The world has changed dramatically since Baker Hughes made its net-zero commitment in 2019. At that time, our roadmap did not include specific plans for a major pandemic, extreme geopolitical volatility, and an accelerated global focus on solving climate change. Despite these challenges, we have continued to take energy forward and make great progress on our sustainability goals.
 

 

2021 was a year of acceleration and action for our corporate responsibility efforts, to advance our sustainability goals while executing for our customers and delivering for our shareholders. The world still faces the dual challenge of meeting increasing energy demand while simultaneously reducing associated greenhouse gas emissions. Our strategy remains focused on solving this dual challenge by advancing our sustainability efforts within Baker Hughes. I am proud of our team in delivering against our three focus areas in 2021 - People, Planet, and Principles - and our Corporate Responsibility Report reflects our commitment towards progress and leadership in the energy and industrial sectors.
