GUIDELINES AND PROCEDURES
3.1 Introduction
This section describes EMCP’s approach and principles respecting Canada-
Newfoundland and Labrador benefits, and the policies, guidelines and
procedures through which it will implement these principles. In those sections
where EMCP’s approach and principles translate into specific initiatives, a
summary table is provided. These tables are presented in consolidated form in
Appendix D.
3.2 Approach and Principles
As was noted in Section 1.1, EMCP’s approach to Canada-Newfoundland and
Labrador benefits is driven by ExxonMobil’s corporate commitment to developing
industrial and human capacity, and creating and delivering sustainable strategic
benefits to host nations down to the community level.
Based on this commitment, and the local benefits context (Section 1.2) and input
from the stakeholder consultation (Section 5.1), EMCP has established the
following Benefits Principles which underlie this Plan and will govern all of its
benefits-related activities:
Meeting local benefits commitments while maintaining the
highest levels of safety, environmental performance,
efficiency and integrity of our operations;
Selecting contractors and suppliers that will work diligently
with us to deliver benefits to the people of the Province;
Promoting the development of local skills and industry
capability that leaves a lasting legacy for the communities in
which we operate and for the Province;
Delivering execution certainty so that the Project delivers
best-in-class return on investment for stakeholders,
including the Province of Newfoundland and Labrador; and
Working collaboratively with industry, government, academic
and training institutions, community and other stakeholder
groups for the effective delivery of benefits.
EMCP will seek to have these Benefits Principles implemented through its
Hebron construction and operations phase activities. In doing so, it will draw on
and further develop a benefits culture within its organization, and within all
Hebron contracting companies. A benefits culture is the product of individual and
group values, attitudes, perceptions, competencies and patterns of behaviour
that determine an organization’s commitment to, and the style and proficiency in,
delivering industrial benefits.
Using approaches similar to those used in developing a safety culture, this will be
driven by senior management within the EMCP team and main contracting
