May 26, 2008 By csr

The three companies that were singled out for honours for their CSR work in the 2007 Environment category pursue very different projects, and yet a passion and commitment towards conservation and environmental education is evident in each of them.

BP in Malaysia was named the winner for its longstanding role in advancing turtle conservation in Terengganu since 1999.  BP’s efforts to reverse the decline of the Green Turtle and the other three turtle species that nest in Terengganu’s beaches abundantly demonstrate a consistent long term approach to assuring the survival of these majestic animals.

BP turns the tide for turtles in Terengganu

May 16, 2008 By csr

BP in Malaysia has since 1999 collaborated with the Fisheries Department & WWF to set up and run the Ma’Daerah Turtle Sanctuary in Terengganu. Successful lobbying by the group has resulted in the State Government agreeing to gazette 25 hectares of beach at Ma’Daerah.

In addition, awareness building and fund raising activities, particularly among students & youth, have spread the conservation message to the wider Malaysian society.

BP Malaysia has also extended its environmental initiatives beyond species conservation. As part of a joint effort with the Centre for Environment, Technology and Development Malaysia (CETDEM), it has organised programmes to raise awareness of climate change in Malaysia and reducing its own greenhouse gas emissions.

BP Petronas Acetyls (BPPA) plant had achieved nine percent total reduction in CO2 emissions per ton of acetic acid produced by October 2003. Also, BP Chemicals’ PTA plant in Gebeng, Pahang has developed plans for the reduction of GHG in 2004 which will include the installation of two turboespander off-gas preheaters which is expected to reduce GHG emissions by 9,000 tons per year and an off-gas energy recovery plan in 2005 which will reduce GHG emissions by 170,000 tons per year.
