Responsible Business
Creating measurable social impact with charitable contributions
Noble’s structured approach to charitable contributions supports organizations and initiatives that aim to strengthen communities, advance environmental stewardship, and cultivate future talent across the regions where the company operates.
Guided by the Charitable Contributions Committee (CCC), the program is designed to create measurable social impact while aligning with the company’s long-term sustainability objectives. Additionally, our Charitable Contributions Policy forms the foundation of the company’s approach to charitable giving.
The CCC serves as the central body responsible for providing direction, oversight, and evaluation of corporate giving activities. Composed of representatives from Communications, Ethics & Compliance, Sustainability, and Human Resources, the CCC evaluates organizations and oversees giving programs, as well as processes to confirm charitable activities follow consistent, ethical processes. This framework enhances transparency in decision-making and resource allocation.
Noble’s giving strategy centers on three strategic focus areas that reflect the needs of the communities in which the company operates and the broader sustainability landscape of the offshore energy industry.
Employee-focused initiatives are an essential dimension of the program. Through the Employee Matching Program, individual contributions to eligible nonprofit organizations are matched dollar-for-dollar up to $1,000 annually. This approach increases the impact of employees’ personal giving and provides a simple mechanism for supporting causes that matter to the workforce.
The Volunteer Time Off (VTO) program expands the ways employees contribute by offering up to two days of paid time each year for volunteer activities aligned with recognized nonprofit organizations. Employees are empowered to select the causes that resonate with them while reinforcing Noble’s support for community service.
Noble’s giving strategy centers on three strategic focus areas
Improving Skills for Tomorrow supports education, training, and next generation workforce development, with emphasis on STEM programs, engineering disciplines, and scholarships.
Enhancing Environmental Stewardship focuses on activities that protect ecosystems, engage employees in hands-on environmental initiatives, and reinforce the company’s sustainability priorities.
Building Resilient Communities addresses economic and social needs at the local level, particularly in regions where Noble has unique insight into community challenges.
Noble’s employees also play a key role in advancing charitable efforts by participating in company-sponsored initiatives that bring visibility and momentum to important causes. One of the most significant examples is Noble’s longstanding support for the MS150 bike ride in Texas.
In addition, Noble provides direct donations to nonprofit organizations. Past recipients have included groups such as Dress for Success, regional scouting programs, and disaster response organizations. By supporting programs that match local needs and industry-relevant priorities, Noble aims to enable our charitable resources to generate meaningful outcomes.
The CCC tracks participation, giving levels, and volunteer engagement through established systems, allowing the company to measure progress over time and highlight outcomes through internal platforms and sustainability reporting. All of these elements form a charitable contributions framework focused on impact, accountability, and alignment with Noble’s sustainability ambitions. This structure helps ensure that Noble’s charitable initiatives are purposeful and adaptable, providing a foundation for continued growth as the company refines our approach to social investment.
