Social Impact

Staatsolie’s Corporate Social Responsibility approach supports community development across Suriname. By investing in initiatives with lasting value, we aim to strengthen wellbeing, opportunity and resilience while encouraging greater participation and self-reliance.

Where we invest

Our focus areas

Staatsolie’s social impact efforts focus on areas that address the most urgent and recurring needs within society. These focus areas guide our corporate social responsibility approach and ensure that our support contributes to long-term well-being, opportunity, and resilience within communities.

  1. Education
    Access to quality education is fundamental to personal growth and long-term opportunity. By supporting education, we aim to strengthen knowledge and skills that help people build their future.

  2. Capacity Building
    Strong communities depend on capable individuals and organizations. Through capacity building, we support initiatives that enhance skills, strengthen institutions, and enable people and organizations to operate more effectively and independently.

  3. Socially vulnerable groups
    An inclusive society ensures that support reaches those who need it most. We focus on improving the well-being of socially vulnerable groups by contributing to safe, supportive environments that promote dignity, participation, and social inclusion.

  4. Sports and youth development
    Sports play an important role in personal growth, teamwork, and social connection. Our focus on sports supports youth development, particularly in underserved communities, by encouraging healthy lifestyles and positive social engagement.

  5. Healthcare
    Good health is essential to individual well-being and community resilience. Our focus on healthcare seeks to support access, quality, and preventive care, enabling people to live healthier lives and actively participate in society.

The Staatsolie Foundation

The Staatsolie Foundation supports community projects across Suriname, with a focus on long-term social development. It operates independently under its own board, consisting of Staatsolie employees and external members. The Foundation funds projects directly and, in specific cases, co-finances initiatives with Staatsolie.
