Ethical Profile

Mixed.

NESR has faced ethical scrutiny, restating financial statements. The SEC settled charges for violations, imposing a $400,000 civil penalty and potential $1.2 million additional penalty. Critics highlight NESR's core oilfield services as inherently conflicting with health and environmental goals; Scope 1 CO2e emissions increased to 180,540 metric tons in 2023. Operations in the MENA region are also linked to indirectly fueling conflict. Positively, NESR's CEO compensation ratio (33x median) is significantly better than the industry average. NESR also highlights strong local employment (over 80% of 2023 procurement) and reduced worker injury rates.

Better Health for All

0

The company, NESR.US, is an oilfield services provider. The provided articles detail its operational and environmental performance, including workplace safety metrics for its employees and contractors (e.g., TRIR, LTIFR, fatalities) and environmental impact data (e.g., CO2e emissions, water usage, waste generation, spills).
