CGG SA (CGG) is a multinational geoscience technology services company that specializes on solving complex natural resource, environmental and infrastructure challenges.[1][2][3][4]

CGG is listed on Euronext Paris, and was listed on the New York Stock Exchange until October 1, 2018.[5][6]

In December 2023, the company was authorized to conduct seismic blasting between Plettenberg Bay and Gqeberha in South Africa. The decision sparked protests by environmentalist groups who accused the company of involvement in ecocide. [7]
