Always mindful of the vital importance of bringing people together and contributing to their benefit, we play an active role in initiatives and associations that exist to improve the lives and living conditions of our fellow human beings.

We keenly support social solidarity programs island-wide by assisting their efforts to help the public and address social problems. Our aim is to offer aid and support to vulnerable groups and individuals, wherever they may be. With the creation of the Petrolina Community volunteer group, not just our employees but also our service station dealers and their families, actively participate in all these initiatives, generously donating their time and energy to worthy causes.

The annual Petrolina Charity Festival in Larnaka, established as a tradition, holds a leading position among our numerous charitable activities. It never fails to attract thousands of enthusiastic visitors of all ages, and has already supported such groups as the Social Community Markets of Cyprus, Europa Donna Cyprus, the charity "Goal in Life", and the “Mora Thavmata” Association in Cyprus. Not only has our festival been warmly embraced by the public, giving them the opportunity to contribute to their fellow citizens, but it also draws scores of volunteers, eager to participate in its organization. Through this event, the values of voluntary service and love for others are promoted, sending out a message of hope and humanity.

The cultural heritage of a country determines its present character and guides its future path, forming an essential part of its identity. Therefore we sponsor activities related to education and the cultural-historical heritage of Cyprus. We support major artistic events, theatrical performances, festivals, conferences and workshops, with a view to promoting and maintaining not only the uniqueness of our home culture, but also towards the opening up of new cultural horizons.

Sport is one of life’s most joyful and beneficial activities, that’s why we support federations, clubs, academies and major sporting events throughout the island. In this way we proudly promote those timeless values inherent in all sports and athletic pursuits such as determination, teamwork, discipline and fair play.

We also support athletes, boosting their efforts locally and internationally. Since 2018 we have sponsored Olympian Pavlos Kontides, who was also awarded the title "World Sailor of the Year”, making the whole country proud. Also, within the framework of the Cyprus Olympic Committee’s program "Adopt an athlete on the way to Tokyo 2020", we "adopted" gymnast Marios Georgiou. These two top athletes embody the principles and values that should define every athlete: integrity, perseverance and dedication.

In addition to the above we support, among others, the International Limassol Marathon, the International Larnaka Marathon, the Cyprus Ski Federation and Club, and the Cyprus Swimming Federation.

We also have a dynamic presence in motorsports. The Petrolina Racing Team competes successfully in the renowned Cyprus Rally Championship, conquering in recent years the top-ranked positions.

We also sponsor various Municipal cultural events, Christmas and sports academy events, while we award cash prizes to top-ranking high school students and university students.

Taking into account the provisions of the European Green Deal, our company adopts policies and strategies to ensure its sustainability.

We demonstrate a responsible environmental approach in all our business activities, whether this involves the simple management of recyclable materials in our offices, or the recycling of liquid and solid materials in our fuel terminal and service stations. We also invest in renewable energy sources by using solar power in our service stations, and have introduced the environmentally-friendly P-EnergyMax automotive fuels, which help in reducing emissions.

In 2016 we covered all the fuel costs of the aircraft used to extinguish fires in the Solea area.
