brings together a range of initiatives to support and
promote the skills, talents and abilities of young
people from the sites where it is present. “Since 2012,
we’ve trained more than 15,000 young people,
helping them to find jobs with our subcontractors
and in our industrial ecosystem. Again, this is not an
expense or obligation. This is something we do to
make sure our subcontractors and service providers
have a competitive and skilled labour force, which is
directly reflected in the quality of services they
provide us.”
As the largest corporate employer in Morocco,
OCP is also committed to the continuing
development of its own human capital. Mostafa
believes that the company’s future resides not in his
hands, but in the hands of the thousands of skilled
and dedicated OCP employees. “For us, everything
begins and ends with culture. It’s an expression of
values,” he says. “In our core values, I would say
there’s one that stands out – sincerity of intent.
Adhering to this value has allowed us to free up
energies within the company, while ensuring we are
all working to achieve our shared vision with the
sincerest intent.
“I challenge my colleagues to self-manage
themselves by getting rid of a number of systems and
processes that no longer fit our culture. We have
generated a new social contract dictating that we
must offer a growth path to every one of our 23,000
employees. We have even built a fully fledged
university to provide training opportunities and help
people reach their full potential,” explains Mostafa.
In line with its mission to promote further
research and development, in 2014, OCP launched
the Mohammed VI Polytechnic University, a world-
class institution of higher learning, in Benguerir.
The university emphasises R&D in areas critical to
OCP’s development – such as mining, sustainable
development and industrial management – and to the
economic, social, higher education and environmental
future of Morocco.“Our relationship with OCP has evolved from that of a transactional
supplier of equipment to a long-term partner for products and
services. Decades ago, we developed special pumps for phosphates
applications together. Today we are supporting OCP with products,
services and reliability programs.” – Fred Meeke, Vice President,
