Another area of operations which PSO takes as crucially important I, is to provide safeguards against pollution, environmental degradation, and traffic congestion and to ensure provision of quality production in correct quantity to its customers. Under its New Vision, PSO has successfully undertaken to upgrade its dilapidated tank lorry fleet in line with international specifications, equipped them with satellite tracking system and make them pilfer-proof.
To streamline and smoothen supplies to retail outlasts / industrial consumers, a ‘Fleet Management System’ has been put in pace in major cities of the country – Karachi, Lahore, Islamabad, Multan and Faisalabad, PSO has built drives rest – rooms at ZOT/KMR, Sihala, Mahmood Kot, Machike & Shikapur Terminals. In addition, in-transit rest rooms have been built in Rahim Yar Khan Patoki and Chakpirana at retails outlets.
Imparted defensive driving training to 7,000 drives throughout Pakistan. The skills are updated through refresher courses.
Like insurance coverage provided to the tank lorry driver and cleaners.

The contraction of tank lorries parking facility at Sihala is underway.
In accordance with ISO 14001, the international environment management system standards, we have been conducting environment aspects and impact assessments over the past few years.
The top 10 ways PSO’s operations may affect the environment are: solid waste, energy consumption, chemical use and storage, air emissions, water potential contamination to land and product transportation. To minimize their negative impact on the environment, we have developed long-term objectives such as:
Product Stewardship: Design all products for the environment and safety.
Zero Waste: Reuse or recycle all waste materials.
Benign Emissions: Eliminate from plants all emissions that adversely impact the environment.
Closed Loop: Conserve natural resources by fully integrating products and processes in the recycling loop.
Zero Occupational Injuries and Illness: Create a workplace free on occupational injuries and illnesses.
Green Energy: Use energy in highly efficient ways at sites and use renewable energy where practical.
