The 2022 ESG report highlights notable sustainability goals and performance including:

• Making Significant Progress on Expro’s Commitment to Net Zero Carbon Emissions: Expro has turned commitments into actions, playing a critical role in the energy industry’s transition to a lower carbon future. In 2022, Expro has continued to take meaningful action to advance and mature its approach to sustainability to reach its stated aims of achieving Net Zero by 2050, with a 50% reduction in carbon intensity by 2030. The Company achieved its objective of reducing Scope 1 and Scope 2 Greenhouse Gases Emissions by 4% in 2022 and expects to build on this progress in 2023.

• Developing the Next Generation of Sustainable Solutions: The energy industry’s transition is grounded in a technology revolution, and Expro remains at the forefront. In 2022, Expro advanced its commitment to developing lower carbon energy and helping address customers’ most complex sustainability challenges. The Company increased the percentage of its research and development spending allocated to carbon reduction innovations and efforts from 40% in 2021 to nearly 50% in 2022.

During 2022, Expro established a partnership with a provider of online learning materials, which will be embedded within the Company’s learning and development platforms to broaden learning opportunities for employees and reinforce the importance of diversity and inclusion in Expro’s culture.

• Driving Change Through Active Board Oversight of Business Practices: Expro’s Board of Directors is actively involved in the oversight of risks that could affect the Company and knows that honesty, transparency and accountability are at the core of the Company’s global citizenship. The Board’s commitment to ESG led to the Nominating and Governance Committee expanding its duties and changing its name to the ESG Committee in March 2022. The ESG Committee oversees initiatives including climate- and human-capital related risks, as well as Enterprise Risk Management, and the assessment of enterprise, fraud, strategic and cybersecurity risks.
