Abstract
Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF) celebrated its 100-year anniversary on June 3, 2022. Recently, more than 300 YPF service stations and their YPF Full stores from all over the country have been renovated, following environmental and social sustainability criteria. Today, they not only have state-of-the-art pumps but also an area to rest or relax and food stores where travelers and customers may enjoy a meal with healthy gourmet products.
This case study describes the remodeling program carried out by YPF which followed three sustainability criteria in the following: (a) construction, including the use of sustainable materials such as thermal material or special glasses resistant to shocks and sudden changes in temperature, (b) the use of modern technology in touchless activation devices and lights with motion sensors that save resources and help comply with healthcare (hygiene) regulations, and (c) investments in solar collectors to heat water and generate solar power to reduce energy costs.
Following the Sustainable Development Goal—SDG 12 (titled “responsible consumption and production”), the program demonstrates YPF’s environmental care commitment and social commitment to its customers, assumed since it launched the renovation plan for its service station and FULL stores.
