It is not just about what we deliver; but how we deliver. We strive to produce and deliver energy responsibly – in a way that respects people’s dignity, safeguards their well-being, and protects their environment. We employ global standards in managing health, safety, and the environment. We also engage the communities, and stakeholders we work with, to continuously improve our performance.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur strategy is designed to reinforce our position as a leading energy company that adapts and evolves as the Philippines’ energy system transforms. This strategy sustained us for the last 105 years. In 2019, this responsiveness to the operating environment enabled Pilipinas Shell’s to post double-digit earnings growth despite low regional refining margins and higher excise taxes for our products.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur marketing business is very strong. In 2019, we grew our retail network to 1,126 stations nationwide. We also maintained a world class premium fuel penetration of 27%, one of the highest in the Shell Group. We opened 13 Select, 7 deli2go, and 39 Shell Helix Oil Change+ (SHOC+) and Helix Service Centers (HSC) during the year as our non-fuels retail segment grew by 15% versus the prior year.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EMeanwhile, the Company’s commercial segment, which covers lubricants, bitumen, aviation and commercial fuels, posted an overall volume growth of 9%. Our Lubricants business delivered volume growth – with Shell Advance, Shell Helix and Shell Rimula emerging as the most preferred brands in the market. Bitumen and aviation grew their margins significantly compared to 2018. We reaped the benefits of our investment in the bitumen production facility in Tabangao – the only one of its kind in the country – in its first year of operation.

You will recall that Pilipinas Shell was an early adopter of Euro IV-PH fuels. We were also among the first to make biofuels from sustainable sources. We already have a reliable partner in and strong ties to local coconut farmers, through our Project Coconut initiative. We also recently broke ground in the construction of the first industrial-scale solar farm located at our oil refinery, considered as one of the largest in Southeast Asia.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EIn 2019, Pilipinas Shell became the first company to introduce eco-friendly bitumen, Bitumen FreshAir, in the country. Bitumen FreshAir is a market-tested product that inhibits the chemical compounds that are the sources of gases, particulates, and odor-releasing molecules. This inhibiting effect, which can last up to two weeks after paving, benefits both the asphalting crew and the community.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur product portfolio continues to evolve with the times. We develop product innovations that are future- fluent and have long-term benefits for society at large. We revolutionize the energy industry landscape by developing and introducing differentiated products – from high performance, energy-efficient fuels to high-efficiency lubricants to eco-friendly bitumen.\u003Cbr\u003E\r\nWe are helping our community with their energy transition by consistently giving them high-quality, on-grade, and on-spec products.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003ECreating and sharing value \u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EWe continue to be a good neighbor by improving the living conditions of the communities where we operate, by providing access to energy, opportunities for livelihood, and extending various forms of assistance to the government and to the people during times of crisis like the coronavirus pandemic. Our assistance and donations have gone a long way in protecting thousands of lives, especially the medical frontliners. We energize the communities where we conduct business by creating employment opportunities, paying the correct taxes, and by developing local supply chains.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur Pilipinas Shell Foundation Inc. (PSFI) has empowered the lives of more than 14 million Filipinos, through several social investment programs that focus on STEM education, community skills, and enterprise development.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe Company has also been leading positive and progressive industry changes. Pilipinas Shell has been working with policy makers that would contribute to a fair and sustainable industry. The Company expresses its full support for the Government’s fuel marking program to minimize oil smuggling. Shell’s North Mindanao Import Facility and the Tabangao refinery are the first terminal and refinery to undergo fuel marking in Mindanao and in the country, respectively.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Ch3\u003EMaking our way to the next 105 years \u003C/h3\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThroughout its 105-year presence in the Philippines, Pilipinas Shell has experienced its share of regional economic crises, socio-political disruptions, and industrial shifts.

We have incorporated cleaner energy solutions in our facilities, including solar panels in our retail stations, and natural gas at the refinery.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EOur latest project is the construction of an Integrated Energy System in Tabangao that will enable us to harness both solar and natural gas, and to store energy through a battery system. This project, upon completion, is expected to reduce our carbon footprint equivalent to planting half a million trees.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ESince 2017, we have also expanded our carbon sink management program in Tabangao, which allows us to offset some of our emissions, by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere. Additionally, we are part of a product chain that transforms byproducts such as sulfur and carbon dioxide, into input products used by other industries.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe future of energy is still very much evolving, and it is therefore imperative that we lay down today the foundations for a resilient, adaptive, and future-ready business and organization.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELet’s continue powering progress together for the next 105 years to come.\u003C/p\u003E\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u003Cb\u003ECesar G.
