Argentina
el trapial plant guide
In 2022, Chevron Argentina scientists created a site plant guide. Guides like this one can be used to set environmental baselines. They give valuable information to researchers, planners and others working with natural resources.
By the end of 2023, the team had identified about 230 species. These included over 60 plants and over 160 types of animals.
Australia
sustainability at HQ
Chevron Australia’s new headquarters is designed with health and well-being in mind. Nature takes focus in the 29-story tower. Its design cues are inspired by the local environment.
Thousands of plants inhabit the workspace. Floor-to-ceiling windows on all sides provide natural light and views of the nearby river and parklands. Artwork publicly displayed celebrates the Whadjuk people’s culture, traditions and connection to the waterfront.
Belgium
reducing plastic waste
In 2023, the Chevron Belgium BV lubricants facility in Ghent began using a different type of “stretch foil,” a plastic film that stretches tight to wrap packaging. This resulted in an estimated 7% reduction over the year as compared with the previous plastic film usage.
Colombia
the energy reefs project
In 2023, Chevron Petroleum Company provided funding to help Corales de Paz create the Energy Reefs project. It’s a project that supports the nonprofit Reef Check citizen science program.
The team in Colombia joins local experts and community members on expeditions to study and help conserve the local coral and reefs.
Cyprus
the tiganokinisi caravan
In 2023, Chevron sponsored a mobile information and science education caravan. Scientists visit schools and events in rural communities. They show how used cooking oil can be turned into usable biodiesel.
Our contributions helped cover supplies and operating expenses, including purchasing a vehicle to pull the caravan from event to event. We were proud to have received a volunteerism award for our sponsorship.
India
miller center for social entrepreneurship
Chevron contributed to Miller Center for Social Entrepreneurship. This supports Asia-Pacific enterprises that have the potential to grow and scale their social and economic impact. With our three-year gift of $1 million, Miller Center aims to provide focused support for entrepreneurs. They will also share insights with other accelerator programs and the larger social entrepreneurship ecosystem.
South Africa
chevron engineering leadership program
Students took part in the Chevron Engineering Leadership Program in 2023. Their focus: to create a "Waste to Wealth" design that turns waste into a useful product.
Chevron experts shared experiences and design expertise with students. Then, students spent two weeks answering critical questions, solving problems and refining creative ideas. They brought prototypes to life through 3D-printing and laser-cutting technology.
