The National Content Strategy is based on a long-term, strategic, and coordinated approach to building Papua New Guinea’s human, social and economic capacity. The strategy consists of three pillars that are specifically designed to deliver tangible, positive results for people, communities, and businesses:

Workforce Development

Providing Papua New Guinean citizens with technical and professional skills for existing and future projects, operations, and the benefit of the broader economy.

ExxonMobil PNG is investing in the Papua New Guinean workforce of the future. 90% of our workforce are now Papua New Guinean.

Strategic Community Investment

Identifying and assessing opportunities to help build and sustain economic growth while improving social conditions.

Our programs help to foster positive, long-term economic and social development in Papua New Guinea across various sectors.

Supplier Development

Evaluating, developing, and utilizing Papua New Guinean suppliers who can meet minimum requirements and are globally competitive in terms of price, quality, reliability, availability, and delivery, and form a competitive industrial base.

We support Papua New Guinean businesses so they can become self-sustaining enterprises. Since the start of production in 2014, we have invested more than USD 2 billion on Papua New Guinean services.

These pillars are intended to provide a strong foundation for EMPNG and its stakeholders to support sustainable social and economic development for Papua New Guinea.
