Engaging our EMPLOYEES.

At the heart of Petron’s success in its CSR endeavors is the active involvement of Petron employees. As much as 80% of the company’s workforce has contributed their time, talent, or treasure in almost every CSR activity.

Through VOLUNTEERISM IN ACTION or VIA, Petron is able to exhibit the kind of corporate leadership where promises are fulfilled, commitments are honored and pronouncements are lived up to. With VIA, the company has been able to do so with programs that engage the employees, the earliest going back to 1988. Quite fittingly, the acronym VIA also best describes how the volunteerism program appeals to employees: VIA is a way, a path or an opportunity by which employees can get directly involved in doing good for society in whatever way they can.

By taking part in the various CSR programs, Petron employees are able to go beyond their professional chores and be involved in making a difference in society, be it planting trees, distributing relief goods, building houses, telling stories to grade school children, sharing time with street kids or cleaning the coast. It is during these instances that the employees get a deeper sense of fulfillment in what they do for others, and galvanizes their commitment to serve beyond their duties.
