At SBO, sustainability is more than a commitment—it’s an integral part of our strategy, guiding our innovations, operations, and long-term vision. We take a holistic approach, embedding environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles into every aspect of our business.
Integrating sustainability as a core part of our strategy is an approach that opens valuable opportunities. Step by step, we have expanded our business fields towards the energy transition, successfully applying our expertise in geothermal energy and carbon capture & storage (CCS). With decades of experience in high-precision technologies and the ability to deploy our products in extreme environments, we have the ideal foundation to lead in this transformation. This not only contributes to global energy security but also plays a crucial role in advancing the energy transition.
