“Harmony through responsibility” are the words that best reflect the PetroKazakhstan Group belief. We believe that the Group’s main objective is to be in harmony with the environment, legislation, employees, the local public and also moral principles. PetroKazakhstan will not accept maximizing profit at any price.

As one of the largest vertically integrated oil and gas companies in the South Kazakhstan and Kyzylorda Oblasts, PetroKazakhstan plays the role of regional economic leader, which would be impossible if it did not comply with corporate social responsibility (CSR) standards. CSR principles are important guides that allow us to put international business standards in place gradually, and build relations with the authorities and society. Following CSR principles is a prerogative not only for top management but also for every PetroKazakhstan employee. This operating style helps and benefits all parties: the government, employees and their families, consumers and the local population, as well as shareholders.

Social responsibility

A corner stone of PetroKazakhstan’s social awareness is ensuring work safety for all employees, looking after the health of its employees through a medical insurance system, developing human resources through training programs, and also protecting the environment by implementing a comprehensive management system. PetroKazakhstan recognizes its social responsibility to the people of the Kyzylorda and South Kazakhstan Oblasts – regions in which the company operates, where its employees live and work.

The Company realizes grant programs, such as correspondence courses for PetroKazakhstan employees; a grant program for employees’ children, and also to educate talented youngsters from Kyzylorda Oblast in China and at Kazakhstan’s best higher education institutions.

PetroKazakhstan is one of the largest sponsors of social and charity projects in Kazakhstan. The company has signed memorandums of cooperation with the authorities in the Kyzylorda and South Kazakhstan Oblasts to ensure that the regions receive constant social support.

PetroKazakhstan has played a pivotal role in creating the Demeu social fund together with the Kyzylorda Oblast akimat. Demeu is a non-commercial organization created to finance socially significant projects using donations from the region’s many oil and gas companies.

Since it started its operations in Kazakhstan, PetroKazakhstan has allocated millions of USD for sponsorship and charity. Our policy has always been based on social support, especially in the regions where we have operations.
