Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)

National Oil Corporation of Kenya withholds integrity at the core of its business. By acknowledging our responsibility to the Kenyan society, we have developed a robust Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) plan as an integral part of our corporate culture. To highlight our commitment to achieve a positive impact in the society and the lives of our people, we commit a substantial budget annually to CSR projects and activities. Our CSR plan revolves around three main pillars; the environment, health and empowerment

National Oil’s objectives for this initiative are:

• To position National Oil as an environmentally-friendly business concerned with the preservation of the environment in which it works.
• To demonstrate our commitment to increasing Kenya’s green footprint.
• To promote the use of clean energy in Kenya as is part of the Government’s Big Four Agenda.

OUR PILLARS

• Environment

National Oil was tasked with oil exploration by the Government of Kenya. Although oil exploration brings forth many benefits to local communities and the country at large, a lot of excavation is done, taking a huge toll on the environment. We therefore made a commitment to preserve the environment and increase the country’s green footprint by actively engaging in projects and activities that safeguard the environment.

• Empowerment

Our comprehensive CSR plan seeks to enhance its reach and influence as well as foster sustainable community and capacity development. We purpose to give back to the community through high impact projects that focus on impacting future generations with a specific interest in women groups, the youth and people living with disabilities.

• Health

Ensuring healthy lives and promoting the well-being of people is essential to sustainable development. One of the key projects highlighted under the health pillar of our CSR plan is offering support to eye and respiratory health initiatives. National Oil endeavors to build awareness on matters relating to eye and respiratory health by promoting the use of clean energy for cooking as opposed to biomass fuels and partnering with institutions to organize special clinics for the public.
