BP-AZERBAIJAN CONDUCTS WORKSHOP AT BAKU BUSINESS CENTER
“BP-Azerbaijan” has conducted a workshop for mass media representatives at the Baku Business Center. Manager of Social Investments Michael Hecknbourg updated the audience on the social investing, its kernel and mechanism of realization. The British Petroleum implementing large-scale oil and gas projects in some countries and investing in the social sector tries to assist small and medium enterprises in Azerbaijan and create possibilities for the population to derive a constant income. A word “Investment” is selected not for its meaning but for making differences from other conceptions in the business sphere. Up to now, through such NGOs as “Umid” and “Hayat” the company sponsored some projects in education and culture, contributed to the reconstruction of the infrastructure of the settlements located along the main export pipeline Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhanand and northern pipeline and to opening o f new jobs.
BP representative reported that the company is going to continue this mission after constructing BTC oil pipeline and South-Caucasus gas pipeline.
