At Sol, we are passionate about supporting the Caribbean and the communities in which we operate.

As part of Sol’s HSSE initiatives, Sol Guyana decided to share the importance of health, safety and the environment with the students and teachers of the Houston Secondary School. The local team donated garbage bins to the school to help improve the surrounding appearance and highlight proper safety and trash disposal practices. The donation was welcomed, as the school had a situation of inadequate bins to serve the entire student population. Sol’s partnership with Houston Secondary School will continue for future projects.
As part of its annual calendar of activities, the Central Corentyne Chamber of Commerce, hosted the Berbice Expo and Trade Fair at the Albion Sports Complex, Corentyne under the theme “Promoting Entrepreneurship for a Diversified Economy”. The expo was held October 6-9, 2017 and has been dubbed the single largest event in the Berbice region that allows for both large and small businesses to gain exposure through sales and promotions.
Sol Guyana took the opportunity to participate by sending a team of representatives who showcased, promoted and marketed the Sol Gas and Shell Lubricants brands. The team was able to vigorously gain new customers and recommit existing customers by using exciting games, prizes, safety tips and special sales discounts. The Sol Guyana team saw high booth traffic as well as overwhelming sales on all products offered, making this event a huge success.
