Javad Zarepour, CEO of Petrofarhang Holding, published a message coinciding with Dey 8th, the National Day of the Petrochemical Industry. The text of the message is as follows:
In the name of God, who is the manager of affairs. Activists of the petrochemical arena, hardworking colleagues of this value-creating industry; The eighth of Dey, the day of the petrochemical industry, is a reminder of the strategic position of an industry that is not only the engine of economic development for our dear Islamic Iran but also a symbol of national capability in the face of the malice of the times and international broken promises; A place where limitation has created value. Today, this industry has gone beyond a purely production-oriented area and has become a value-creating platform for the country’s self-belief and economic diplomacy; An industry whose continuity and flourishing require the support of investors, which has also been emphasized by the Supreme Leader in recent years. In past years, the petrochemical industry has acted as a manifestation of national will against oppressive international sanctions and a stabilizer of the country’s economic system, and in this regard, has been the vanguard of Iran’s “industrial independence”; Hence, the activists in this sector must be considered and counted as defenders of the dignity, economy, and national industry of Iran. Petrofarhang Holding, as a subsidiary of the Teachers’ Reserve Fund, has considered the protection of the capital of this institute as its fundamental principle in decision-making and has strived in this path to, on the one hand, by completing the value chain of the oil industry, make sustainable wealth creation for teachers possible, and on the other hand, fulfill the national duty of developing the industry of dear Iran. We believe that the path ahead for Petrofarhang Holding, specifically in the petrochemical industry, is not drawn in the continuation of past models, but in a conscious transition towards a knowledge-based industry, development of clean energies, smartification of processes, and presence in the three upstream, midstream, and downstream sectors of petrochemicals; A path that we moved on last year and, with all its ups and downs, drew a new landscape; With hope in the empowering God. In this arena, we pin our hopes on the efforts of colleagues who benevolently and prudently strive to be upright children for the motherland and fulfill their historical duty to pass through these difficult times in the worthiest possible way. In conclusion, I once again congratulate all activists in this field on this auspicious day and appreciate the dedication of the honorable managers, employees, and workers of Petrofarhang Holding and its subsidiary companies. We learned the path to Iran’s prosperity from the teachers.
Javad Zarepour, CEO and Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Petrofarhang Holding
