ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES

Sustainability is a hot topic in the corporate world. Its no secret that the manufacturing process
leads to environmental devastation, and because of this, companies realize the importance of
being more sustainable and preserving the earth for future generations. In the environmental
and sustainability section of a CSR report, corporations are able to showcase the ways in which
theyre working to be more sustainable.
Petron had enclosed the sustainability report together with the annual report for 2015. The
sustainability report of Petron consist of business practices that have been done together with
the members of Petron in order to sustain Social, Economic and Environment Performance of
Petron.
Aeon already mention its CSR project and environmental issues in the annual report of 2015
but to be more details Aeon had made a separate report called as Environmental and Social
report. This report presents both environmental and social initiatives of Aeon Group companies
focusing on pure holding company Aeon Co. Ltd and the General Merchandising Store and
Supermarket businesses.

On the Environmantal issue section, we can see that both company want to preserve the
biodiversity, recycling and use the resources efficiently. But, on our observation, AEON produce
better report since their company had issued a separate report called as Environmental and
Social report.
