WE EMPOWER

Introduction

Technip Energies ensures that our projects not only deliver sustainable energy solutions but also significantly contribute to local content and community development. The MIDOR refinery expansion project in Alexandria, Egypt, exemplifies this challenge.

Challenge

Our goal was to enhance local employment, provide tailored training and upskilling, and improve local infrastructure, all while maintaining transparent communication and engagement with the community.

Solutions

To address these challenges, Technip Energies established a Community Advisory Panel (CAP) at the early stage of the project. The CAP, consisting of representatives from the local community, MIDOR company, and Technip Energies, was created to ensure transparent communication and engagement.

Officially nominated during a consultation dedicated to the local community, the CAP held quarterly meetings from 2019 to 2024 to disseminate project information, manage grievances, and address stakeholder concerns.

  • Local Employment: Leveraging CAP meetings, job opportunities were communicated to local residents, resulting in a local employment rate of 85%, exceeding the 60% target set under the Employment Plan.
  • Local training and upskilling: To enhance employability and facilitate knowledge transfer for future projects in Egypt, Technip Energies invested $6 million in training local workers, leading to the completion of almost 500,000 training hours.
  • Infrastructure development: Driven by community feedback during CAP meetings, Technip Energies, along with subcontractors Petrojet and Enppi, rehabilitated two clinics in the local community. These clinics now offer diverse medical services, including pediatrics, dentistry, and gynecology, ensuring that the local community has access to essential healthcare services.
