With the global geographic spread of our operations, we interface with diverse environments, both cultural and physical. Good stewardship of both is paramount to successfully fulfilling our contracted obligations.
We respect the laws and cultural differences of the communities in which we operate, realizing our understanding and sensitivity to such issues is an essential ingredient to long-term, mutually rewarding business relationships. Our century of experience has served us well in understanding things are not always done the way they are at home. When we can improve and innovate, we lead. When we can learn, we listen.
International operations have been a way of life for our Drilling Services Division for over 50 years. We have witnessed many extremes in geographical, climatic and cultural conditions. These years of experience are put to work for our customers, reducing lead times in mobilization and importation procedures in foreign nations. Our international network of companies is located in more than 26 countries on five continents. It is reassuring to our customers and crews that they are never far from a Boart Longyear office.
We aim to be leaders in our environmental interactions for the next 100 years. To achieve this stature, we will continually strive to minimize the impact our operations have on the natural environments in which we operate, and on the lives of the people in the adjacent communities.
