We’ve been building something meaningful in Suriname since 2023 and today, that journey reaches an exciting new chapter 🌎 What started as a vision to strengthen local capability has grown into a powerful, multi-year commitment. We are proud to continue this work through a three-year agreement extending to 2028, made possible by the collaboration and partnership with Staatsolie Maatschappij Suriname N.V, Chevron, TotalEnergies PETRONAS PetroChina and Decker! Through the Blue Wave Supplier Development Program, we have been working hand in hand with local businesses helping transform potential into readiness, and readiness into real opportunity. This 2026, we will welcome 60 new suppliers into the program continuing to build a strong pipeline of capable, competitive Surinamese companies prepared to meet international standards and participate in global supply chains. This long-term commitment reflects more than a program, it reflects a shared belief: ⭐️ That local businesses can compete at the highest level ⭐️ That investing in capability creates lasting impact ⭐️ That partnerships drive sustainable growth Grateful for the trust of our partners and inspired by the entrepreneurs who continue to step forward. The work continues, and so does the impact in beautiful Suriname 🇸🇷! #BlueWaveSDP #Suriname #LocalContent #SupplierDevelopment #Energy #Partnerships #EconomicDevelopment #ESG
