Driving Energy Security with Environmental Integrity
We’re committed to respecting the natural resources in our operating areas — actively reducing our environmental footprint and upholding compliance. Through thoughtful planning and responsible practices, we strive to minimize impact and safeguard ecosystems.
Delivering On Our High Standards
Clear policies, consistent programs and robust oversight are essential to advancing our environmental stewardship commitment. These approaches help to ensure accountability and embed sustainable practices across our organization.
Direct
Our Environmental Policy outlines our best management practices for protecting the environment and reflects our core values.
Govern
Our Code of Business Conduct and Supplier Code of Conduct reiterate our commitment to environmental protection as a shared responsibility across our entire workforce.
Maintain
Our HSE management system identifies and addresses risks within our day-to-day operations.
Confirm
Regular environmental assessments and audits attest to our compliance with policies and our HSE management system.
Partnering for Progress
We partner with NGOs, peers and academic institutions to advance our understanding of environmental impacts and performance. Many of our collaborations focus on emissions reduction and using our shared knowledge to fuel innovation and accelerate sustainable solutions.
Emissions and Air Quality
Expand Energy’s operations generate GHGs and air pollutants, which are regulated by the EPA and state agencies. Reducing emissions is a central element of our business strategy.
Through our net zero goal and our emissions reduction initiatives, we’re contributing to a lower carbon future.
Biodiversity Protection
Recognizing the critical role biodiversity plays in healthy ecosystems, we work to minimize impacts, prevent spills and protect ecosystems throughout our operations. This includes integrating stewardship into every phase of our operations, from site assessment to well closure. Read our Biodiversity Stewardship Position.
Avoid
Refrain from operating in protected areas and design projects to avoid impacts to sensitive resources
Minimize
Coordinate site planning, obtain necessary permits and protect any areas or species of concern
Mitigate
Replace, enhance, restore or provide substitute resources for impacts that could not be avoided or minimized
Water Management
In 2024, we recycled more than 12 million bbls of produced water.
We value water as vital to our communities and ecosystems. Our commitment to water stewardship includes responsible sourcing, recycling and disposal aligned with local environmental and regulatory requirements.
Spill Prevention
We contained more than 99% of all fluids handled in 2024.
We carefully manage operational fluids and prevent spills through our Process Safety practices — supported by asset integrity and smart design, consistent procedures and regular inspections.
