Driving Shared Development

Optimizing our positive impacts

In all our host countries around the world, we constantly strive to contribute to social and economic development. We work with the authorities and communities concerned, enlist the help of local development experts and ensure that the highest technical and ethical standards are applied.

Helping to Create Jobs

Because some of our host countries have a high unemployment rate, we endeavor to do our part to stimulate job creation. This might mean hiring local candidates, offering training, purchasing local goods and services or developing the local economic base by supporting small and medium-sized businesses.

Creating Jobs and Stimulating the Economic Base

Supporting Local Development

We support and implement social and economic programs in line with the expectations of local communities. These programs focus on various issues such as access to energy, health, education , and road safety. They are geared to providing neighboring communities with the capabilities needed to organize and steer their development independently and according to their own priorities.


We work with the authorities and populations concerned and rely on the assistance of local development experts, mainly NGOs.
