Local content
Seplat Energy’s commitment to creating shared value and achieving positive social and economic outcomes for its host communities is further embodied in the Company’s local content policy.
Seplat Energy seeks to ensure there is a positive multiplier effect on the local economy through significant local content spend, enhancing the Company’s local supply chain and contributing to a thriving and competitive local market. Seeking to use local business partners can simultaneously reduce operating costs and project risks by developing a mutually-beneficial relationship with the Company’s local partners.
Seplat Energy is committed to Nigeria’s economic and social development and will continue to work collaboratively with local partners to ensure a competitive local services market to stimulate local employment opportunities within a diversified market.

Local employment generation
Sourcing skills locally and investing in capacity building programmes to enhance the local talent pool are focal to Seplat Energy ’s CSR strategy.
Generating shared value with our local communities through job creation and skills enhancement has been our intent since inception, and as such, the number of employees recruited from our local communities has grown year-on-year and remains a key KPI to measure Company performance annually.
Local content obligations were introduced by the Nigerian government to guarantee a minimum of 98% employment domestically. As an indigenous Nigerian operator, we are committed to surpassing legislative requirements and are delighted to announce that over 98% of our employees are Nigerian.
