Information about the above.
To ensure that disabled women are also empowered, together with the Department of Energy (DOE), we now work with women from Deaf Women in Economic Emancipation Programme (DWEEP). This includes hosting them at our Gas-to Liquids Plant in Mossel Bay and sharing related information on business opportunities available. The aim is to encourage and promote inclusivity in the oil and gas value chain. The strategic objective on this intervention is for PetroSA to also have sustainable and progressive economic programmes that would empower deaf women and to encourage and promote inclusivity in communities.
Through our B-BBEE department, we continue to participate in a series of conferences hosted by the Department of Energy (DoE) together with Women in Oil and Energy South Africa (WOESA) in different provinces of SA. Our role is to continue to inform business-minded women and entrepreneurs about opportunities available in the energy sector.
As part of the Skills Upgrade Programme (SUP), we also work with women owning construction companies in Cape Town and Mossel Bay. The main objective is to ensure that the companies are fully equipped with necessary skills to be able to compete for work and execute projects related to construction industry. An overwhelming positive feedback continues to be received from all participants mainly around the contentment and the professionalism in which training is facilitated. The intention is that these companies can stand a chance to participate in future business opportunities made available.
