The Danish public sector has acclaimed Statoil as its supplier of the year for 1998.
This annual award was presented at the combined annual conference and exhibition for suppliers of goods and services to central and local government in Denmark, which took place recently at Brøndby.
Seventy-four public-sector buyers were asked by the Danish daily Politiken and the show organiser to name their choice of winner, and to provide a justification for their decision.
Responses emphasised Statoil's image as an environmentally-aware and reliable supplier of petrol and oil products to the public sector. These factors put the group ahead of other suppliers.
Jørgen Bahl from Marketing accepted the diploma on behalf of Statoil Denmark.
