Chevron supports biofuels research and emissions reduction by partnering with Lincoln University to research a new biofuel feedstock suitable for New Zealand. This multimillion-dollar partnership is aimed at developing a sustainable domestic biofuels industry to benefit all New Zealanders.
We sponsor the Foundation for Youth Development, a respected charitable foundation that works with schools to foster values and self-esteem in young New Zealanders.
We honor those who give their time and effort to the community, so we sponsor the volunteers of the Starship Foundation, which assists New Zealand's largest children's hospital.
Under our Caltex Energy for Learning™ banner, we help provide books to teachers in the Reading Recovery program. This successful program identifies 6-year-old schoolchildren who have reading and writing difficulties and provides them with individual lessons from specialists.
Following a devastating earthquake in the country's third-largest city, Christchurch, in 2010, Chevron worked with the Canterbury Primary Principals Association to help schools recover from the quake. The Caltex Energy for Learning Schools Earthquake Relief Fund helped schools replace computers, projectors and sports equipment not covered by insurance.
