Kangan Petro-Refining Holding has been named the model labour unit of the Pars Special Economic Energy Zone for 2025, following an assessment of industrial and production companies operating in the region.
The selection took into account several criteria, including social responsibility, human capital development, workplace safety, compliance with labour regulations, and the protection of employees’ rights and welfare.

The certificate highlighted the importance of employees as organisations’ most valuable asset and acknowledged the company’s efforts to uphold workers’ rights and dignity, comply with labour regulations and provide a suitable working environment.
Local workforce at the centre of employment policy
One of Kangan Petro-Refining Holding’s stated priorities is to draw on the skills and capabilities of the local workforce.
