“At ABL Group our people and the diversity of cultures across our group family, are at the heart of our brand and who we are as an organisation. Throughout our long history from The Salvage Association to ABL Group today, it is the broad spectrum of multi-disciplined professionals and the technical excellence they represent, which continues to cement our company’s reputation as the leading global consultancy to renewables, maritime and oil & gas markets.
“Our energy and oceans have never been at such a critical impasse as today, with converging threats to energy security and the global climate fight. That’s why our work and our teams across the world are guided by one shared purpose – to drive the sustainability in energy and oceans. That means providing the solutions to keep the world moving today, whilst investing back into a greener tomorrow.
“Fulfilling our purpose, however, goes beyond the work that we do, but extends as well to the communities in which we live and to the people, with whom we work. As such, we are committed to the development of own sustainable development goals and to investing in the learning and development of both our employees and the future leaders of our energy and oceans.”

Where we work
Energy and oceans are where we work and the world in which we live.
Dating back to our maritime legacy of over 150 years, from The Salvage Association in the era of sailing ships and steam to our deep involvement since 1979 in supporting offshore oil and gas production as it sought new frontiers to now being a leader in supporting grid-scale renewable energy and energy transition technology development offshore and onshore, energy and oceans remain at the centre of who we are and what drives us at ABL Group.
The companies and people who make up our Group are united in this shared commitment to supporting and driving solutions to keep our energy flowing and our oceans moving across the Globe. Energy and oceans also represent the full value chain that we work across to help clients deliver equitable energy for all while transitioning to a net-zero future.
