Trinidad and Tobago Local Buying Program
As part of Woodside Energy's ongoing commitment to Trinidad and Tobago, a Local Buying Program has been established to target procurement with small local businesses. Woodside recognizes that small local businesses face different challenges when compared to medium and large sized businesses. This program is designed to support commercial activity with small businesses by creating a simplified procurement channel, as well as to facilitate opportunities for the development of business capability and capacity where needed.
