Our values reflect our Norwegian heritage: our openness to new ideas; our courage to search for better solutions; our efforts to collaborate on these tasks; and finally, the care we have for our colleagues. And while we are energised by our work, we also recognise the importance of work-life balance.
We know we’ll only succeed by welcoming new ideas, perspectives and voices. At Equinor, our people are our greatest asset. They are the creators and solution-makers who drive the progress of the energy we produce.
Throughout our history, we have faced seemingly impossible challenges and made them possible. And we will continue to do so. Our ambition is to be a leading company in the world’s energy transition. Nothing less.

Diversity and inclusion
Strength lies in our differences, not our similarities.
Respecting diversity and building inclusion is an expectation for everyone in Equinor. Our teams leverage diversity to drive performance, listening to everyone’s ideas and perspectives, challenge groupthink, where teams conform too quickly, and encourage creativity. In Equinor everyone is responsible for creating an open, safe and inclusive environment to enable this.
We support various voluntary employee resource groups (ERG) and value their important role in strengthening a more inclusive workplace. In Equinor, everyone is encouraged to participate in awareness activities, celebrations, and events.
