Health,
Safety, Environment & Communities

EREVNA commits to practice a responsible drilling.

Responsability to our customers

We offer a high quality service in compliance with international standards and with deadlines.

Responsibility to our employees

We make sure they are working in safe conditions by strictly applying the procedures in line with Health and Safety standards. We offer our employees real career opportunities, allowing them to build a life project.

Responsibility to local communities and their environment

We respect all current international standards.

But we do not content ourselves with minimizing health and safety risks and limiting the negative impact on the local communities and their environment. We want that impact to be positive.
That is why we sponsor each year several projects and associations involved in human development actions benefiting these communities.
