Through policies, projects and programs committed to sustainability, PetroTal aims to become an ESG leader in the energy sector.
We carry out events and information rounds in the communities and localities of direct influence and enable different platforms and communication channels to ensure transparent, clear and timely communication, reducing uncertainty about our activities and addressing the doubts or suggestions of the population.
100% of the local labor force at our operation is from the Puinahua district, of which 15% are female personnel. For these hires we coordinate with local authorities and communities.
We seek to support the closing of social gaps in the district, developing programs and projects in health, education, economic development, local strengthening, aimed at reducing the problems of infrastructure, malnutrition, knowledge and training in the district.
We contribute 2.5% of the value of our fiscal oil production to the Permanent Fund for the Development of the Puinahua District (Fund 2.5).
Fund 2.5 seeks to improve the quality of life and ensure post-oil life in the producing district.
The resources will be used solely and exclusively to finance development projects in the Puinahua district.
Contributions are made provided that operations and transportation are carried out normally in the district.
The Board of Directors is comprised of: Perupetro, Puinahua District Municipality, Asociación Indígena de Desarrollo y Conservación del Bajo Puinahua - Aidecobap, Junta Autónoma del Puinahua - JAP.
The Consultative Committee is made up of representatives from the 18 localities and communities in the district.
We are part of a project that promotes sustainable paiche fishing, capacity building and value added.
Fishermen from OSPPA Arahuana Fish conduct a planned paiche fishery in the Pacaya Samiria National Reserve.
With the advice and support of the Asociación Civil Despensa Amazónica, in partnership with PetroTal, they produce hamburgers, nuggets, sausages and cuts with paiche meat.
The project benefits 80 fishermen and a total of 350 families. This project is supported by PetroTal, Despensa Amazónica, CITE Productivo Maynas, among others.
With our INTEGRATED TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE SYSTEM - SATI we promote the development of food projects and enterprises in the district of Puinahua.
Its purpose is to improve the productivity and income of families and generate jobs by improving and innovating production in agriculture, aquaculture and small animal husbandry.
We provide training that promotes innovation, associativity and inclusion to achieve commercial development and the application of good productive and environmentally friendly practices.
We support the project to make Puinahua the first district in the Amazon to be electrified with renewable energy.
Brittany, capital of the Puinahua district, already has an electrical system (solar power plant) installed and we are working on a project to expand its capacity.
We have financed the files to build the solar power plants in 17 communities and they have been delivered to the Ministry of Energy and Mines (MINEM) for execution.
The project will involve an investment of S/1.6 million by PetroTal and S/66 million by MINEM.
We have specific plans and programs for efficient management during the execution of our projects and with the necessary control measures to manage the environmental impacts generated by the activities associated with our projects in their different stages.
The baseline is constantly monitored with control actions that allow us to understand if changes are occurring that should require updating the control measures.
We are committed to applying national regulations and the best international industry standards to develop our activities in a safe manner, taking care of the environment and respecting the populations influenced by our operation.
Biodiversity conservation is key to the management of our projects. Our goal is to obtain a positive net balance through zero net loss. The correct identification and evaluation of impacts on biodiversity and the functionality of ecosystems has allowed us to agree with the State on compensation plans with conservation and restoration measures that are integrated into our biodiversity monitoring programs in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems, and programs for the protection and rescue of flora and fauna.
At PetroTal, we are concerned about the Puinahua canal, whose banks are home to several towns and communities. Our objective is to prevent crude oil leaks or spills. We work under strict protocols, managing effective spill prevention, action and control plans that minimize the probability of occurrence and impact. We are prepared to minimize the consequences of an eventual spill, as we have agreements with suppliers that guarantee expert assistance and the use of the best means and equipment to provide us with a quick and effective solution.
We manage waste management based on compliance with the Integrated Solid Waste Management Law and in turn, aligned with our Safety, Health, Environmental Management and Social Responsibility Policy. Our Solid Waste Management Program establishes the general guidelines for managing solid waste from its generation, collection, classification, central storage, transportation and final disposal. We comply with IFC standards for waste management and reduce waste generation through innovative strategies.
At PetroTal we have been calculating our carbon footprint since 2021, reviewing changes in production and monitoring our efforts to reduce our Scope 1 emissions. In our neighboring town of 7 de Junio, located in the district of Puinahua, we worked on a project to reforest 7.45 hectares of forest ecosystem. We have achieved the insertion of more than 8,000 forest plants. This project will have a duration of more than 20 years and will carry out a reforestation greater than what is required by law.
