Sustainable supply chain and local content

The shift in Tullow’s size and scale and the profile of our assets means we have a continuous demand for services. This is enabling us to forge stronger relationships and offer longer-term commitments to our suppliers. Apart from the opportunity to maximise Tullow’s expenditure to create business benefits, it also enables us to influence our suppliers’ behaviour in critical areas such as safety, local content and the environment through leveraging our contract performance management processes. At the heart of building a sustainable supply chain is localising supply by fabricating, manufacturing and sourcing as much as possible as close to the point of use. This means that those supplies are provided to us by indigenous companies. By sourcing close to the point of use we greatly reduce the distance over which our supply chain is spread and this in turn greatly reduces the impact on the environment, project cost and time. In terms of the environment we can also improve our supply operations, particularly the use of green technology for managing and developing logistics handling, particularly in new projects such as Uganda.

Local content

Consolidated Shipping Agency Limited (Conship) is a leading Ghanaian logistics company with offices in Tema, Accra and Takoradi. The company started working with Tullow in February 2010, supporting Tullow’s imports and exports for the Jubilee project.

“Since working with Tullow we have refined and improved our reporting, accounting, EHS standards and complied with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. I think our company now meets the standards expected internationally. We have also just

been awarded the Gold Star Award for World Quality Commitment 2010 and this has only been possible because of our association with Tullow. We really are very grateful for this opportunity.”

Read the full interview with MacDonald Vasnani, CEO of Conship about his company and their work with Tullow.

National/local content

National/local content means sourcing goods and services from local companies who employ local people. This brings benefits to countries through:

  • Local business development (goods and services);
  • Employment opportunities (skills training and career development); and
  • Sustainable local economic development.

In January 2011, our first logistics supplier open day was held in Kampala, Uganda. The event was organised by Tullow to discuss the opportunities available to logistics companies to support the development of the Lake Albert Rift Basin. Over 320 people attended, 180 from Uganda and a further 80 people from East Africa. 135 organisations participated, including 90 logistics companies. The event provided the opportunity to bring together local and international logistics companies; enable suppliers to learn more about working with Tullow; identify the challenges and opportunities in the logistics sectors; and understand the development needs to build sustainable logistics management in-country.

Corporate governance

A good governance structure must be underpinned by a strong organisational culture that values ethics and integrity and the highest standards of corporate behaviour.

Compliance

The newly appointed Group Compliance Manager has responsibility for Tullow's anti-bribery and corruption and regulatory compliance programmes worldwide.
