22 Celebrating Mother Earth with Environmentally-Friendly Shell Product Shell intensified its advocacy on the preservation of the environment during the 336th Makati Foundation Day celebration in May 2006. Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation (PSPC) participated in the grand parade with a float that promoted a "smoke-free Makati City". The parade ushered PSPC's environmental advocacy as showcased by its float design concept "Biyaheng Makati, Biyaheng Smoke-Free with Shell Diesoline Ultra", that effectively highlighted the various benefits of using this Shell product. The float design communicated PSPC's commitment to protect the environment, one of the key principles of Sustainable Development. "Celebrate Mother Earth" was the theme of the 2006 celebration. The event showcased activities that promoted unity and social responsibility especially in preserving the environment and fostering environmental awareness amongst Makati residents. Health, Safety & Environment Report 2006 Bawas Basura sa Barangay (Triple B) In an effort to promote proper waste management and recycling in the communities around its Pandacan Depot, Shell implemented the Triple B or Bawas Basura sa Barangay. Triple B is a waste management system that aims to assist the barangays in establishing and managing their own waste management system. Created in 2001, it enables residents around the Pandacan depot to practice cleanliness and proper waste disposal through waste segregation schemes as well as derive additional income through the processing and selling of wastes. The programme has adopted a four-pronged strategy to build up the environmental concerns of the community: local capability building; provision of facilities and equipment; information and education campaign; and enterprise development. Numerous barangays in Pandacan, Manila are actively participating in the programme which has made residents more aware of the importance of managing waste and promoted recycling not only as an earth-friendly measure but also as a profitable source of livelihood.
BIODIVERSITY CONSERVATION Shell recognises the fact that biodiversity - the extraordinary variety of life on earth - is fundamental and crucial to human existence. This is the reason why the company is committed to operating responsibly and is constantly looking for ways to integrate biodiversity considerations into its work around the world - from watershed conservation to formulating products that minimise harm to the environment. Saving the La Mesa Watershed Strongly committed to environmental preservation as defined in its Business Principles, Shell intensified its support for the Save the La Mesa Watershed project with the ABS-CBN Foundation Inc. (Bantay Kalikasan), which is meant to rehabilitate, protect, and develop the watershed that provides Metro Manila its water. Aside from the adoption of 10 hectares of the La Mesa Forest and 25,200 square metres of the Shell Flower Terraces in the La Mesa Ecopark, Shell supported the coin bank drive through the donation of 10,000 cans used to raise funds for the environmental programmes to save the La Mesa Watershed. The La Mesa Watershed has an area of 2,700 hectares covering the cities of Quezon, Marikina and Caloocan, and the province of Rizal. It is one of three (3) watersheds providing water to 12 million residents in Metro Manila. La Mesa currently has seventy-two (72) indigenous Filipino species and a gene bank for endangered species. Saving the Philippine Eagle Pilipinas Shell Petroleum Corporation (PSPC) and the Philippine Eagle Foundation (PEF) are in a continuous crusade to save the Philippine Eagle and its habitat. PSPC reiterated its commitment when it adopted another eagle, Magiting, a sub-adult male Philippine Eagle turned over to PEF in September 2002. PSPC joins a select group of eagle supporters who have been contributing annually to the Pag-Asa Support Fund since 1992. The fund fuels research and conservation breeding work needed to bring back the dwindling population of the eagles in the country. PSPC and PEF started its partnership in 1987 to save the endangered national bird from extinction. A major milestone was achieved with the birth of Pag-Asa (Hope) - the first Philippine Eagle bred and hatched in captivity. The bird was bred using cooperative artificial insemination techniques while hatching was achieved by combining natural and artifical incubation. The Philippine Eagle is the barometer of the health of the rainforest ecosystem in the country. Their conservation contributes to Sustainable Development (SD) and improves the quality of human life by maintaining biological diversity and environmental health.
