This recent win underscores how
Pilipinas Shell’s
business principles are based on its core values of honesty, integrity, and
respect for people. With its core values as the foundation,
sustainability is truly woven into the fabric of Pilipinas Shell.

There are
three main themes that Shell CSR programs all over the world follow. The first
is to find opportunities to enable access to energy through different lenses,
by catalysing local energy markets and supporting entrepreneurs and partners in
the development and distribution of energy solutions. The second is to support
STEM education by equipping young people with vital skills and ‘habits of mind’
that STEM employers are increasingly demanding. The third focus is to create
jobs and economic development opportunities for local communities.

Among its numerous CSR programmes, Pilipinas Shell considers Movement Against
Malaria (MAM) and Gas Mo, Bukas Ko (GMBK, ‘You fuel my future’) as the flagship
advocacies that best demonstrate its commitment to nation-building

MOVEMENT AGAINST
MALARIA

The Movement Against Malaria (MAM) programme paved
the way for the attainment of the
Millennium Development Goal (MDG) of halting and reversing the burden of
malaria in the country way before the 2015 deadline.  In fact,the country now has 28 Provinces declared Malaria-Free and 31
Provinces have reached zero malaria status.

GAS MO, BUKAS KO (“You fuel my future”)

GMBK, a scholarship program, was set to support Filipino youths, specifically
Pilipinas Shell’s technically-capable gas attendants or their dependents, in
pursuing their studies. As of 2017, GMBK has sponsored over 1,600 scholars.
Approximately 85 percent of them took on bigger responsibilities as gas
attendants, while some were promoted to higher positions.

Pilipinas
Shell remains as the Filipino people’s partner in nation-building through its
program that not only provide energy to power the economy but touch millions of
lives. It continues to collaborate with its network of stakeholders to meet the
country’s energy needs while being conscious of its role as an enabler in
society. This is how Pilipinas Shell makes the future.
