Community and Public Affairs

We aim to be a good neighbour in our communities.

This is more than operating safely and cleanly; it also includes the integration of goals for the safety of our people and the environment. We understand the need to actively communicate with the community and all stakeholders so that concerns are addressed.

Our refineries and operating sites are key members of our local communities. As a result, we aim to support and strengthen our ties with these communities. We support local projects, initiatives and funding of charitable organizations through donations. Petroplus supports charitable programs and activities that promote the well-being and quality of life of our employees and their families, and invests in the communities where our employees live and work.

Each of our local management teams has the flexibility to develop public affairs and community support programs that are tailored to each community.

Activities at our refineries currently include:

• support of local fire brigades and safety organizations;
• support of local air quality initiatives;
• support of local bio diversity;
• support of local community initiatives for well-being;
• close cooperation programs with local authorities; and
• proactive communications programs with local communities, authorities and organizations.
