SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Petróleos Mexicanos grants economic resources
to state and municipal governments to advocate
sustainable development and to promote the
creation of social development actions that
harmonize PEMEX’s operation and growth with
its surroundings.
During 2001, the company granted approximately
682 million pesos, 57.9% of it in cash and 42.1%
in kind (asphalt, fuels, piping, furniture and
equipment).

Specific projects
While developing coordination and approaching
efforts with communities and the different
government levels to apply these resources,
transparency and accountability have been the
main principles for granting contributions and
donations. This has enabled PEMEX to promote
specific programs and projects in the following
localities:
Chiapas
Resources amounting to approximately 8 million
pesos granted to promote production were
applied to different productive projects.

By the end of 2001, Petróleos Mexicanos’s
countrywide social coverage —albeit in different
magnitude and importance— reached 28 states.
Technical Assistance for cattle raising
-A total of 3,229 individuals in five northern
municipalities (Pichucalco, Juárez, Sunuapa,
Ostuacán and Reforma) have been approached,
exceeding the proposed goal by 30%.
Bovine herd restoration
-428 heads of bovine cattle were acquired for
productive projects in the mentioned
municipalities.
Distribution of fertilizers
-This project will benefit a total of 3,038 producers
in 4,412 hectares of productive land by increasing
the production of fruit and basic crops.

Tamaulipas
This state received a substantial amount of asphalt
to refurbish approximately 512 km. of its highways.
Campeche
PEMEX signed an agreement with the state’s
government to deliver 10 thousand meters of steel
tubing of different diameters, which will be used
to improve the drainage system in Ciudad del
Carmen. This will contribute to solve the
problems caused by flooded streets during the
rain season.
CASE: SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT INDICATORS
The oil industry’s presence in different regions of the country has several effects, which should overall
improve the welfare of the people. This is one of the three dimensions of sustainable development.
In order to obtain an objective diagnosis to improve the efficiency of PEMEX’s support programs for its
neighboring communities, in 2001 the company started integrating a series of indicators to quantify and
evaluate its impact on localities in different social issues.
In this first stage the 2000 census information from 61 municipalities of paramount importance for the
company, located in the 9 states with the greatest PEMEX presence —Veracruz, Tabasco Campeche,
Chiapas, Oaxaca, Hidalgo, Guanajuato, Tamaulipas and Nuevo León— was processed. The following are
some of the preliminary results:
Health
• Thirty-four of the 61 oil municipalities have a coverage that exceeds their state’s average, with a
favorable comparative situation.
• The Campeche, Hidalgo, Nuevo León, Oaxaca and Tamaulipas oil municipalities report an average
coverage that exceeds the country’s average, and the Veracruz municipalities are close to this level.
Education
• The educational attainment of 93% of the oil municipalities is higher than their respective states’
averages. However, not all the oil entities have accomplished this advance.
• Literacy in 34 of the 61 examined municipalities (56%) is higher than the country’s average.
• The Campeche, Tamaulipas, Nuevo León and Veracruz oil municipalities’ average educational attainment
is higher than the country’s and state’s average.

Tabasco
Environmental protection actions —particularly in
the Centla Swamps area— continued during 2001.
Guanajuato
• The Patronato para el Monitoreo de la Calidad
del Aire de Salamanca, A.C. (Salamanca Air
Monitoring Board of Trustees) received 1.3 million
pesos to install an air-monitoring network in this
city. This project will help the community to
improve the city’s air quality and to evaluate
pollution in different areas.
• The Asociación Ciudad de los Niños Salamanca, A.C. (City of Children Association) received
7 million pesos to build a housing project for street
children older than 15 years.
Hidalgo
The state’s Sistema para el Desarrollo Integral de
la Familia (Integral Family Development System)
received 400 thousand pesos to buy equipment
for the Integral Rehabilitation Center’s Physical
Therapy and Evaluation and Development of
Work Capacities areas.
• Petróleos Mexicanos gave 534 thousand pesos
to the Mexican Red Cross in León, to acquire an
X-ray equipment, an anesthesia outfit and a
surgical stand to treat emergencies and provide
basic medical care.
Dwelling quality
Two basic indicators of the quality of dwelling are the access to piped water supply and drained sewage
services.
• The Campeche, Hidalgo, Oaxaca and Tabasco oil municipalities’ average percentage of dwellings with
piped water supply is higher than the country’s average, and than the average of all the oil entities.
• The Campeche, Guanajuato, Hidalgo, Nuevo León and Tamaulipas oil municipalities have a greater
average percentage of dwellings with drained sewage.
• These results show that the municipalities with the greatest PEMEX presence have a favorable
comparative situation, but they also indicate that the basic social infrastructure needs further strengthening.
Employment
• The economically active population indicator is one of the factors used to identify the percentage of
the labor force participating in productive activities. The Campeche and Nuevo León oil municipalities
obtained the highest indexes, which places them at the same level as the country’s average.
• These results emphasize the need to promote job generation programs. Support to different productive
projects is a real alternative toward social welfare.
