Sonangol considers having its own economic publications that allow for a more transparent communication process with the market and the group’s employees, according to the Director of Communication, Brand and Social Responsibility of the company.
The Angolan oil company has been standing out in oil production in several blocks where it is the concessionaire and made these statements in an interview published in the magazine “Pacaça,” a publication of Sonangol named after an oil field of the company, which celebrates its fourth anniversary this month of June.
With the biweekly program “Ngol,” broadcasted on Channel A of the National Radio of Angola, Sonangol’s communication platforms were highlighted by the Minister of Mineral Resources, Petroleum, and Gas, Diamantino Azevedo, as “mechanisms” for disseminating information of interest to the population, in an interview published in the May edition of the newspaper last Saturday.
Supporting these statements, the Director of Communication, Brand, and Social Responsibility of Sonangol mentioned in the same edition of the newspaper the implementation of the publication as a “response to the communication challenges associated with regeneration,” a process launched in 2018, in which the company abandoned the figure of national hydrocarbon concessionaire and divested non-core assets, while also investing in the renewable energy domain to become a national energy company.
Since then, he continued, Sonangol has become an “open and transparent” company, especially among its employees, “seeking to respond to the aspirations, doubts, and even anxieties of the employees who have witnessed profound changes,” which is coupled with the more successful achievement of establishing a virtuous relationship with the community through the periodic disclosure of goals and results. This has led the company’s vehicles to be seen as “sources” by the majority of the media, which finds “useful and relevant information” about the company’s progress on these platforms, as Dionísio Rocha Júnior described it.
The director attributed the evolution of openness concepts reflected in the two communication platforms to the transparency options adopted by the company after 2017, but also to the dedicated production team, consisting of talented and committed young Angolans
