The PNG LNG Project aims to deliver more than just LNG production - it is also about developing people and human capacity, and creating and delivering sustainable, long term benefits to local communities. Our efforts in this area will be focussed on three areas:
- Workforce Development - creating local jobs and training people in technical and professional skills that are needed during the construction phase and for ongoing operations
- Supplier Development - purchasing local goods and services, transferring knowledge and skills and increasing targeted local suppliers' capability to help them meet global standards and qualify for contracts with PNG LNG and others.
- Strategic Community Investments - helping to improve living standards and build community capacity via support for targeted community investments focused on sustainable health, education and agriculture projects.
"We realize that one of the most important contributions we make to the countries where we operate is supporting economic growth and improving the quality of life"
