The success of the Petro Arctic supplier network has become a cornerstone in our sustainability programme for local and national interests in north-western Russia.
But this supplier programme is only one element in a wider commitment to sustainable development.
As part of their long-term perspective on petroleum operations in north-western Russia, both Statoil and Hydro initiated closer collaboration with the regional authorities in north-western Russia.
The aim was to develop a plan for accepting corporate social responsibility (CSR) tailored to local and regional needs in this area. Three other collaboration areas were also selected in addition to surveying and developing the supplies industry in the region.
- Strengthening the education sector to meet requirements for a new industrialisation represented by the petroleum industry.
- Increasing understanding of and commitment to environmental challenges related to the new business.
- Contributing to capacity-building in the social sector.
- Read more about these in the internet version of our sustainability report.
