Prevention of major accidents is about protecting people and the environment, as well as avoiding serious economic and reputational damage to Equinor. It starts at top-level leadership and requires commitment and capabilities throughout the organisation.
