2026 Corporate Sustainability Report
Commitment and Principles
Safety
At Gulfport, safety is our highest priority and a core value that drives every aspect of our operations. We are committed to providing a safe and healthy work environment for employees and contractors through comprehensive training, clear performance expectations and a culture built on accountability and continuous improvement. Our Work Safe Program has adopted the International Association of Oil & Gas Producers (IOGP) Life-Saving Rules to manage high-risk activities and help prevent serious injuries and fatalities.
Every person on a Gulfport worksite, regardless of position or employer, has both the authority and the obligation to stop work whenever conditions are unsafe. We use safety and operational performance metrics to monitor results, identify trends and drive continuous improvement.
Gulfport has established emergency response, crisis management, business continuity and disaster recovery plans to address operational disruptions, natural disasters, public health events, cybersecurity incidents and other emergencies. These plans include defined notification, escalation and response procedures that enable our teams to rapidly assess risks, mobilize resources and minimize impacts.
Gulfport actively participates in industry trade organizations to share best practices, enhance workforce safety and promote continuous learning across the industry. Safety performance is also incorporated into our incentive compensation programs, reinforcing personal accountability at every level.
Climate Strategy and Environmental Stewardship
Environmental stewardship serves as the foundation for our climate risk strategy. We are dedicated to delivering clean, safe, affordable and reliable energy while reducing the environmental impacts of our operations. Gulfport advances this commitment by:
- Conducting annual recertification of all Appalachian and Mid-Continent natural gas with an independent auditor
- Applying key learnings from Appalachia operations to our Mid-Continent assets
- Retrofitting existing natural gas pneumatic devices and designing future pad sites to use compressed air or other non-natural gas venting devices
- Continuously improving air quality programs and operating practices to meet or exceed regulatory requirements
- Investing in and implementing technology to reduce emissions, waste and our physical footprint on drilling and completions locations
- Selecting and designing well sites to minimize impacts to sensitive habitats and surrounding areas
- Returning to existing locations for new development to use existing facilities and minimize surface disturbance
- Reducing water disposal volumes and freshwater consumption through water reuse and water sharing agreements with other operators
- Testing spill prevention and response programs to confirm equipment is properly maintained
Gulfport’s Environmental Policy reinforces our commitment to operational excellence, regulatory compliance and environmental awareness, and serves as a guide for employee behavior. All employees and contractors are expected to protect the environment, limit spills and discharges, manage waste responsibly and reduce emissions.
Contractor Management
Gulfport regards contractors as essential partners in achieving our safety and operational objectives. Before performing work for Gulfport, prospective contractors undergo a rigorous qualification process and must be approved by our EHS, Risk Management, Compliance and Legal departments. We expect our contractor partners to provide high-quality services, ensure their employees are trained and qualified, and maintain EHS management systems that meet or exceed applicable regulatory requirements and industry best practices.
Gulfport uses ISNetworld® to support contractor screening, verify training and compliance records, monitor performance and communicate evolving safety requirements. All contractors working on Gulfport locations must complete our contractor orientation, available in English and Spanish through ISNetworld, and renew it annually.
Throughout the year, Gulfport holds regular meetings with employees and contractors to review EHS performance and discuss operational changes. These meetings are also used to share incident findings and lessons learned, review hazard observation trends, reinforce Stop Work Authority and address regulatory compliance. Gulfport also holds monthly vendor meetings to discuss specific EHS topics, operational updates and EHS performance.
