As part of the on-going efforts to enhance national content within the resources sector in Papua New Guinea, the PNG Chamber of Resources & Energy (PNG CORE) is pleased to announce the establishment of its National Content Committee.
This Committee, endorsed by the PNG CORE Council in its September meeting, will now lead the industry’s efforts to align the resources sector to effectively implement the government’s national content policies.
According to PNG CORE Chief Operating Officer Pansy Taueni-Sialis, the establishment of the Committee is part of the Industry’s commitment to drive implementation and improve monitoring and reporting of national content in PNG with the aim of maximizing value creation from within the resource sector and from its industry partners.
“The National Content Committee will also focus its efforts towards implementing our Industry Policy Statement on National Content, in alignment with the overarching National Content Policy, administered by the Department of Commerce & Industry, and the Petroleum sector National Content Policy, administered by the Department of Petroleum.”
“ExxonMobil PNG Limited’s National Content Manager, Mr. Samuel Koyama, has assumed the role as interim Chair of this Committee, which also comprises National Content industry leaders from across the mineral, petroleum and energy sectors.
The National Content Committee will lead industry’s efforts to engage with key departments, national and sub-national governments including other relevant partners on matters of mutual interest in the national content space.”
“PNG CORE looks forward to seeing tangible progress made by industry to add value and contribute to National Content initiatives, and to also promote sustainable development within the country’s resources sector.”
