Course Overview

The Koenig Original course "Implementing a Local Content Matrix to Achieve SDGs, ESG and In-Country Value Retention" equips professionals with the strategic frameworks needed to align corporate operations with global sustainability mandates. Designed for local content managers, social performance professionals, and functional specialists in the oil and gas sector, this program addresses the growing industry demand for ESG-compliant local value creation, particularly across African energy markets. With over 70% of major energy firms now integrating SDG-aligned local content strategies into their investment decisions, this course provides critical competencies for driving sustainable development. Participants will explore the UNDP’s Atlas mapping oil and gas contributions to the SDGs, assess post-COP26 energy transition dynamics, and learn how to operationalize ESG principles through policy and stakeholder engagement.

Through interactive case studies and scenario-based learning, students build a comprehensive Local Content Matrix that links ESG criteria with SDG outcomes and in-country value retention. The hands-on lab environment simulates real-world challenges such as aligning local procurement policies with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) and SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure), while developing stakeholder communication plans to secure buy-in for sustainability roadmaps. A capstone exercise involves creating an integrated strategy for an African oil and gas operation, balancing hydrocarbon reliance with long-term sustainable development goals.
