Phoenix Petroleum, through Phoenix Philippines Foundation, Inc., joined thousands of volunteers worldwide in the 2025 International Coastal Cleanup held on September 20, 2025, reinforcing its drive to protect the country’s coastlines and marine life.
Phoenix employees, together with local residents, fanned out across 10 coastal sites near the company’s depots and LPG plants, collecting 316 sacks of trash ranging from plastic waste to other debris. The nationwide activity covered key facilities in Batangas, Bacolod, Aklan, Davao, General Santos, Villanueva, Zamboanga, Iligan, and two locations in Cebu.
“This annual cleanup reflects our shared responsibility to care for the oceans and the communities that depend on them,” said Phoenix Senior Vice President Atty. Raymond Zorrilla. “Every sack of waste removed is a step toward healthier marine ecosystems and a cleaner future.”
The International Coastal Cleanup, spearheaded globally by the Ocean Conservancy, is recognized as the world’s largest volunteer initiative for ocean health. By consistently supporting this event, Phoenix demonstrates its long-term commitment to environmental stewardship and sustainable operations.
