Corporate Social Responsibility<br />

As it grows, KUFPEC continues to advance its core petroleum business and pursue more economic opportunities, KUFPEC never loses<br />

sight of its corporate social responsibility which has been given a high position on the company’s agenda of priorities.<br />

Guided by its core values and principles, KUFPEC has always endeavored to make a positive<br />

impact in society at home and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship with the communities<br />

where it operates. In this context, KUFPEC has, over the years, made substantial contributions to<br />

road building, schools, religious institutions, medical and other facilities in fulfilling its mission to<br />

contribute to the welfare of these communities and their inhabitants.<br />

Recent examples of such social outreach and the responsible role KUFPEC plays included the<br />

donations and support the company provided for recovery efforts in the wake of the devastating<br />

drought crisis in Somalia and to support the Pakistan flood victims in addition to the donation<br />

provided to Kuwait Fire Service Directorate as well as the sponsoring of the North Africa Technical<br />

Exhibition and Conference (NATC) in Cairo, Egypt.<br />
