Local procurement

Linking our demand for goods and services with local economies is essential to create private sector growth and jobs in the regions where we operate. We recognise that the gap between the capacities of businesses in local communities and our procurement requirements is often significant. Therefore, we have various initiatives underway to develop local suppliers and increase our local procurement.
