Social responsibility is understood as a sustainable commitment to cooperation with the environment where we operate. We prove our socially responsible attitude by supporting numerous sports, cultural, humanitarian and environmental projects. We help the wider social and local communities to develop a more diverse and healthier lifestyle, and thus to a higher quality of life.

The Petrol Group has long been recognized as one of the largest supporters of Slovenian and regional sports. Through sponsorships, we contribute to the development of various sports disciplines and to the success and growth of athletes in Slovenia and the region. We sponsor individuals, clubs, associations, and sports events at both national and international levels. By supporting sports and culture, we enhance the company's reputation and increase the visibility of our own brands.

The dream of every top athlete is to compete at the Olympic Games. Through our sponsorship of Slovenia's leading sports organization, the Olympic Committee of Slovenia – Association of Sports Federations, Petrol has been helping Slovenian athletes achieve this dream for many years.

We have a long-standing tradition of supporting winter sports, with a particular focus on the Ski Association of Slovenia and its alpine skiing teams. For many years, we have sponsored all age categories of these teams. As a personal sponsor, we support top athlete and currently the best competitor in technical alpine disciplines, Žan Kranjec. Additionally, in 2024, we sponsored the FIS Snowboard World Cup event, Rogla 2024.

The Petrol Group is also actively involved in summer sports. As one of the largest sponsors, we support the Basketball Federation of Slovenia, the Football Association of Slovenia, the Volleyball Federation of Slovenia, the Tennis Association of Slovenia, the Gymnastics Federation of Slovenia, and numerous larger and smaller clubs, including KK Cedevita Olimpija, HDD Jesenice, NK Bravo, KK Domžale, TK Branik Maribor, and other smaller sports teams.

Humanitarian projects 

Through the project Our Energy Connects, we supported organizations and individuals in local communities for the 14th consecutive year in 2024. As part of the project, each service station in Slovenia proposes a humanitarian project, to which we allocate €200. In total, we supported 135 different humanitarian projects carried out by non-profit organizations. Over the 14 years of this project, we have donated more than €860,000 to local humanitarian initiatives.

In 2024, we donated €10,000 to the Slovenia Forest Service, which was used to restore nearly 20 hectares of Slovenian forests. Petrol employees also participated in reforestation activities.

At the end of 2024, we organized the charity campaign Together We Help, joining forces with Petrol Club members, the Red Noses Association, and the Slovenia Forest Service. The goal was to collect Golden Points for a good cause – 1,000 children's smiles and 1,600 honey-bearing trees. The funds raised, amounting to €10,000, will be used by the Red Noses Association to support their activities in Slovenian hospitals, while the Slovenia Forest Service will use the funds to supplement natural regeneration with seedlings of honey-bearing forest tree species.
 

The charity campaign Collecting Cents, which we first launched at the end of 2022 in collaboration with the Ski Association of Slovenia to support young promising alpine skiers, was continued in 2024. In addition to "skiing cents," the campaign was expanded to include "tennis cents" to support young talented tennis players and "Gogi's cents" to assist young aspiring basketball players. With the help of customers at Petrol service stations, who chose to round up their purchase amounts, we raised and donated over €220,800 in 2024 to support young promising athletes.

In the field of sustainability, employees of the Petrol Group have the opportunity to join the Sustainability Ambassadors community. We also have access to the Me Too! portal, which aims to foster closer collaboration and connection among employees in promoting environmental awareness and sustainable practices to reduce our carbon footprint. Employees are encouraged and expected to follow guidelines for the efficient use of heating, cooling, ventilation, lighting, and electrical devices. This effort is further supported by the campaign Be a Hero for Your Environment.
