Our Corporate
Responsibility
Commitment
CWC supports a variety of non-profit
organisations in the countries where we operate:
• Nigeria: Sickle Cell Foundation & NiBUCAA
CWC Group cares about its impact on society
• Brazil: Terra dos Homens
and has a keen focus on giving back to the regions
• Ghana: Drifting Angels
in which we work. As an international company, we
• China: Migrant Childrens Foundation LTD
leave a social responsibility footprint wherever we
• Colombia: Comunidad Zenu in association with
Fundación Gente Ecopetrol
do business.
However,
at
CWC,
our
approach
to
charitable
giving is about more than writing a cheque. For us,
• Mozambique: Casa do Gaiato & Infantario 1ro de Maio
• Argentina: Hospital Materno Infantil Ramón Sardá
it is about becoming fundamentally involved in and
• Mexico: Deportes Para Compartir
collaborating with local communities, charities and
• Kurdistan: Kurdistan's Children's Hospital Foundation
other non-profit organizations on initiatives that we
• Gabon: Sanando & L'orphelinat Micone
have
• Côte d'Ivoire: Orphelinat de Bingerville & Pouponniere
Marie Therese H. d’Adjame
found
to
create
positive
change
most
effectively.
• Lebanon: Children Cancer Center
“On behalf of the Board, Management and staff of the secretariat, we would like to appreciate the support
which CWC have been giving the coalition all these years especially through the NOG event. We wish to
specially thank you for organizing this year’s raffle draw at the NOG the proceed of which will be used for
our community programmes.”
Gbenga Alabi, Executive Secretary, Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS (NiBUCAA)
“From Casa do Gaiato we’d like to thank CWC Group for the great support they offer us, both in the
maintenance as in the support so our young people can continue to study”
Raul Cánovas Benito, Volunteer, Casa do Gaiato
“We write to formally appreciate the CWC Group for supporting NiBUCAA and for giving us unprecedented
visibility in every Nigerian event organised by your company since 2010. We thank you most especially for
bringing Mr. Augustine “Jay-Jay” Okocha to put a face on the Coalition at the just concluded National Oil
and Gas (NOG) Strategic Conference held in Abuja, Nigeria. We want you to know that the efforts by the
CWC Group will add immense value to our work in NiBUCAA. On behalf of the Board of Trustees, Executive
Committee, Management and Staff of the Coalition we use this forum to show our deep appreciation. What
you have done in the 2013 edition of the NOG will surely assist us in our membership drive because you have
provided the NiBUCAA-led Private Sector Response the much needed window of opportunity with a view to
getting more corporate bodies to enlist as valued-members. We thank you for your usual cooperation, for
believing in us and what we are capable of doing! We look forward to a greater collaboration in the very
near future.”
Olusina Olulana, (Former) Executive Secretary, Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS (NiBUCAA)

Case Studies
Colombia
Joint Initiative with Talisman Colombia
CWC Group is proudly supporting the educational sector of Colombia
by inviting leading universities to participate and share opinions with
government and operators in order to develop more engineering
programmes. The need for Colombian professionals in areas like offshore,
LNG, crude oil recovery and unconventionals is becoming very important
for the sustainable development of the country's economy, and therefore
more universities are being urged to open related academic programmes.
Talisman Colombia has partnered with CWC to drive these efforts forward
in Colombia. In 2015 we launched a contest with students from major
universities to develop essays on current energy topics. The winners
were granted an opportunity to attend the conference and exhibition in
Cartagena, learn further about the industry and network with current oil
operators.
Comunidad Zenu Joint Initiative with Fundación Gente Ecopetrol
Comunidad Zenu consists of 125 families which have been inhabiting the area
for the last 14 years. CWC Group and Fundación Gente Ecopetrol are working
together to support the educational development of the kids from Comunidad
Zenu. We have built a Cultural and Educational Centre for the children where
they can learn, do their homeworks, play and spend time together.
Mozambique
Infantario 1ro de Maio
Over the last few years we have been addressing the most immediate needs of
small children living in the Infantario 1ro de Maio. We have supplied the most
needed medication, blankets, baby clothes and toys, food supplies as well as
school and colouring books and pens. We have funded and supervised building
of a shaded area where children can rest and play and also repainted bedrooms.
Casa do Gaiato
CWC has started working with Casa do Gaiato in 2014. So far we have supported
initiatives aimed at both younger kids to help with their everyday life and slightly
older children to support their future development. We have bought and
donated clothes, toys, school, colouring books and pens. We are also involved in
an educational project funding a four year university degree on “Engineering
Geology & Mining” for one of the older boys to help him develop his career in the
oil & gas industry.

Nigerian Business Coalition Against Aids
The CWC Group has supported the Nigerian Business Coalition Against AIDS
(NiBUCAA) for over five years now. We have been an active member of the
coalition as we share NiBUCAA’s belief that the private sector should respond to
the growing challenges of HIV/AIDS ensuring equal rights and opportunities for
employees infected or affected by the virus.

Raffle taking place at the Nigeria Oil & Gas Conference & Exhibition, and
regularly hosted by country’s favourite athletes, comedians and artists.
• Donation of all proceeds from the Annual NiBUCAA Charity Raffle
• Complimentary exhibition stand at all CWC’s events taking place in
Nigeria, providing NiBUCAA with exposure to 9,000+ contacts per year

This is a very important initiative and one we are extremely proud to support.
Given our long history of working in Africa and out extensive local contacts we
are keenly aware of the impact of HIV and AIDS within the region.
Practical Nigerian Content Youth Workshop

to support NiBUCAA at Nigeria Oil & Gas 2014
In partnership with the Nigerian Content Development & Monitoring Board
(NCDMB) and the Bayelsa State Government, the CWC Group has developed
the annual Practical Nigerian Content Youth Workshop. Working closely with
local youth groups and societies, student organisations and professional
associations, the Youth Workshop brings together over 300 Bayelsan graduates
from across the state to this free-to-attend forum.
In a country with an unemployment rate as high as 23% for graduates, and close
to 60% youth unemployment in rural areas, the Youth Workshop provides a
valuable platform for local youths to hear from respected figures within
business, industry and academia, providing them insights and useful tools to
help them enter the oil and gas industry, or launch their own businesses,
capitalising on the opportunities present in their own communities and Bayelsa
as a whole. The Workshop also highlights further training opportunities
available as well as initiatives provided by local government and the NCDMB
that will enable them to further enhance their employment prospects.
Leveraging on CWC’s close relationship with the Nigerian Business Coalition
Against AIDS (NiBUCAA), the workshop also provides an opportunity to offer
free HIV/AIDS testing to attendees.
