mangrove ecosystem restoration alliance (MERA)
Since 2018, Chevron and a consortium of industry partners have supported the Mangrove Ecosystem Restoration Alliance (MERA) program at the Muara Angke Wildlife Reserve in Jakarta, Indonesia. The five-year program by The Nature Conservancy and its local Indonesian affiliate Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara is a collaboration with the Jakarta Natural Resources Conservation Center – Ministry of Environment and Forestry. Now at the project’s halfway mark, the MERA program is about to open Jakarta’s first ever center for mangrove education to help build public awareness about mangrove ecosystem conservation.
We are committed to protecting people and the environment wherever we operate. Protecting people and the environment are integral components of The Chevron Way. Adhering to The Chevron Way means that we conduct our business in a socially and ethically responsible manner, respecting the law and universal human rights to benefit the communities where we work.
In Indonesia and around the globe, we operate our oil and gas operations in accordance with applicable environmental laws and regulations, and recognized global industry standards. We apply the same standards and best practice in environmental management and continue to seek new ways to minimize our footprint and improve environmental and social performance.
