STRATEGY
Balancing social and environmental considerations
in meeting the current as well as future energy
needs underpin the Group’s commitment to
generating long-term business value.
Context:
Energy is an essential component for growth, with
crude oil and natural gas constituting a significant
portion of the global energy mix. The projected
increase in global population, growing urbanisation
rate and the quest to support burgeoning
socio-economic developments collectively
intensify the need for energy resources. The
challenge herein lies in meeting increasing energy
needs while being mindful of the changing social
and environmental landscape, conscious that
energy resources are finite.

Code of Practice on Chemicals Classification and Hazard Communication
2014. Collectively, the revisions further enhanced the management of onsite
chemicals, with a view of minimising exposure to possible health effects. A
more stringent chemical approval process was implemented, whereby
incoming chemicals categorised as highly hazardous must be thoroughly
screened and assessed for replacement. Any exceptions must obtain approval
from the relevant Group Technical Authority.
PRODUCT STEWARDSHIP
Context:
The Downstream Business, in particular, produces an array of chemicals for
use across multiple industries, and formulates fuels and lubricants. The use of
chemicals sourced externally also facilitates day-to-day operations, requiring
strict adherence to PETRONAS’ safety and health requirements.
Approach:
PETRONAS’ product stewardship practices are aligned with industry good
practices such as that by the United Nations Strategic Approach to
International Chemicals Management (SAICM) 2020 goals. The Group’s
product lifecycle management approach encompasses prudent risk
assessments to ensure the substances developed and chemicals utilised
across its operations are safe for people and the environment. The Group’s
dedicated team of internal experts spearhead the development of Safety Data
Sheets (SDS) for the products it manufactures and undertakes continuous
hazard communication. This is central to the aim of achieving sustainable
sound chemical management and ongoing engagements with stakeholders
to communicate HSE measures such as safe handling of chemicals and
transportation of dangerous goods. Simultaneously, this ensures the Group
delivers more efficient products formulated using innovative solutions which
offer superior quality, meeting evolving stakeholder requirements through

improvement in knowledge levels and soft skills such as creativity
and communication abilities. Trainings were also provided to the
facilitators and local community members on ways to effectively
execute these programmes, in making learning a fun concept for

benefitted children and adults alike, via job opportunities. Children

two seminars on licensing processes and procurement governance for local
vendors. We also established three licensing counters, namely, in Kuching,
Bintulu and Miri to facilitate applications of licenses. As a result, the number of
