Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI) was established on August 19, 1982 as the social arm of Shell companies in the Philippines. We aspire to spearhead fit-for-purpose projects that responds not only to the needs of Shell’s worksites and host communities, but to the rest of the country. Currently, PSFI works with numerous groups in various locations around the Philippines, with specialized focus in communities in: Batangas, Camarines Sur, Leyte, Palawan, Rizal, Tagbilaran, and Cagayan de Oro.
We expect challenges and see empowering Filipinos as a long and winding journey. While prepared for crises, the COVID-19 pandemic that the country continues to struggle with has been an immense hurdle. Pilipinas Shell Foundation, Inc. (PSFI) continues to work with its partner communities, adapting to ever-shifting needs. As we move closer to the target year of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, we will continue to make strategic plans to contribute to the Philippines’ sustainable development. Ultimately, all our efforts lead towards helping move the #FilipinoForward.
