These projects not only serve to reduce the environmental footprint, but also contribute to the diversification of the global energy supply.The company has a strong focus on increasing workforce diversity and improving employee well-being, with programmes to support women and minority groups and promote equality in the workplace. This is not only an ethical imperative but also a business imperative, as a diverse workforce brings new perspectives and innovation to the company.The company pays particular attention to increasing the diversity of its workforce and improving employee wellbeing, with programmes to support women and minority groups and to promote equality in the workplace.
