Chevron supports biofuels research and emissions reduction by partnering with Lincoln University to research a biofuel feedstock suitable for New Zealand. This multimillion-dollar partnership is aimed at developing a sustainable domestic biofuels industry to benefit all New Zealanders.
Chevron honors those who give their time and effort to the community. We sponsor the volunteers of the Starship Foundation, which assists New Zealand’s largest children’s hospital. We also support fundraising efforts for new equipment and child safety education.
Under our Caltex Energy for Learning® banner, we have partnered with the National Library Association since 2011 to provide reading resources and book vouchers to every school and pupil in the country. The initiative, which takes place during New Zealand Book Month, focuses on improving literacy and encouraging reading at home.
Following a devastating series of earthquakes in Christchurch, the country’s third-largest city, in 2010 and 2011, Chevron worked with the Canterbury Primary Principals Association to help schools recover from the quakes. The Caltex Energy for Learning Schools Earthquake Relief Fund helped schools replace computers, projectors and sports equipment not covered by insurance. Chevron continues to support Christchurch earthquake recovery efforts and is currently reviewing opportunities to work with the Christchurch Earthquake Recovery Association on projects to help rebuild the city and its environs.
