- As well as the company's industrial facilities, visitors also had the opportunity to see the Roman ruins of Carteia and the Madrevieja environmental research center.
- The goal of opening the company's doors to the public is to establish a continuous dialog that answers their questions and addresses their concerns.
In 2019, some 2,710 people visited Cepsa's San Roque complex through the different programs the company offers at its facilities over the course of the year. The open-door policy—designed to increase transparency and responsibility—that Cepsa has always championed gives the public a chance to find out more about the company's oil refining and its petrochemical and energy activities in the Campo de Gibraltar district, as well as its environmental conservation and protection work.
Cepsa's annual program of visits kicked off at the start of the year with a new edition of the Energy Campus, with 601 students from 14 academic institutions visiting Cepsa's San Roque complex to discover everything about energy generation and consumption, and to learn about best practices for efficiency and safety. That was followed in February with World Wetlands Day when 683 students from various centers in Campo de Gibraltar got to see the Madrevieja environmental research center and take part in various environmental education workshops. Through these two initiatives, Cepsa aims to show young people from Algeciras Bay the conservation work that the company is doing.
General visits are also run for local community associations and groups of high-school pupils interested in finding out about Cepsa's industrial facilities. Groups of university students also pay a visit, most of whom are on energy or occupational risk prevention courses. Anyone wishing to extend their visit can also take a tour of the archaeological Roman ruins of Carteia or the Madrevieja environmental research center — two sites Cepsa has been involved in enhancing from an archaeological and environmental stand-point.
