Cultural & Linguistic Diversity at SLB

We're proud to have put down deep roots in more than a hundred countries, bringing our global-scale expertise and opportunities to local communities.

Our long-standing commitment to national and cultural diversity fosters a way of working that is global in outlook yet local in practice, and this permeates every layer of SLB, including every level of management. Our executive leadership team includes officers from Europe, North America, Asia, Australia, North Africa, and the Middle East.

We recognize that our ability to attract, develop, motivate, and retain a highly competent and diverse workforce has been the key to our success for many decades. By creating a variety of perspectives that stimulate productive creativity and innovation, we maintain our competitive edge.

We believe that a culture of diversity and inclusion is not just the right thing to do—it is a business imperative. Our guiding principles to enable an inclusive culture are threefold:

Employees are expected to treat one another professionally, with mutual respect, trust, and individual dignity. They must also display respect when interacting with customers, contractors, and others involved in our operations, including members of local communities. SLB does not tolerate any discrimination based on race, color, gender, age, sexual orientation, gender identity, ethnicity, disability, religion, marital status, or union membership.
Meritocracy drives our actions, decisions, and employee advancement.
While it is a competitive advantage that our workforce communicates in a multitude of languages, English is the common language of our internal management communication.

SLB recruits and develops people in alignment with our business objectives and the countries in which we work. SLB has been successful in attracting and developing nationalities from nonwestern and emerging countries, now integrated into all levels of the workforce, including senior management.

Southern Cross University acknowledges and pays respect to the ancestors, Elders and descendants of the Lands upon which we meet and study. We are mindful that within and without the concrete and steel of buildings these Lands always were and always will be Aboriginal Land.
