TES Joins Exclusive Blue Wave Supplier Development Program Sponsored by Woodside Energy
August 26th 2025
TES is proud to announce its selection into the exclusive Blue Wave Supplier Development Program, an economic development initiative designed to elevate businesses to global standards. Out of hundreds of Louisiana companies that applied, TES is honored to be among the select few chosen to participate.
Last week, TES COO Stephen Stamm and Customer Success Coordinator Keely Trail attended the program’s kick-off meeting alongside representatives from Woodside Energy, including Paa-Joe Akoto-Ampaw, Vice President, Gulf of America. The event marked the kickoff of the latest Blue Wave cohort, continuing the program’s mission to strengthen global supply chains while preparing Louisiana businesses for large-scale energy opportunities.
A Growth Milestone for TES
Participation in the Blue Wave Program is more than recognition, it’s a strategic step forward. The initiative provides hands-on training and consulting in critical areas such as corporate policies, finance, quality assurance, cybersecurity, HSE, and ESG standards.
“Joining the Blue Wave program is a pivotal step in our growth strategy,” said Stamm. “This opportunity allows us to formalize our processes to meet global standards and actively contribute to one of the most significant energy projects in our state’s history.”
Customer Success Coordinator Keely Trail echoed this sentiment, emphasizing the program’s immediate benefits:
“The training modules and consulting support from Blue Wave will directly benefit how we serve our clients. It’s about more than just compliance, it’s about refining our services to be more efficient, more reliable, and building stronger partnerships.”
Supporting Louisiana’s Largest Investment Project
TES’s involvement connects directly to Woodside’s $17.5 billion LNG project in Louisiana, the largest single foreign direct investment in the state’s history. Beyond creating thousands of jobs and billions in tax revenue, the project represents a generational opportunity for local businesses to step up as trusted suppliers.
By participating in the Blue Wave program, TES is helping ensure that Louisiana companies aren’t just part of the conversation but are also at the forefront of driving world-class standards in environmental, health, and safety consulting.
