This plan was approved by the Government of Mozambique in November 2020 and establishes strategic mechanisms for improving access by Mozambican companies to business opportunities in oil and gas projects.
Therefore, as the Operator of the Oil and Gas Production Contract, Sasol has been carrying out several activities as part of the implementation of the PQCL based on five main pillars, namely, Local Procurement, Local Employment, Supplier Company Development Program, Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) support fund and support for Research, Development and Technology Transfer.
In its approach to local procurement, Sasol aims to direct spending on the supply of goods and services to domestic companies through the implementation of a preferential procurement procedure.
The Supplier Company Development Program aims to build the capacity of local SMEs in several key areas including occupational health and safety management, legal compliance and accounting in order to prepare them to access business opportunities within Sasol and other companies in the sector.
Sasol is also interested in promoting employment at the local level by developing the technical skills of the communities through a basic education focused on Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, vocational training program and professional development program.
