What ESG Means To Star West
At Star West Petroleum, sustainability is not a standalone initiative—it is part of how we do business. We believe responsible growth requires balancing operational excellence, environmental stewardship, strong governance, and meaningful community relationships.
As a Western Canadian supplier of fuels, lubricants, equipment solutions, and technical services, we recognize our responsibility to operate safely, support our communities, reduce environmental impacts where practical, and help customers achieve their own sustainability objectives.
Our approach is grounded in continuous improvement, transparency, and practical action. We focus on the areas where we can have the greatest impact: employee health and safety, Indigenous partnerships, environmental stewardship, operational efficiency, and responsible governance.
Our ESG Priorities
Through our ESG Materiality Assessment, we identified the topics that matter most to our stakeholders, customers, employees, Indigenous partners, and communities. While sustainability encompasses many areas, our efforts are focused on four priority themes.
Creating a workplace where employees return home safely every day remains our highest priority. We are committed to fostering a culture of safety, continuous learning, and personal well-being throughout our organization.
We recognize the importance of helping customers navigate an evolving energy landscape. Through renewable fuel options, operational efficiencies, and practical emissions-reduction initiatives, we support customers seeking responsible pathways toward their sustainability goals.
Strong relationships are essential to long-term success. We are committed to creating shared value through meaningful partnerships, local engagement, and economic participation opportunities that support the communities where we operate.
Reliable infrastructure and responsible operations are fundamental to serving our customers. We continually invest in systems, processes, and risk management practices that strengthen safety, reliability, and operational resilience.
Social
We believe meaningful partnerships are built on trust, respect, transparency, and long-term commitment. Star West Petroleum works alongside Indigenous communities and organizations throughout Western Canada to create opportunities for shared growth and mutual success.
Our approach focuses on building relationships that extend beyond transactions and contribute to long-term economic participation, employment opportunities, supplier diversity, and community development. By listening, learning, and collaborating, we strive to ensure our partnerships create lasting value for both our business and the communities we serve.
Environmental
Environmental responsibility is integrated into our day-to-day operations and long-term planning. As a supplier of fuels, lubricants, equipment solutions, and technical services, we recognize our responsibility to continually evaluate opportunities to improve efficiency, reduce waste, and support lower-carbon alternatives where practical.
In 2025, Star West added its first hybrid vehicle to the company fleet as part of our commitment to evaluating practical technologies that support long-term emissions reduction.
“Beyond exceeding expectations with our operational needs, Star West Petroleum has been a crucial partner in advancing our sustainability goals. Their proactive approach and significant logistical expertise were imperative to the success of our parent company in its groundbreaking achievement as the first transportation fleet in British Columbia to successfully transition to R100 diesel fuel with reliable wheel-to-wheel delivery throughout the 2024 season. This accomplishment highlights Star West Petroleum’s commitment to providing innovative fuel solutions and seamless delivery, even for pioneering initiatives.”
Today’s customers face increasing expectations from investors, regulators, Indigenous partners, and stakeholders to understand and manage environmental impacts. We believe suppliers have an important role to play in helping customers achieve those objectives.
By combining reliable product supply with technical expertise, we help customers identify practical opportunities that improve both operational performance and sustainability outcomes.
One of the most effective ways to improve sustainability is to maximize the performance and lifespan of existing equipment. Our Top Tier Lubrication Management Program helps customers improve reliability, reduce maintenance costs, and extend asset life through a comprehensive approach to lubrication excellence.
By reducing premature component failures, minimizing lubricant waste, and improving equipment performance, these programs deliver measurable operational, financial, and environmental benefits.
Technical ServicesSafety is the foundation upon which all other sustainability initiatives are built. Star West Petroleum maintains rigorous safety standards throughout its operations and continually invests in training, systems, and programs that protect employees, customers, contractors, and the environment.
In 2025, Star West achieved a CORE audit score of 90%, reflecting our commitment to maintaining high standards of safety and operational excellence.
Governance
Strong governance helps ensure sustainability commitments are supported by action. To strengthen accountability and guide future decision-making, Star West Petroleum continues to advance initiatives that keep environmental, social, and governance considerations integrated into our business planning and operational decision-making.
Whether you’re setting sustainability targets or looking for practical ways to reduce impact, our team can help you find the right path forward.
