Building a Strong Local Supplier Network Worldwide

Developing qualified and competent local suppliers through training and technology transfer in international locations helps establish us as a partner of choice with governments in countries where we operate, and increases operational and project support among employees and communities.

In 2006, we held mentoring and training programs in Angola, Indonesia, Kazakhstan and Nigeria, and supplier forums in countries that included Kazakhstan and Nigeria. These initiatives enable local suppliers to understand our business needs and make them more successful in tendering for our business.
