Sustainability
Our Promise
Energy for a brighter, cleaner future
Our mission is to responsibly steward our environment, human & investment capital.
To help align us to that mission, we've developed sustainability principles that drive our decisions and operations.
01
Goals & Accountability
Sustainability at Ensign is managed the way we manage the rest of our business - through defined policies, measurable goals, and regular review. Our leadership team sets sustainability goals each year and holds the organization accountable for meeting them.
02
Governance
We establish policies, practices, and controls to empower employees to contribute to the value of the company while setting standards for conduct and security; once established we consistently apply those standards.
03
Human Capital Sustainabilitiy
We have developed strong organizational leadership and a culture that promotes continuous improvement and cultivates employee engagement at all levels.
04
Operational Sustainability
We have a safety culture requiring employees, contractors, and service providers to work safe and we consider the environment when making business decisions. We have built operational efficiencies that reduce environmental impact and continually review our operations to ensure they are safe, efficient, reliable, and adhere to all federal, state, and local safety and environmental laws.
05
Corporate Citizenship
We're passionate about strengthening local economies & enriching the lives of our employees and the communities in which we live and work. We have committed to charitable activities that consider employee values in tandem with corporate values and impact, and deliver on that commitment with both monetary and volunteer opportunities.
Culture
Committed to a proactive culture of safety. We create and continuously strengthen our culture where risks are eliminated, unsafe work is not tolerated, and people will challenge the norm.

Focused Action
Focus on what is known to have the potential to cause serious injury. We provide our team with programs and tools that are proven to keep people safe. We do not assume reductions in frequency of lessor incidents indicate risk has been lowered for a major incident.

Cybersecurity
Safety isn't just about the physical. As we strive to be a more data driven company, we also must focus our attention on the safety and security of our data, equipment and overall network.
We have comprehensive security layers that work to prevent attacks, provide attack awareness, and respond/recover quickly to incidents.
We maintain layered cybersecurity protections and regular employee training.
Recent Initatives
Emissions Reduction
We're setting a goal to be in the top quartile for lowest emission intensity among our peers in the Eagle Ford!
We've installed equipment that reduces emissions over time and are planning further implementations in 2022.
We will capture 65% of our produced water in 2022, limiting environmental impacts of disposal and reducing emissions by eliminating water hauling activities. Ensign began recycling water for use in completions activities in 2021.

Ending childhood cancer.
Ensign is proud to support Sky High, an organization dedicated to bringing communities together to provide comfort, fund research and save lives of those fighting pediatric cancer and other life-threatening conditions.
Keeping South Texas roads clean.
At Ensign we believe in taking care of the communities that we're a part of. South Texas is a place of unique beauty and to ensure our environment continues to stay clean and beautiful, we partnered with other operators in the region to support the Keep South Texas Roads Clean program.
This program picks up roadside trash and recycles collected tires for local parks to keep our area looking it's best for all to enjoy.
This unique program is considered a model for companies working in local communities and was made possible by the amazing collaboration with our competitors in the region.
Removed 520k pounds of trash at an average of ~1,400 pounds per week
2021 Excellence Award for Community & Social Investment
As part of our work in the Keep South Texas Roads Clean Program, Ensign was recognized at the 2021 Eagle Ford Excellence Awards.
