The survival of the planet depends in part on man’s ability to maintain the highest levels of biodiversity. That’s why at Gulf, we aim to minimize any negative impacts to the surrounding ecosystem that may result from our activities.

Gulf recognizes that part of its environmental responsibility includes protecting and preserving biodiversity to maintain the balance of nature and ensure future generations will continue to benefit from the essential ecosystem services provided by the natural environment. Gulf is committed to its responsibility of protection and preservation of ecosystem biodiversity through governance, responsible management, education, and advocacy.

From the moment we begin planning for a new project, we engage teams to study the selected project location. All of our power plants are situated on industrial land to minimize any impact on forested or natural conservation areas. We study the number and types of plants and animals in the area around our power plants at the earliest stages of planning and adjust our design to accommodate the local environment. Throughout all phases of construction and operation, we consistently monitor the health of the nearby flora and fauna in conjunction with our emissions and waste monitoring to ensure that our activities are not affecting the local environment. Gulf produces environmental reports every six months and conducts in-depth studies every few years to identify long-term trends in changes in biodiversity. We also run educational programs for students in the local area to teach them about the importance of biodiversity and taking care of the environment.
