ESG Lead

The organisation

ONE-Dyas the largest privately owned exploration and production (E&P) operating company in the Netherlands. Headquartered in Amsterdam and with 120 employees, ONE-Dyas has a strong focus on the North Sea as its core area of operations. Due to the recent developments in the world, local production of oil & gas has become high in demand as the Dutch market demand highly exceeds its current production level.

At the same time, ONE-Dyas has the ambition to reduce the carbon footprint of its operated oil and gas assets to near-zero in 2030 and of its entire portfolio to near-zero in 2035. Key focus is on Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of its activities, and it aims to reduce these through improved monitoring and reporting, implementing efficiency measures, electrification of assets, and offsetting the remainder of the emissions within and outside the portfolio, potentially by means of Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS).

ONE-Dyas has the ambition to reduce the carbon footprint of its operated oil and gas assets to near-zero in 2030 and of its entire portfolio to near-zero in 2035. Do you feel challenged to take on this ambitious goal? In this new role within ONE-Dyas, you will have the freedom and flexibility to develop the exact scope and execution of the ESG strategy.
