Petron strengthens sustainability drive

Petron Corporation announced significant progress in energy efficiency at its Petron Bataan Refinery (PBR) in Limay, Bataan — the largest and most advanced refinery in the country. The company reported that in 2024, it successfully reduced its energy consumption by nearly 366,000 gigajoules through energy recovery, resource optimization, and other process improvements. These milestones reinforce Petron’s commitment to sustainability and carbon minimization.

The Bataan Refinery, which serves as the heart of Petron’s operations, plays a vital role not only in ensuring energy security but also in driving the province’s economic growth. As the biggest taxpayer in Bataan, Petron significantly contributes to local revenues that fund development projects, social programs, and infrastructure improvements. The refinery also provides thousands of direct and indirect jobs to Bataan residents, supporting the livelihood of local families and communities.

Beyond its economic impact, Petron continues to strengthen its environmental initiatives, integrating cleaner technologies and process innovations to minimize emissions and waste. The company actively promotes energy-efficient practices and resource conservation measures that align with global standards for sustainable industrial operations.

Petron’s corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs in Bataan likewise highlight its commitment to community development. The company regularly supports educational initiatives, including scholarships, training programs, and school-based projects that benefit students in Limay and nearby municipalities. These efforts are complemented by various outreach activities promoting health, safety, and environmental awareness among youth and residents.

Petron reaffirmed that its sustainability initiatives, particularly those anchored at the Bataan Refinery, demonstrate its long-term goal of fueling progress responsibly.
