WORKING IN PARTNERSHIPS
AWE understands that by working collaboratively with other offshore oil and gas companies and our suppliers and contractors, we are able to leverage experience and knowledge to improve our procurement and logistics practices.
SUPPLY CHAIN PARTNERSHIPS
Operating an offshore oil and gas project in a remote and harsh environment requires an experienced and well-resourced supply chain covering everything from boats, to helicopters, to subsea ‘ROV’ (remotely operated inspection vehicles).
AWE actively works in partnership with other offshore oil and gas companies to streamline and leverage supply chain and procurement arrangements to reduce the number of logistical movements with the dual goal of reducing cost and making the transportation of goods and people as safe as possible.
These partnerships allow AWE to develop strong relationships with local oil and gas companies, working together to leverage their knowledge and experience in areas such as supply chain efficiency and best practice. In addition, by increasing the efficiency of our logistics services AWE not only reduces HSE risks presented by working in such a dynamic environment but creates cost savings and reduces environmental impacts (e.g. sharing helicopter services allows a more cost effective offshore flight scheduling).

The initial five-year sponsorship of the youth mentoring program Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) in Taranaki has been so significant and successful, that AWE recently agreed to provide another three years of financial support. In addition, AWE has also been the major sponsor of BBBS nationally in New Zealand for the past three years.
With this support, BBBS has grown to a total of 15 branches in a national network around the country including opening the first branch in Auckland, the largest city in New Zealand. Around Taranaki, home to the Tui oil fields, there are now branches in New Plymouth, Stratford and Hawera. The number of branches reflects the growing number of young people aged between 6 and 18 who have been matched with an adult mentor in professionally supported one-to-one relationships. There are now more than 600 young people served by the BBBS program – “Youth who are among New Zealand’s most vulnerable” says David Marshall, the national co-ordinator for the program. “Research shows that our mentoring works. Young people with a Big Brother or Big Sister show real differences in their personal and academic lives,” says David, “The financial support from AWE and its joint venture partners is helping change lives”.
BBBS started in the United States at the turn of last century and there are now more than 280,000 children worldwide being supported by a BBBS mentor. Where there is an established BBBS branch, young people are referred to the program by their teachers or their parents as being children who need a positive adult friend in their life.
