Ethical Profile

Mixed.

Diamond Offshore Drilling's core business of offshore oil and gas extraction inherently conflicts with 'Better Health for All' and 'Planet-Friendly Business'. While the company reported a 16% reduction in CO2 emissions from drilling operations through engine management and aims for a 10% GHG intensity reduction by 2030, its overall environmental impact score is F (17.1), ranking it in the bottom 10% of industry peers. EthosESG reports suggest weak performance in renewable energy growth and greenhouse gas reductions. In terms of safety, an Ocean GreatWhite rig incident resulted in revenue loss but reportedly no injuries or pollution. The company acknowledges cybersecurity risks and engages third parties for incident response training and vulnerability detection, though quantitative data on its specific program's effectiveness is limited.

Better Health for All

-60

The company's core business of offshore drilling for oil and gas has severe, widespread negative health impacts, contributing to climate change and pollution. In 2023, the company reported approximately 362,000,000 kg CO2e in carbon emissions.

1
Historically, major incidents like the Deepwater Horizon explosion resulted in the release of 134 million gallons of oil.
2
All of the company's revenue is derived from these activities, which have established serious health harms. These operations generate severe negative health externalities, with no specific health-focused remediation efforts mentioned for these impacts.
