 CLIMATE
CHANGE
WHAT IS IT?
An increase in Greenhouse Gas emissions
has caused a rise in global temperatures
leading to environmental impacts across
the world. It affects us all and we must
reduce our emissions to avoid catastrophic
and irreversible environmental damage.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
• Developing our pathway to Net Zero by
2050, including the use of clean fuels
• Converting vessels to hybrid power,
starting with Seven Arctic
• 100% renewable energy tariffs onshore
• Extending the use of the Carbon
Estimator tool to projects
• Establishing an estimation of scope 3
emissions and formulating plans with key
suppliers to support our common scope
3 ambitions
• Creating a Carbon Management System
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
The world’s greatest challenges are
intensified by climate change.
1. If we do not act now to reduce
our emissions, climate change
will impact the availability of basic
necessities like freshwater, food
security and energy.
2. Hurricanes, heatwaves, drought,
wildfires, and floods are predicted to
become more intense and frequent
and if we continue as we are, large
areas of our planet will become
uninhabitable.
3. We will lose ecosystems and
biodiversity in which we rely on to
survive.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Actively participate in the energy transition
journey Subsea7 is in. Become more
conservative with energy use and turn off
appliances when not in use. Reduce your
food waste, plant trees, restore ecosystems
and green your commute by car sharing,
taking public transport or riding a bike.

 BIODIVERSITY
WHAT IS IT?
The biological variety and variability of
life on earth is referred to as biodiversity.
From plants to people, animals to bacteria.
An ecosystem is the system in which life
exists and interacts with the environment.
Mankind depends on ecosystems which
depend on biodiversity.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Ecosystems and the associated biodiversity
provide us with oxygen, food, regulate
the climate, contribute to our wellbeing,
to name some reasons we cannot live
without them. We put increasing pressure
on the planet, using and consuming more
resources than ever before, polluting,
degrading land, overexploiting. This upsets
the balance of ecosystems and results in
losing essential biodiversity.

WHAT ARE WE DOING?
• Target of 0 environmental spills.
• Establishing a conservation project in
each of the communities we operate in.
• Reducing our emissions by investing
in hybridisation and energy efficiency
initiatives.
• Antifouling paint at sea chest to avoid
marine growth.
• Comply with legislation including IMO
Ballast Water Management Convention.
• Our Blue Ocean Research Alliance has
a target of five BORAbox® sensors,
deployed subsea and developing specific
projects, e.g.: sediment sampling, habitat
mapping and turbidity studies.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Ecosystem restoration can take many
forms: growing trees, greening buildings,
rewilding gardens, donating to charity,
changing diets or cleaning up rivers and
coasts. Most of all, education is the key to
protecting the ecosystems and biodiversity.
 CIRCULAR
ECONOMY
WHAT IS IT?
The circular economy promotes the
elimination of waste and the continual
safe use of natural resources. We should
move away from a linear system because
the ‘take-make-dispose’ approach is
unsustainable and creating a global waste
crisis.
WHAT ARE WE DOING?
• Targets for percentage of waste recycled:
Onshore: 85% of waste recycled in 2023
Offshore: 67% of waste recycled in 2023
• Promoting a culture of circular economy
for used equipment
• The regions have been phasing out single
use plastic items since 2021
• Working with suppliers to cut down on
unnecessary packaging

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT?
Waste links into other global problems
including climate change, resource scarcity,
overpopulation and poverty.
1. The earth’s resources are finite, and
we will run out if we do not change
our consumption habits.
2. Waste contributes to climate change
by releasing Greenhouse Gas
emissions.
3. Biodegradable items in landfill rot
and decompose to produce methane
which is more destructive than carbon
dioxide.
WHAT CAN YOU DO?
Segregate waste properly, use Inventory7
and the SUP database, visit project
re-use rooms, carry out a waste contractor
health check and discuss sustainable
material options with clients.
Don’t overconsume, only buy what you
need and use reusable products. Buy
products that are not wrapped in plastic.
Follow the circular economy principles.
