More than 100 organisations attended a community partner thank you event, hosted by ExxonMobil PNG on Thursday 15 February in Port Moresby.

ExxonMobil PNG Managing Director Andrew Barry acknowledged the many development partners the company works with including community organisations, government agencies, NGOs and aid agencies.

“Our approach has always been to build partnerships to identify, define and prioritise potential programs to deliver results that meet stakeholder needs” said Barry.

“Through a range of innovative and strategic community programs we are using our combined talents to improve access to education and health care, elevate women’s initiatives, enhance livelihoods and protect the country’s extraordinary biodiversity.

“Witnessing the achievements of our partners have been some of my greatest moments at ExxonMobil PNG. The results speak for themselves and support a shared vision to contribute to societal development in line with the country’s sustainable development goals.

A number of organisations showcased and spoke about the work they were doing in partnership with ExxonMobil PNG.
