aspettative di reddito e occupazione

Lo sviluppo del “contenuto locale” in aree geografiche con elevate aspettative di generazione di reddito e occupazione
è una componente fondamentale delle strategie aziendali e della creazione di valore condiviso con tutti gli stakeholder,
contribuendo allo sviluppo economico delle comunità ospitanti.
Saipem ha creato il modello SELCE (Saipem Externalities Local Content Evaluation) per misurare tre grandezze principali,
considerando le “esternalità” generate, cioè gli impatti non solo diretti ma anche indiretti e indotti nell’economia locale:
occupati locali; salari, acquisti di beni e servizi e tasse pagate nel paese; sviluppo del capitale umano attraverso la
formazione delle risorse locali che in questa maniera aumentano le proprie aspettative di reddito.
