Improving health, safety and well-being

The health, safety and wellbeing of our employees, contractors and customers is our number one priority.

Innovation and entrepreneurship are a key part of our DNA.

Sustaining the environment

We are committed to sustaining the environment by contributing towards cleaner air and a safe, stable climate for generations to come.

Enhancing employee and community development

Our people are our most important asset, so we strive to provide them, and our local communities, with opportunities to develop and grow.

Safeguarding integrity

Doing business with integrity is one of our core values that guides our business activities.

The health and safety of our employees and those who work on our behalf is our highest priority. All our employees and contractors are empowered, encouraged and expected to work in safe conditions. Read more about how we prioritise health and safety.

We are committed to sustaining the environment by combating climate change and tackling air pollution. Our energy products are often cleaner and immediately available to those not connected to a grid, and help consumers and companies to switch away from using coal, wood, oil, petrol or kerosene. This improves indoor and outdoor air quality and reduces carbon emissions significantly.

Innovation efforts benefit our customers through product and service improvements and make our operation more efficient. By increasingly incorporating innovations as a capability within the group, we continue to evolve our way of working, focusing on customer centricity and a mentality of building, testing and learning fast. This forms a crucial part of our culture on the journey of Advancing Energy Together.

About us

SHV Energy is a leading global distributor of off-grid energy, such as LPG and LNG, and is active in sustainable fuels and renewable energy solutions.

We encourage and enable our customers to move away from higher carbon and more polluting solid and liquid fuels, such as heating oil, coal and woody biomass* and adopt cleaner alternatives, including LPG, LNG, bioLPG, and renewable solutions. This switch results in a significant reduction in carbon dioxide and particulate matter emissions.

We are a market leader that operates with international reach and a local focus. We are a wholly owned subsidiary of SHV, a family-owned multinational, and we consist of a group of specialised energy companies, including such brands as Calor, Ipragaz, Liquigas, Primagaz and Supergasbras.

*LPG has lower emissions compared to polluting solid and liquid fuels, and has virtually no particulate matter emissions, improving both indoor and outdoor air quality. It also eliminates nearly all black carbon emissions from household cooking and helps reduce deforestation.

Tangible, measurable priorities

Our ESG practices guide our sustainability activities. They represent tangible and measurable priorities that are important to our stakeholders and to our business.

These priorities were developed through a materiality assessment (described in our Sustainability report) to identify the aspects of our sustainability agenda that are most important to our stakeholders. We carry out this assessment every few years to ensure that our strategic ESG topics remain up to date.

Part of the SHV family

SHV Energy is part of SHV, a global family business with a portfolio of companies and 52,850 employees in 75 countries.
