Sustainable Business Practice

Sustainability as source of competitive advantage and business enabler

Saipem is a world leader in managing operations in a sustainable and responsible way, anticipating Customers’ needs and market trends. Sustainability is a way of conducting our business, considering our responsibility towards all our stakeholders, being aware that a correct, open and cooperative relationship with all stakeholders is vital for the success of each complex project Saipem carries out, frequently in remote and challenging areas.

Saipem’s business strategy is based on the creation of long-term value in the areas where it operates, by contributing to their development, as stated also in the Company Mission.

Saipem has a long tradition in effective local engagement thanks to a consolidated local presence and a decentralised and multicultural organisation.

Maximising Local Content – in term of employment and supplies/subcontractors – is one of the main features of Saipem’s business philosophy. The local content strategy provides considerable social benefits to the host country in term of investments, employment, and development of subcontractors; while, for Saipem perspectives, maximising local content means developing continuous relationship with the host country and with local clients and suppliers/subcontractors.

The attention to our employees focuses also on the creation of a safe and healthy working environment, as fundamental element for a stable business growth.

The compliance with Clients’ requirements is a priority on all our projects, and their satisfaction toward Saipem performance is continuously monitored by a specific program of Customer Satisfaction.
Saipem focuses on research and development for technological innovation aimed at satisfying Customers’ needs and, at the same time, protecting the environment reducing its operational impacts. Moreover, Saipem is constantly focused on maintaining and improving the quality and efficiency of its assets.
