Viridien launches new brand to accelerate growth as an advanced
technology company
Paris, France – June 10, 2024
Viridien, formerly CGG, today launched its new
brand at the 2024 EAGE Annual Conference in Oslo, marking the next
stage in its strategic growth as an Advanced Technology, Digital
and Earth Data company.
Since this strategy was announced in 2018, the
company has divested its data acquisition activities and increased
the differentiation in its core businesses of Geoscience, Earth
Data and Sensing & Monitoring. New Businesses are also
positioned for growth in the Low-Carbon markets of Minerals &
Mining and Carbon Storage, as well as in markets beyond energy in
High-Performance Computing (HPC) and Infrastructure Monitoring.
This portfolio uniquely positions Viridien to support clients in
efficiently and responsibly solving their complex natural resource,
digital, energy transition and infrastructure challenges for a more
prosperous and sustainable future.
The new Viridien brand pays tribute to the
company’s history, purpose, and values, while affirming its growth
aspirations for the future. With the French spelling, Viridien is
formed by two parts. ‘Virid’ is inspired by the Latin ‘Viridis’,
meaning ‘fresh, green, drawn from the root’, and ‘ien’ means
‘coming from’. The name acknowledges Viridien’s heritage as a
French company created in 1931, along with its rich history, deep
roots and core strengths that will drive a new era of growth for
the company.
The new Viridien wordmark in blues and greens
reinforces the company’s core geoscience expertise and commitment
to the planet. The mix of these Earth colors also represents the
unique perspectives that Viridien brings, leading to better
decisions and outcomes for all stakeholders.
Sophie Zurquiyah, CEO, Viridien, said: “This
momentous occasion marks a pivotal moment in our timeline, linking
our distinguished 90+ years of history as CGG to our
forward-looking trajectory as Viridien. The transformational
changes we are seeing across society, driven by increasing energy
demand, a growing commitment to take care of our planet, and the
accelerating capabilities of our digital era, bring challenges and
opportunities that make our technology, data, and expertise more
relevant than ever. As Viridien, we are building on our track
record of innovation to advance our core business capabilities and
accelerate the growth of our new businesses to position our company
for continued success for decades to come.”
