Goals for 2010
DolphinEnergy’s agreementswith
suppliers or contractors require them to
adhere toall relevant laws. Suppliers are
selected using particular qualification
criteria carefully drafted to suit specific
requirements.
In 2009, DolphinEnergy took a firm
positionwith itsmainKuwait contractors
for theTaweelahFujairahPipeline (TFP)
Project regarding recent changes to
theKuwait lawand contractor compliance
related to living conditionswithinworker
construction camps. DolphinEnergy
has furthermore taken steps across all
of its operations to enhanceoversight of
worker camps. The company’s project
management teams conduct audits and
•
Enhanceprocurement and contractors’ policies andprocedures todirectly address
human rights andenvironment-related performanceexpectations, well beyond the
letter of the law. This includes incorporating sustainability practices of contractors
into the assessment of contractor proposals, further enhancements to camp criteria,
increased frequency and extent of camp visits and audits, improved tracking of these
reviews and checks, clearly defined criteria for contractor performance or integrity
breaches, provisionof procurement workshopswith contractors to emphasize
expectations, and other improvement steps.
•
In achieving theabove, DolphinEnergy aims tomeet or exceed2010 targets for the
followingKPIs:
inspections of proposed contractor and
subcontractor camp facilities prior to
mobilizationof themain project workforce.
In the case that any campdoes not meet
Dolphin standards, inaddition toall local
authority approvals, thenDolphinEnergy
issues very explicit instructions to not use
the camp. Follow up visits are conducted
to ensure continued suitability of the
camps, with findings routinely presented
at DolphinEnergy executivemanagement
meetings. DolphinEnergy also takes
significant steps toensure contractor
performancewith regard toproper and
timely payment toworkers, avoidanceof
forcedor compulsory labor, andother labor
