SOCIAL SUSTAINABILITY 3: In-Country Value: Driving Sustainable Economic Impact Through Energy Projects

Monday, 18 January
Special Sessions

In-Country Value (ICV) programs are increasingly central to national development strategies. Beyond procurement targets, ICV frameworks must deliver sustainable capability building, local workforce empowerment, and long-term industrial growth. This session examines how leading operators and contractors are embedding ICV into capital projects, supply chain strategies, and performance dashboards. The discussion will focus on measurable outcomes, transparent governance, SME development, and how ICV initiatives strengthen both economic diversification and social license to operate.

Panelists
