Shell Pilipinas Corporation (SPC) has received the Sustainability Rising Star Award at the ACES Awards, recognizing its initiatives across community engagement, employee volunteerism, circularity, and business operations.
The award highlights the company’s ongoing efforts to integrate sustainability into its operations while supporting employees, customers, and communities across the Philippines. Janet Z. Marc, Technical Advisor at Shell Pilipinas Corporation, accepted the recognition on behalf of the company.
Supporting Customers Through a Diverse Energy Portfolio
For more than a century, Shell Pilipinas has supplied energy products and services throughout the country. Its portfolio today includes fuels, lubricants, electric vehicle (EV) charging offers, and electricity-related solutions designed to serve different customer needs.
The company continues to expand access to EV charging through its network and commercial arrangements in the Philippines. It also offers products and services that may support customers looking to diversify their energy mix, depending on their individual needs and objectives.
Beyond its commercial activities, Shell Pilipinas continues to focus on responsible operations, employee engagement, and contributions to the communities where it operates.
Empowering Communities Through Employee Volunteerism
Through Shell ACTS (A Community That Serves), employees contribute their time and skills to community programmes across the country.
Around 1,900 employee volunteers have participated in various initiatives, including the installation of solar home systems that brought electricity access to 70 Dumagat households in Sto. Niño, Rizal.
These volunteer-led activities reflect the company’s commitment to encouraging employee participation and supporting communities through skills-based initiatives.
Advancing Circularity and Resource Recovery
Shell Pilipinas has also supported projects that promote resource recovery and the reuse of materials. Its retail station in Bulacan, for example, incorporated materials derived from processed plastic waste. Meanwhile, Ecohub projects in Batangas, Tacloban, and Cagayan de Oro have supported the production of ecobricks and ecocast products.
In partnership with the Plastics Credit Exchange, the company also supported the production and distribution of 110 bicycle racks made from approximately 3,000 kilograms of processed plastic waste.
Through the Shell Plasticycle Program, between four and six tonnes of used plastic pallets were transformed into more than 150 school armchairs for public schools.
Another initiative, ReShell: Weaving Waste Project, established a textile recovery and weaving hub in Payatas through a collaboration with ANTHILL, Maybank Foundation, and the Quezon City local government. The hub provides training and livelihood opportunities while turning textile waste into reusable materials.
Extending Community Impact Through PSFI
Through Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI), Shell companies in the Philippines continue to support programmes that respond to community needs. Now in its 44th year, PSFI reports that its initiatives have reached approximately 17 million beneficiaries.
In 2025, its community activities included mangrove planting and coastal clean-up initiatives. A total of 7,360 trees were planted across Batangas, La Union, Calapan, Palawan, Pasacao, Bacolod, Iloilo, Tagbilaran, Tacloban, and Cagayan de Oro.
In Palawan, around 200 participants planted 200 mangrove propagules in Barangay Bagong Silang. Shell and PSFI volunteers also took part in the International Coastal Cleanup in Puerto Princesa.

The Sustainability Rising Star Award at the ACES Awards recognizes Shell Pilipinas Corporation’s initiatives spanning employee volunteerism, community programmes, resource recovery, and operational projects.
The company said the recognition reflects the collective efforts of its employees, community organizations, and partners who have contributed to these programmes over time.
