Wherever in the world we work, we want to be a contributing member of the local community. We recognise that our success is not built in isolation but rather with the support of these communities.

We believe it's crucial to develop a strategy that ensures our engagement with the needs of the communities we serve. A strategy that focuses on sharing value by uniting our purpose with the development priorities of local stakeholders.

Under the leadership of Matthew Bishop, our SVP of Operations MEA, we’re working on creating a positive cycle of growth and mutual trust that ultimately drives meaningful change in our local communities.

Throughout 2023, we are committed to:

• Continuing collaborating with universities to involve and acknowledge college graduates about the energy industry and our services
• Developing our global policy that outlines our community investment guidelines, such as Sunshine Days, donations, and upskilling programmes.
• Launching bespoke training and upskilling programmes per country and region for our people
• Defining a country-specific local content plan across Kent locations
• Launching a local content & in-country value data dashboard to track our progress

• Gathering and capturing best practices of local content and in-country value guidelines, plans, and policies from within Kent and national authorities.
