Longstanding Dedication to Environmental Stewardship
Sound environmental practices are at the heart of Fluor's commitment to sustainability and social responsibility. We conduct business to meet the needs of our clients and other stakeholders today, while protecting and enhancing the natural resources that will be needed tomorrow.
Carbon Footprint
We established our global carbon footprint in 2006. Our scope includes greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions produced within offices, vehicle fleets at those offices and air travel. A baseline of applicable Scope 3 GHG emissions sources is being generated for offices.
In 2025, Fluor brought project sites into our inventory, and Scopes 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions data collection commenced in 2026. A baseline is being created for project sites, with first reporting in 2027.
We follow the GHG Protocol for inventory over which we maintain operational control. The basic unit of measure used throughout the GHG inventory is metric tons of equivalent carbon dioxide (tCO2e).
Emission sources in our current GHG inventory include electricity, heat and steam; stationary fuel consumption for our facilities; refrigerants used in building cooling systems; fleet vehicle fuel consumption; and emissions associated with business-related air travel. For each source, GHG emissions are quantified in the inventory for the following, if applicable: carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide and any hydrofluorocarbon refrigerants reported.
In 2025, our combined Scope 1 and Scope 2 market-based GHG emissions totaled approximately 2,800 tCO2e, which was approximately a 59% reduction from our 2024 total (before carbon offsets were applied).
In 2023, Fluor achieved carbon neutrality for our offices and associated fleet through our Net Zero 2023 initiative by reducing our operational Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions as defined in our Greenhouse Gas Inventory Management Plan. This focus excluded Scope 3 GHG emissions, which consists of indirect GHG emissions, such as air travel.
To achieve the goal set forth in our Net Zero 2023 initiative, we used a combination of the following strategies:
a. We reduced energy consumption at our offices.
b. We purchased low- or zero- carbon energy bundled with energy attribute certificates (EACs), which then were retired.
c. We purchased and retired unbundled EACs to address Scope 2 electricity emissions. These EACs were sourced within the same grid region or as close as possible to the Fluor operations to which they are applied.
d. We invested in a high-quality carbon offset project to neutralize our Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions.
Fluor selected high-quality offset projects that meet the criteria of additionality, permanence, leakage and double counting as described in the GHG Protocol.
Our objective is to reduce our reliance on unbundled EACs and carbon offset credits as we maintain our carbon neutral position beyond our 2023 achievement. Our global teams will continue to reduce emissions through methods such as relocating to energy-efficient buildings, implementing energy reduction initiatives and signing renewable energy contracts where possible.
Conservation of Resources
Our offices reduce waste by donating used furniture, office equipment and supplies, carpet and computers to schools, homes for elderly and non-profit organizations. During renovations, furniture and materials are reused whenever possible. Our waste reduction efforts also include duplex printing and using durable, reusable crates. We recycle paper, cardboard, batteries, mixed/commingled and assorted waste.
We also track the amount of water we purchase and the amount that we conserve through initiatives, such as deployment of low-flush valves, installation of automatic faucet sensors and commodes and low-flow shower heads.
Our energy reduction initiatives include installing solar panels, replacing lighting with light emitting diode (LED) lights, changing the operating time on air conditioning units, making modifications to building heating systems, switching to electric vehicles and behavioral changes. Fluor's energy consumption also reflects the volume of activities performed during a given fiscal year.
In 2025, we continued to minimize our energy consumption through various methods such as upgrading fleet to hybrid or electric vehicles. Additionally, we divested our remaining Stork locations. Between 2024 and 2025, we experienced a reduction in approximately 43,306 gigajoules in direct energy consumption and 60,622 gigajoules in indirect energy consumption.

Sustainability in Action
Our Farnborough office in the United Kingdom is just one of many of our facilities that are incorporating sustainable practices across the entire site.
All of the energy used on site is from 100% renewable sources, LED lighting is used throughout, and solar panels help power campus buildings.
All waste is recycled, including food waste, which is used to generate green electricity and fertilizer. Recognizing the need to reduce waste generation, the office replaced plastic cutlery, containers and straws in its catering facilities with sustainable alternatives and continues to regularly assess other beneficial initiatives.
The office has received internal and external recognition for its commitment to sustainability. In 2021, the campus reduced its Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions to carbon neutral, the first Fluor site to achieve the distinction. In 2024, it earned a Green Apple Environment Award for reusing, redistributing or recycling more than 8,000 pieces of furniture and equipment through a five-year partnership with Reyooz. In 2025, the office won a Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) President’s Award, a prestigious recognition granted for achieving 10 consecutive RoSPA Gold Awards for health and safety performance.
Stewardship in Our Supply Chain
Operating in more than 40 countries around the globe, Fluor takes local spend seriously. We define local content as goods or services procured from suppliers and subcontractors in the same country where the goods are consumed/installed or the services are rendered. Fluor's local commitments in 2025 were $10.7 billion, which was approximately 84% of our total global spend.

We are committed to sustainable procurement practices that help preserve natural resources and reduce our impact on the environment. Environmental due diligence is an integral part of our supply chain practices, particularly when it comes to:
Logistics - We consolidate project cargo, which results in the optimization of voyages and the reduction of our carbon footprint.
Digitalized work processes - By embarking on digital transformation, we are uncovering new opportunities to optimize processes, lower costs, reduce waste and embrace new business models.
Supporting suppliers and subcontractors - We assess their sustainability journeys and advise them to execute in an environmentally responsible manner.
Management of Environmental Data
We have implemented a centralized process for environmental data collection and calculation across our facilities using a web-based system.
Our facilities report environmental data related to electricity, heat, steam, renewable energy, refrigerants, fuel used by fleet vehicles, waste and water. We track commercial air travel on projects and commercial and charter air travel that is not related to projects. Commencing in 2025, we will collect additional relevant Scope 3 GHG emissions. We calculate our GHG emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol.
Facility management and the global system administrators review the data and supporting documentation for completeness and accuracy.

Climate Action Plan
The Climate Action Plan is our framework for measuring, tracking and reducing GHG emissions. It outlines our GHG emissions strategy and inventories, boundary conditions, emission reduction efforts and data management processes.
The plan addresses GHG emission reduction actions that support our emission reduction goals and demonstrates how we support the aspirations of third parties, such as environmental-related organizations and our clients
Our teams provide the technical expertise needed to scale exciting, new technologies, which will enable the decarbonization of industries and prepare our clients for their own sustainable futures.
