Promoting Sustainability through the Refilling Program at Petronas HSE Day

At Petronas, sustainability and safety go hand-in-hand. During this year’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) Day, one of the highlights was the introduction of the Refilling Program, aimed at reducing plastic waste and promoting eco-friendly practices among employees.

 

What is the Refilling Program?

The Refilling Program encourages participants to bring their own reusable bottles or containers, which can be filled with Zero Waste Earth Store’s Refill Booth stations. This simple but impactful initiative directly supports Petronas’ broader environmental goals, such as reducing single-use plastics and minimizing waste generated at events. By offering refilling stations, Petronas not only cuts down on the use of disposable plastic bottles but also promotes a culture of sustainability within its community.
