IMPROVING PEOPLE'S LIVES

We're working to improve people's lives around the world, including through our carbon neutral programmes.

We're already on our way. Since 2014, we've supported carbon offset programmes that have helped improve over 1.8 million lives. 

As a world-leading manufacturer, distributor and marketer of premium lubricating oils and greases, Castrol’s people believe in making a real and lasting difference to millions of everyday lives. With over 5,000 employees operating worldwide, we deliver products and services for virtually all domestic, commercial, automotive, industrial, marine, aviation, oil exploration and production purposes, on a vast scale.

Reducing and offsetting the carbon emissions associated with our certified carbon neutral products not only supports projects around the world that reduce, remove or avoid emissions but also helps to improve lives.  Since 2014, through bp Target Neutral, Castrol has supported programmes that have helped improve over 1.8 million lives* through better health, decent work, training and gender equality.

An example of the bpTarget Neutral projects Castrol invests in is a cookstove project in Mexico. This project is helping to equip rural communities in Mexico with 37,000 cookstoves that burn much more efficiently than open fires, saving firewood, reducing indoor air pollution and improving respiratory health. The project is saving almost 92,000 tCO2e per year.
