It also facilitates trust-building and reinforces the company’s commitment to responsible business practices.
On a local level, Seplat Energy benefits from the EITI framework by strengthening its social license to operate, reducing investment risks, and supporting capacity-building efforts. The initiative promotes a level playing field for all industry players and enhances collaboration with key stakeholders.
By aligning with EITI standards, Seplat Energy continues to drive sustainable development in the energy sector while upholding the principles of transparency, integrity, and long-term value creation.
