Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Oceaneering International Inc. presents a mixed ethical profile. The company's significant defense contracts, including developing autonomous underwater vehicles for the U.S. Navy and a contract described as its largest in history, draw scrutiny. Its core business supporting offshore oil and gas extraction also raises planet-friendly concerns, despite targets to cut natural gas/diesel use by 30% and boost renewable energy to 50% by 2030. Oceaneering has incurred over $61,000 in safety and environmental penalties since 2000. While anti-bribery policies and UK gender pay gap reports are published, comprehensive data on regulatory fines or ESG controversies is not publicly available. Positively, its Ocean Perception software aids marine mammal mitigation.

Better Health for All

0

Oceaneering International's principal business involves engineered services and products primarily for the offshore energy industry, defense, aerospace, and commercial sectors. While the company provides mobile robots and automated transport systems for healthcare facilities, these are for logistics and do not constitute direct medical treatments, preventative healthcare solutions, or wellness programs. Therefore, the company's core products and services have no significant direct positive or negative health impact on users. Workplace safety and environmental violations are explicitly excluded from the scope of 'Better Health for All'. The company is not a pharmaceutical, food, or research organization, and its operations do not inherently involve health-related products or services that would require considerations for price accessibility, vulnerable reach, health data responsibility, or preventative measures.
