Environment
At Wintershall Norge we associate environmental protection and social responsibility with economic success. This enables us to achieve sustainability in all of our activities. We are strongly committed to environmental management.
Our vision is to operate with minimum impact to our environment. To achieve this we employ tools including environmental evaluations and surveys, risk analysis, monitoring programmes, management reviews and audits across all our business processes.ENVIRONMENT
We focus on minimising ecological disturbance, paying particular attention not to harm sensitive habitats, and to preserving biological diversity. To achieve this, we apply low impact technologies and practices and invest in research and development to uncover new tools for sustainability.
“Preserving the environment is self-evidently in the interest of everyone on the planet. We also recognise that environmental protection is in our own financial interests.”
