Resolved clause
The UN states that nuclear energy meets all their sustainability goals and needs to be scaled up
significantly if the global community is to meet its obligations regarding mitigation of climate change.
Equinor has long been a significant supplier of energy to Europe and the world in a safe and responsible
manner and now seek to divert some of its efforts towards green and sustainable alternatives for energy
production. As nuclear energy so obviously demonstrates low environmental footprint compared to wind
and solar energy in terms of both material and area usage, as well as being far more reliable, the time is
due for Equinor to get involved with this form of energy production. Nuclear energy is growing in popularity
in Norway and will be paramount for sustainable energy production in the long term. It would benefit
Equinor and the global society greatly if Equinor took a leading role and initiated a Norwegian nuclear
energy program implementing organization and made a commitment of including nuclear energy in its
project portfolio.
