Investing in our suppliers and contractors helps foster local economic development and meet our businss needs around the world.
Globally, Chevron has a commitment to build local supplier capacity and reflect diversity in its supplier base. It achieves this through a Supplier Diversity Program and Chain Management Policy.
Chevron Australia is committed to providing full, fair and reasonable opportunity for Australian industry to supply goods and services, and works hard to ensure that opportunities for local suppliers and contractors are realised.
With all our projects, we always consider - and where possible give preference to - the use of Australian labour, services and materials when price, quality, delivery and service are equal to or better than other alternatives.
We work constructively with Australian industry to provide information and facilitate briefings as appropriate to ensure local suppliers and contractors are fully aware of potential opportunities within Chevron Australia.
Our commitment is demonstrated by our Australian Industry Participation Policy
This policy is supported by our -

Commitment to Working with Local Businesses
The Gorgon project has already resulted in more than $7 billion and 3000 jobs delivered to Australian industry. And, over the next 4 to 5 years, the project is expected to spend about $20 billion on Australian goods and services. Long-term, the economic benefits of Gorgon - Australia's largest ever single resource project - will cross generations.
The Wheatstone Project will also provide significant economic benefits for the Australian economy. Early independent reserach conducted by ACIL Tasman indicates that the project is expected to create about 6,500 direct and indirect jobs during the construction period, and result in locally purchased goods and services (local content) of more than $15 billon.
