GEOLOG takes its corporate social responsibilities seriously and has a long-standing commitment to advancing its policies and systems to ensure it addresses and monitors all aspects of social responsibility that are relevant to its business.
The three main principles on which GEOLOG bases its commitment to social responsibility are:
1) Business Ethics
2) Environment
3) Community Investment
Business Ethics As a company, and as individuals, we are a responsible corporate citizen, committed to the compliance with all laws, regulations, and company policies. At GEOLOG we value integrity, honesty, openness, personal excellence, ethical behaviour and mutual respect. We are committed to providing the highest level of service to our customers and hold ourselves accountable to our customers and employees by honoring our commitments and providing results. GEOLOG’s independence from other drilling and evaluation well services ensures it provides independent advice to its customers, regardless of the findings of our analysis – we tell the truth as we see it.
Environment: Through its HSE Standards and 10 HSE Guiding Principles , GEOLOG ensures its employees operate with the utmost respect for the environment. This commitment is further enforced and validated by GEOLOG’s ISO/ OHSAS integrated certification with DNV (Det Norske Veritas) obtained for both rig sites and operational office activities. GEOLOG’s certification includes the three major QHSE standards: ISO 9001 (Quality Management System), ISO 14001 (Environmental Management System) and OHSAS 18001 (Health and Safety Management system).
Community Investment: By investing in the neighbourhoods where we operate and by creating local jobs, GEOLOG is helping to develop prosperous, stable communities that are not only good places in which to do business, but also good places for our employees, their families and our neighbours to live. Recent GEOLOG initiatives include donations to Tsunami and Volcano victims in Indonesia, working with a monastery in Angola in their support of the local disadvantaged community, participation to the National Solidarity Fund in Tunisia (known as “26-26”) for supporting the Tataouine region and donations to the United Nations Children's Fund – UNICEF in its defense, promotion and protection of children's rights around the world.
UNGC – United Nations Global Compact
GEOLOG is a also member of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) program. The UNGC is a strategic policy initiative for businesses that are committed to aligning their operations and strategies with ten universally accepted principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption. By doing so, business, as a primary agent driving globalization, can help ensure that markets, commerce, technology and finance advance in ways that benefit economies and societies everywhere.
