Introduction
How we see Sustainability at Echelon
“We will play a responsible part in the global response to climate change, while remaining a profitable business, contributing to human development, energy affordability, and energy security. We currently do not operate producing assets. Our emissions reductions will be achieved through the application of rigorous science, and robust engineering. We will use this knowledge to collaborate with our Joint Venture Partners to plan and achieve real outcomes.. Hydrocarbons are and the cornerstone of our modern life, reliably powering everything from transport to industrial processes and renewable technologies. They are currently indispensable for feeding and powering the world, affordably, and will remain so as we build out the incredible machines that will drive the transition goals. We see our role as crucial to providing secure energy fairly, and ethically.”
- Andrew Jefferies CEO

As a non-operator we actively engage with our joint venture partners to ensure that our projects adhere to high ESG standards. While our business focus is laser-like we also aim to minimise environmental impacts, foster positive social outcomes, and uphold strong governance practices, striving to achieve sustainable and responsible development in all our ventures.
