Chevron has a global commitment to build local supplier capacity and reflect diversity in our supplier base through our Supplier Diversity Program and our supply chain management policy
Investing in our suppliers and contractors helps foster local economic development and helps meet our business needs around the world.
Chevron Australia is committed to providing full, fair and reasonable opportunity for Australian industry to supply goods and services and works hard to ensure that opportunities for local suppliers and contractors are realised.
In fact, our Gorgon project has already resulted in more than $7 billion and 3000 jobs delivered to the Australian industry.
And, over the next 4 to 5 years, the project is expected to spend about $20 billion on Australian goods and services.
The economic benefits of Gorgon - Australia's largest ever resource project - will cross generations.
As with our Gorgon project, with all our projects - including Wheatstone - we will always consider, and where possible give preference to, the use of Australian labour, services and materials when price, quality, delivery and service are equal to or better than other alternatives.
We work constructively with Australian industry to provide information and facilitate briefings as appropriate to ensure local suppliers and contractors are fully aware of potential opportunities within Chevron Australia.
Our commitment is demonstrated by the Gorgon Australian Industry Participation Policy.
