PetroSA
Who We Are
PetroSA regards BBBEE as a deliberate socio-economic process or intervention strategy designed to redress the imbalances of the past and to facilitate the participation of black people in the economy. The drive for societal and industry transformation is not only an attempt to redress historical imbalances, but is in recognition of the fact that promoting transformation in the workplace will ultimately improve organisational performance.
Our main focus is on five of the seven BBBEE elements as per the BBBEE Code of Good Practise, namely:
1. Employment Equity
2. Skills Development
3. Preferential Procurement
4. Enterprise Development
5. Socio-Economic Development
The CSI programme focuses on:
• Education • Community Development • Environment and Sustainable Development • Health

PetroSA's CSI programme supports the overaching objectives of creating a better life for all South Africans. To this end PetroSA has invested more than R210 million on developmental projects.
Education: PetroSA recognises the value and importance of education, as such the company spends a substantial portion of its CSI funds supporting programmes which are aligned to education.
Health: PetroSA's contributions in the health sector are primarily aimed at addressing the critical challenges of HIV/Aids by concentrating on areas of deficiency in healthcare services. These contributions are meant to benefit areas and communities in the disadvantaged areas.
Community Development: In this area, preference is given to integrated community initiatives that target the needs of previously disadvantaged. These may include poverty alleviation, Adult Basic Education and Training, job creation and disaster relief.
Environment: PetroSA is committed to protecting the environment, and ensuring that it is kept as prestine as possible. Support in this area is directed towards conservation projects, including sustainable clean-up projects and subsistence agricultural initiatives.

It has been much debated that for any economy to prosper the development of sustainable small scale enterprises that operate in the so called second economy is an answer.
