Advocacy

As a responsible corporate citizen, SEAOIL is an advocate of the following causes:

Free Competition

Like other independent oil companies, SEAOIL contributes to the nation’s progress and development by promoting free competition amongst the nation’s petroleum providers. From its incorporation in 1978, SEAOIL has taken a fair yet aggressive stance towards providing Filipino industries and consumers with affordable petroleum products that meet, if not exceed, international standards. It has worked very closely with the Department of Energy to ensure that Filipinos benefit from the market environment created by the country’s oil deregulation law. The result of these efforts is evident in the fact that the Philippines’ fuel prices are still among the lowest in Asia.

Conservation of the Environment

There is no other fuel company in the Philippines that cares for the environment like SEAOIL does. It may seem ironic for a fuel company to advocate environmental causes, but SEAOIL proved that it is possible.

SEAOIL led the entire industry in promoting and marketing biofuels, with the launch of SEAOIL E10 fuels in August 2005. Introducing E10 in the Philippine market proved challenging, as the company had to face many challenges to be able to roll out its biofuels program among its stations nationwide. This includes converting and modifying its distribution system and complying with the stringent requirements of implementing the Biofuel Law.

SEAOIL E10 fuel is environment friendly because it contains 10% ethanol that facilitates more efficient burning, thereby reducing the amount of unburned carbon which causes greenhouse gas emissions. This translates to improved fuel economy and better engine performance as it boosts octane rating to a minimum of 93 for ordinary unleaded gasoline, and up to 97 for premium gasoline.

Fulfilling Filipinos' entrepreneurial dreams thru franchising

SEAOIL started franchising in 1997, and since then it has grown to become the leading independent fuel company in the country, with a network of more than 200 stations nationwide in 2011.

The company believes that franchising is a win-win situation for both the franchisor and the franchisee. The franchisee is able to own an established business at minimal investment, while the franchisor still maintains ownership of the franchised outlet.

Franchising is a favorable prospect for many Filipinos with the growing number of middle class families, particularly OFWs. Most Filipinos dream of becoming their own boss at some point in their career, and franchising is a viable business option, for it requires less capital investment and demands less if their time since they no longer have to start from scratch in building the brand.

SEAOIL's franchise offering is ideal for beginning entrepreneurs, as well as those who want a second business. Franchisees are also given the option to put up another business in their station thru locators.
