Environmental awareness and education


Environmental awareness and education projects are carried out together with governmental and non-governmental organisations for company employees, high school students, students of higher and secondary specialised schools, in accordance with SOCAR's environmental policy. Within the measures taken, cooperation relationships were established with educational institutions in order to raise the interest of the younger generation in ecology, and to develop ecological knowledge and skills. SOCAR has implemented Ecology Months, Green Schools, Eco-presentations and other projects under the motto Let's turn education into value.

SOCAR staff held presentations, open and practical classes for the students of Baku’s 140 schools dedicated to the topics of Use of Alternative and Renewable Energy; Healthy Lifestyle; Green Behaviour; What Should We Do?; Biodiversity of Azerbaijan; Noise Pollution; What is Environmental Monitoring?; and Waste Management, etc.

As part of the project Green School, Wednesday activities were organised in Baku schools. The students planted trees in the schoolyards and were provided with advice and recommendations regarding the maintenance of greenery. To implement this project, 1,500 trees were allocated for greening the courtyards of 40 schools in Baku.

Celebrating international environmental days also plays an important role in environmental awareness events. The events Earth Hour, Biodiversity Day, Environment Protection Day, Marine Day, and Let’s Clean the Planet from Waste are held jointly with SOCAR’s departments and enterprises.

The main goal of ecological awareness events is ecological education of children, forming their interest, care, and love for nature, teaching them to use natural resources correctly, revealing talented and creative students, and forming ecological culture among them.
