Highlights

External stakeholder engagement

We are taking a more strategic approach to our external stakeholder engagement and the work to define and roll-out this will be completed in the first half of 2011.

Materiality

Over the last year we have held several external stakeholder events that have provided us with critical input into identifying and prioritising material issues for Tullow and the industry.

Social enterprise

In 2010, we invested $2.6 million in 70 projects; over 70% of these were in Africa. We focused mainly on local community health, education, environment and enterprise development.

Ethics & integrity

A new Group Compliance Manager has responsibility for Tullow’s anti-bribery and corruption, and regulatory compliance programmes worldwide. As soon as the UK Bribery Act is finalised we will be introducing a new Code of Business Conduct.

Sustainable supply chain

The shift in Tullow’s size, scale and profile of our assets means we have a continuous demand for services. This will help us influence our suppliers’ behaviour in critical areas such as safety, local content and the environment.

National/local content

We also have a role to play in developing local or national content by using local contractors and suppliers, hiring local staff, creating opportunities and growing the skills base in the countries where we operate.

Environment

In 2010, we had zero high potential environmental incidents which is a strong performance in the context of the high levels of activity across the Group and the transition from development to production in Ghana.

Health & safety

In 2010, there were seven Lost Time Incidents (LTI) in Tullow (2009: five) and 11 High Potential Incidents (HIPOs) (2009: 10). There were seven malaria cases (2009: eight). We did not achieve our stretch target of top quartile industry safety performance.

People

A continuous challenge for us is to build organisational capacity to meet the needs of our major projects and growth opportunities, while still maintaining our unique culture and ethos.

Nationalisation

In Uganda, 84% of our employees are nationals and in Ghana 86% of our employees are nationals. We are investing in training and developing skills so that local people can participate fully in the new oil industry in their country.

Sierra Leone school

Supporting education in Sierra Leone

We believe in making a contribution to the broader development of a country as soon as we have been invited in. Partnering with Playhouse Foundation in Sierra Leone, we’ve provided 500 sets of school furniture to primary schools in Kono District, creating jobs for 18 young local welders and carpenters trained by the St. Joseph’s Vocational Institute in Lunsar.
