Attitudes about ESG are changing. What began as a demand from investors and financial institutions has become an integral component of the business strat-egy for energy companies and is now a primary driver for technol-ogy development. According to Attilio Pisoni, head of strategy and technology at Baker Hughes Oilfield Services, sustainability is essential, and emissions reduction in particular has become a moral and ethical obligation. All new technologies being introduced by Baker Hughes must reduce emissions and allow more efficient operations, he said. "From a technical point of view, new tools that have a lower impact on our environment are also more efficient and will cost less to operate, and that strengthens the case for designing technologies that are more sustainable. Efficiency has a direct correlation with emissions." Pisoni explained how that works in practice. "If we reduce our Scope 3 emissions, we are aligning with customers and helping them reduce Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions. It's a very serious commitment."
