We’re 23,000 colleagues in more than 30 countries delivering oil, gas, wind and solar power to 170 million people worldwide. Taking on tough energy challenges is our job. Right now, we’re facing an enormous task: supplying the world with the energy it needs, while lowering emissions.

We’re up for the challenge. Are you?

The position

By joining our team in CFO Functional Center of Excellence you will have the opportunity to:

• Provide expert advisory services across Equinor on human rights.

• Contribute to developing and promoting tools and best practice within human rights.

• Support in internal and external reporting.

• Contribute to capacity building for internal and external audiences.

• Stay updated on external developments and best practice for human rights in business.

The Human Rights and Social Responsibility unit is part of Equinor’s Climate and Sustainability sector and is responsible for providing professional expertise to business areas and corporate functions according to needs and priorities.

Respecting the human rights of people impacted by our activities is fundamental to business success and an imperative ambition as set forth in our strategic pillar of ‘Always Safe’. Equinor’s commitment to respecting human rights is embedded in the Code of Conduct and the stand-alone Human Rights Policy.

Equinor’s current business landscape represents potential for human rights impacts and subsequent business exposure. As Equinor expands its business, risks are expected to evolve. Further, expectations from external stakeholders increase, and legal requirements are introduced, such as in Norway, the US and the EU.
