At PETRACON, we believe that organisations and the societies in which they do business are in a symbiotic relationship. This is why we have taken Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) as a core of our existence right from the inception of the company over two and half years ago. Our aim is to be the best organisation in the area of CSR. That is why we have a PETRACON Helping Hearts Programme through which we have initiated, developed and executed a good number of successful projects and sustainable initiatives. As a trading, construction and petroleum company, we are fortunate to have employees who are actively engaged in all our CSR activities. This commitment has in no small measure impacted positively on our host communities and the society at large.
In order to continue to expand our scope, the next phase is to actively engage our vendors/clients in our Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives and efforts, hence giving them an opportunity to be involved with a Company that is focused on giving back to the society.
While we believe that the government has a major role to play in fixing the myriads of problems in every community, we believe that private organisations and business enterprises can also partner government in solving these problems. This is where we come in as a responsible organisation. We believe that CSR in the community is like a wide farmland – every man chooses the acreage to till.
Our CSR drive as an organisation stands on a tripod:
- Education & Awareness
- The Environment
- Health & Social Welfare
We believe that they are three key aspects of societal needs that we cannot afford to overlook. We have mechanisms in place and so many initiatives that are tailored towards meeting these needs. Our strong commitment to these needs explains why a significant part of our earnings as a promising company is committed towards supporting structures, initiatives and life-transforming projects. This belief has been the driving force behind our support for various initiatives over the years. To achieve this noble objective, we:
- Strive to reinforce strong, healthy Community Relations by identifying with host communities in activities that have meaning to them.
- Maintain high standards of Integrity in our relations with federal, state governments and host communities.
- Strive to play a leading role by identifying with and seeking solutions to the problems of society especially those in our immediate operational environments.
