Matching Programme
One of the aims of the Corporate Donations programme is to encourage the corporate citizenship approach, not only within Lundin Petroleum corporate, but also among its subsidiaries; this is why Lundin Petroleum instituted a matching program whereby it matches any contribution made by a Lundin subsidiary, provided the donation fits with the criteria of the corporate programme.

In 2007, the staff of Lundin Petroleum's French operations donated their accumulated overtime pay to Handi' Chiens to fund the purchase of dogs for the blind. Funds were also donated to the Conservatoire du Patrimoine Naturel de Champagne Ardenne, an environmental protection organisation. Together with this institution, a few staff members participated on a voluntary basis to the clearing of the Marais de St Gond, in order to preserve the diversity of local flora and fauna of these swamps.

In 2007, the General Manager of Lundin Petroleum's Indonesian operations visited the Cibubur Village near Jakarta and decided to assist the Village in its fundraising efforts by committing seed funds and soliciting foreign companies to do the same.

In 2008, Lundin Petroleum's Tunisian operations, decided to take over the commitment to fund one residential home in the Gammarth Village which Lundin Petroleum had sponsored to date.
