Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation is more than just an energy provider—it is a company driven by its core values of honesty, integrity, and respect for people. As an integrated downstream refining and marketing company, it transforms crude oil into refined products for domestic, industrial, and transport use. However, its mission extends beyond fuel, encompassing sustainability, social responsibility, and nation-building.
Commitment to Sustainability
Since 1976, Pilipinas Shell has upheld its general business principles, balancing short- and long-term interests while integrating economic, environmental, and social considerations into decision-making. Sustainability is deeply embedded in its operations across three levels. While running a profitable business, the company prioritizes the safety and well-being of employees, contractors, and surrounding communities through strict global standards and annual sustainability reporting. It also plays an active role in economic development by creating jobs, developing skills, sourcing from local suppliers, and improving industry standards. Beyond these efforts, Pilipinas Shell is committed to shaping a more sustainable energy future by promoting responsible energy use and reducing emissions.
Making a Difference Through Social Development
For over a century, Pilipinas Shell has been a dedicated corporate citizen in the Philippines. Through its social arm, Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI), the company implements award-winning community programs focusing on skills development, energy access, education, environmental conservation, health, disaster resilience, and road safety. Employees actively participate in social initiatives through Shell ACTS (A Community That Serves), a volunteerism program that allows them to contribute their expertise to STEM education and community development projects.
Flagship CSR Programs
The Movement Against Malaria (MAM) began as Kilusan Ligtas Malaria (KLM) in 1999, successfully reducing malaria cases in Palawan through early diagnosis and treatment. With support from the Global Fund, the program expanded to 40 provinces across the Philippines, significantly lowering malaria mortality and morbidity rates. Gas Mo, Bukas Ko (GMBK) is another key initiative, providing scholarships to Filipino youth, particularly Pilipinas Shell’s gas station attendants and their dependents. As of 2017, over 1,600 scholars have benefited, with many advancing in their careers within the company.
Partnering with Communities for a Brighter Future
Pilipinas Shell believes that strong relationships with communities lead to sustainable business success. By engaging with local stakeholders and investing in social programs, the company secures its social license to operate while contributing to the country’s progress. Through innovation, sustainability, and social responsibility, Pilipinas Shell continues to fuel not just the economy but also the aspirations of millions of Filipinos. This is how it makes the future.
