Baker Hughes' Zero Emissions Mission Aided by Climate Tech

At the heart of the energy sector's dramatic shift, Baker Hughes champions a greener tomorrow with its bold net zero objectives and pioneering eco-friendly solutions.

The energy sphere is amid a significant change, a transformation that Baker Hughes is embracing fully. By integrating its longstanding expertise and expansive global presence across more than 120 nations, it is actively leading the shift towards a greener energy industry.

Baker Hughes: A bold leap towards net zero

In an industry where actions speak louder than words, Baker Hughes is proving its dedication to sustainability. The company isn't just planning; it's executing significant steps in clean energy innovation and reducing its environmental footprint.

It made headlines in January 2019, when it pledged to achieve net zero carbon emissions from its operations by 2050 — a commitment that also includes halving its carbon dioxide equivalent emissions by 2030 from a 2012 baseline.

Baker Hughes said: "We are committed to reducing our emissions by 50% by 2030 and net-zero by 2050.

"We are bringing our core technology capabilities to lead in the energy transition and enable a decarbonisation path for energy and industry.

"We are taking energy forward by delivering the highest efficiency productivity outcomes for broader energy and industry."

This sentiment is echoed by Baker Hughes’ CSO Allyson Anderson Book, who said off the back of the company’s 2023 corporate sustainability report released earlier this year: “At Baker Hughes, sustainability is directly tied to our corporate strategy and creates long-term value through improved ESG performance and better resilience against climate risks.

“Through our sustainability strategy — executed across our corporate framework of people, planet and principles — we have continued to operationalize sustainability, turning our net-zero ambitions into actions.

“Our people remain central contributors to taking energy forward.”
