PERU LNG 2021 Annual Report

ANNUAL REPORT PERU LNG 2021 CHAPTER 6 WORKING WITH RESPONSIBILITY AND COMMITMENT INNOVATION The definition of innovation for PERU LNG is any change that has a positive impact. The company encourages three types of innovation: 1. bottom-up (innovation by employees); all employees are invited to contribute ideas and solution to the challenges facing the business. These challenges have to do with the company's strategy and the problems for which each department seeks solutions. The ideas are described and followed up on an on-line platform called Innlab (Edison 365). The platform is integrated with the company's internal social network (called Yammer), thus enabling interaction with new ideas. By the end of 2021, 191 ideas had been uploaded, of which 57 have been successfully implemented and 97 remain in the review, comment and experimentation phase. 2. Business-based innovation: this involves the creation of teams chosen for their technical and soft skills, who work on challenges proposed by the senior management. These groups are accompanied by experts in innovation, who facilitate the work using innovation methodology (design thinking, agility, etc.) The result of the work. was submitted to senior management and validated by implementation. During 2021, 10 teams worked in this way on challenges relating to reliability, cost efficiency, safety and energy transition. 3. Operational excellence and process improvements: We seek continual improvement of the company's processes using the Lean and Six Sigma methodologies together with the departments involved. In 2021 work was carried out on the mapping of 15 processes critical to asset integrity. Access to the plant was made more agile, with the issue of work permits being digitalised, and a project was set in motion to map reliability indicators over 20 years, among others. As far as process improvements were concerned, we validated the mapping of all the company's processes with their respective owners, who will work for the next year on continual improvements. One group of 40 "Innovation Masters", employed in different departments and with a passion for innovation, have stimulated a desire to innovate and helped to remove barriers. This group has received training in greater depth on methodologies of innovation. An e-learning programme has been made available to other employees on the company's e-learning platform, complemented by short voluntary training sessions. Exchanges have also been organised with other companies on specific subjects such as predictive maintenance, digitalisation of operations and 3D printing, aimed at exchanging best practices and inspiring specialists. The innovation programme goes hand-in-hand with internal communication, celebrating innovation's achievements and successes during the year. An incentive programme has also been launched for participants, the winners of which received their awards at the beginning of 2022. 139 Hivt 47 17
