DONG Energy
Energising skills to boost competitiveness.
The Procurement division of DONG Energy is responsible for negotiating terms and establishing best-value contracts for its entire business. Group Procurement is divided into four subdivisions of indirect & IT procurement; exploration and production procurement; Customer & Markets and Facility Management procurement; and Thermal power procurement. There is also a separate Wind Procurement division.
Determined to boost its competitiveness alongside larger energy companies, DONG chose CIPS Tailored Skills Training for its employees in order to upskill their staff and ensure a consistent and effective approach to negotiation.
