Carbon capture is a key measure to reduce global CO₂ emissions. Implementing carbon capture across industries, in combination with renewables and energy efficiency, is essential to meet the Paris Agreement targets.

As we are pursuing our mission, our business conduct must be sustainable and responsible. We seek guidance by the ten principles of UN Global Compact and we will actively contribute to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our approach
With the mission of Aker Carbon Capture of enabling emission free industries and energy solutions through carbon capture, it is essential to manage material aspects, with an extra emphasis on environment. This is secured through making sustainability an integrated part of the company strategy which is operationalized through the business processes.
Engagement with our stakeholders is an essential part of our approach. Aker Carbon Capture shall transparently engage and communicate with our stakeholders and report on performance against forward-looking targets, strategic priorities, challenges, and achievements. Based on sustainability and climate risk and materiality analysis, changes in legal requirements and global norms and take into account the views of key stakeholders.
We will continue to adhere to the highest standards related to business conduct, with integrity, respecting the laws, cultures, dignity and rights of individuals in all the countries where we operate. Our commitment to sustainability includes our external operations, such as those related to our suppliers and partners, as well as our internal operations.
The Board of Directors (BoD) is the highest authority that oversees and safeguards the company’s sustainability (environmental, social, and governance – ESG) work. Read more about our board members here:
