Nido is committed to enhancing shareholder value by conducting international oil and gas exploration, development and production in a manner that, through its Corporate Social Responsibility Programmes, shares part of the benefits of this activity with the communities in which it operates.

Nido has adopted a two-pronged approach to its Corporate Social Responsibility Programmes. This involves the Nido Petroleum Foundation, Inc. (Nido Foundation) in the Philippines and the Company's Charitable Donations Committee, which actively encourages and supports staff as they work in a range of community organisations in Australia and the Philippines.

Nido Petroleum Foundation, Inc

In 2010, Nido provided funds to the Social Services Programs of the Holy Trinity Parish in Quezon City, Philippines which caters to the needs of the urban poor and marginalised members of the community. The program includes medical/dental outreach clinics, livelihood opportunities, out of school youth education, skills training program and adult literacy education classes.

Nido also supported the fund raising campaign of the Association of Filipinos for the Advancement of Geosciences, Inc (AFAG) where the proceeds were used to purchase equipment for a small university geology department.

Staff Involvement

During 2010 the Company supported staff involvement with the Breast Cancer Foundation of Western Australia, Channel 7 Telethon, Ronald MacDonald charities and the Salvation Army. Nido also proudly supported the Mission Australia Christmas Lunch for the third year in a row.
