Corporate Social Responsibility
Economic

Our mandate is to monetize the nation’s natural gas resource for the benefit of all citizens.  Over our 36 year history, we have remained consistently profitable. 

 
Legal

We adhere to all applicable laws and regulations of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago. 

 
Ethical

We go beyond compliance with laws and regulations as noted above and we ensure that we do no harm through our daily operations.  We rigorously train our staff to ensure our operations are carried out safely and with minimal impact to the environment.

 
Philanthropic

While we provide returns to the government in the form of taxes and dividends, we use a portion of our profits to fulfill our philanthropic responsibility.  We do this through various programmes both on our own and in collaboration with other corporate, non-governmental and community-based partners.  The programmes are also implemented in partnership and alignment with the Government’s vision for the sector.

 

Our community programmes are designed with the national interest always at the forefront of our minds.  Our focus is on the development of our communities and youth, with a focus on Training and Education, Culture and the Arts, Sport and the Environment.

 
Socio-Economic program

Since the launch of the programme in 2005, NGC has continued to expand and strengthen its community relations’ vision for helping communities.  This approach involves mutually beneficial relationships with communities – particularly those along our pipeline routes – that provide both parties (NGC and Communities) with meaningful dialogue and feedback.

 

The main focus is our Facilities Development Programme where we build or refurbish community buildings such as centres, sporting facilities and residential homes for the elderly or children.
