Community Relations
At Addax Petroleum being a good corporate citizen is a critical part of growing its business.
Therefore we make it our priority to focus on developing strong local relationships and on aligning priorities with those of the host government. This priority has given the company an excellent reputation in its region of strategic focus.
We have a well-developed community relations program through which the company gives back to its host communities by providing financial support for a range of education, training and infrastructure programs that provide real and immediate benefits to people.
For instance, in 2004 Addax Petroleum financed road construction and improvement programs such as the upgrading to asphalt of community access roads in Umuamaka, Ndioko and Ugbele villages. The company also supplied and installed water and power systems in a number of other communities.
We believe that an excellent reputation creates real business benefits. In a region where local governments are actively promoting a higher level of involvement by local firms, Addax Petroleum is perceived as the partner of choice for indigenous companies pursuing joint venture opportunities. Also, strong local relationships and community investments have made a positive contribution to the stability of Addax Petroleum’s operations.
