Yayasan PETRONAS is the social impact arm of PETRONAS. Our mission is to deliver positive and sustainable impact on the well-being of society across the nation. With our pillars of Education, Community Well-being & Development and Environment, we believe that we can unlock the potential of individuals, foster inclusive and resilient communities as well as preserve our environment.
We continue to be committed to creating impactful value for all, working towards ‘Empowering Change in Communities’ for the betterment of society.
Systemic change demands more than charitable support. It requires collaborative, long-term interventions that address the root causes of social and environmental concerns.
With the Theory of Change (TOC) framework as our guiding strategy, we now have a clear roadmap for sustainable, targeted, and measurable impact, backed by a data-driven approach. This foundation positions us to address society’s most pressing needs while expanding economic opportunities that drive national progress
In 2024, we deepened our impact and extended our scope through the implementation of Theory of Change (TOC), reinforcing our commitment to creating positive and sustainable change across Malaysia through education, economic empowerment, and environmental conservation. From expanding STEM and Special Education Needs (SEN) support to scaling community development and disaster resilience initiatives, our efforts were strategically directed to maximise effectiveness and impact, guided by proven needs, strong partnerships and data-driven insights.
A nation’s future is built on the strength of its education system. At Yayasan PETRONAS, we are committed to cultivating a generation of critical thinkers, problem solvers and innovators by supporting an education ecosystem that empowers educators and students alike.
A rising tide lifts all boats. When our communities make progress, so does the nation. Many rural communities across Malaysia face challenges in accessing the services and resources needed to reach their full potential. To address this, we take a holistic approach to Community Well-being and Development, focusing on two key strategies: Community- based Approach and Broad-based Health Interventions.
A greener tomorrow begins with the actions we take today. At Yayasan PETRONAS, our commitment to climate resilience and the environment goes beyond preserving both terrestrial and marine ecosystems. We believe that by fostering a collective responsibility for the land we call home, we can protect our planet and the people who depend on it.
Yayasan PETRONAS is committed to creating meaningful, long-term impact for communities throughout Malaysia. In 2024, we expanded our reach across the country through targeted initiatives guided by our core pillars of Education, Community Well Being & Development, and Environment.

Sebetin, a resident of Kampung Tinata Ulu in Sabah, has witnessed first-hand the positive impact of the Harvesting the Value of Water project. This initiative has provided access to clean water and supported local agriculture by enabling villagers to grow a wider variety of crops.
Maha bin Undi, the village head of Kampung Kungkular, shares that forest restoration has brought renewed hope to his community. Kungkular was once heavily degraded due to widespread tree felling for timber production, which not only disrupted ecosystems but also reduced access to clean water — jeopardising crops, livelihoods, and food security.
