External Social Responsibility
1. Social Partnership and Sponsorship
To provide support and financial aid to socially vulnerable
sectors, The Rompetrol Group gathered its initiatives within
the CSR platform “Energy comes from the heart” (launched in
May 2009) - which includes a national program, “Together for
each and everyone”, and separate programs in the fields of
healthcare and environment protection, the two directions the
Group has decided to support.
At the Group level, in 2010, the invested amount in social
causes exceeded 1 million USD.
In 2010, the national program“Together for each and
everyone”considered 509 projects (six times more as
compared to 2009) registered on the website
www.impreunapentrufiecare.ro until June 13, 2010 (323 in
the healthcare field and 188 in environment protection).
After the evaluation period, 20 projects were financed (13 in
healthcare and 7 in environment protection) in counties as
Alba, Arad, Argeş, Bacău, Bihor, Braşov, Buzău, Caraş-Severin,
Constanța, Galați, Hunedoara, Mureş, Sălaj, Sibiu and Bucharest.
All projects had two overlapping parts: one which consisted in
the restoration of medical care units in rural and urban areas,
or the construction of water collectors, eco plants for water
recycling, solar panels for schools, and a second component
which consisted in educational and cultural activities for the
members of the communities. The total invested amount for
the implementation of the 20 selected projects exceeded USD
300,000.
Several projects on healthcare and environment protection
were developed in 2010 as part of the platform“Energy comes
from the heart”.
In the healthcare field, The Rompetrol Group, The SMURD
Foundation and the General Inspectorate of Aviation
(IGAV) entered a partnership for supporting air emergency
interventions, the movement of medical personnel and the
transportation of victims. In this cooperation, the Rompetrol
Group, through Rompetrol Rafinare, provided in 2010 a
monthly amount of 30 tons of Jet A 1 fuel, the quantity
estimated for the operation of the two helicopters in Bucharest
and Târgu Mureş, the total value of the support provided
amounting to approximately USD 240,000.
In the field of environment protection, the Rompetrol Group
and the Tourist Association“The Guides of Romania”supported
and organized in July 2010 the project titled MONTANIADA,
the first Mountain Olympics of Romania. The main objective
was to combine ecology with educational activities, civic and
sports spirit.
In the field of environment protection, Ecomaster, company
member of The Rompetrol Group, supported the first Waste
Museum in Europe. It was launched in November 2010, under
the Ministry of Environment and Forests patronage, and in
only 2 months attracted more than 5,000 visitors and hosted
over 30 seminars and events on environmental protection
issues. By supporting this initiative as one of the main partners,
Ecomaster intends to give the industrial and hazardous waste
the deserved importance, beside the household waste, and
to initiate the public, mass media, NGOs and authorities on
the efficient waste management and treating technologies
owned by the company.
