About Jam
Jam Petrochemical Company (Public Joint Stock) was registered in 1379 under number 32285, in line with the country's major petrochemical industry programmes for exploiting the South Pars gas field. This vast industrial complex was built as the tenth olefin project on a 77-hectare site in the South Pars Special Economic Zone in Assaluyeh, Bushehr province, adjacent to the gas phase and petrochemical projects. Two decades after its founding, and with production units for olefin, high-density and linear low-density polyethylene, butadiene and butene-1, the Jam petrochemical complex remains one of the largest olefin producers in the world and of polymer products in Iran. As the most prominent production complex in the South Pars Special Economic Zone — producing and supplying a wide range of petrochemical grades to domestic and foreign markets and moving steadily towards growth — Jam ranks among the country's most important petrochemical industrial complexes in economic terms.

Jam Petrochemical, Patron of the Jebeer Gazelle
The Jebeer gazelle matters, and it is not the concern of one generation alone: if our generation neglects it, coming generations may never see this beautiful and singular wildlife. The wildlife of Nayband Marine National Park in Assaluyeh is under threat because it sits alongside the giant industries established in the region. Industrial growth around Assaluyeh has already harmed the wildlife of this area — not only the Jebeer gazelles; even the turtles' nesting grounds have shrunk and narrowed. Who, then, should carry industry's responsibility for the harm it has brought to the region? In Mehr 1402, at a joint meeting attended by the CEO of Jam Petrochemical and the provincial director-general for the environment, the two sides signed a memorandum on managing the Jebeer site, centred on site stewardship, restoring and rebuilding the Jebeer population, and cooperating to improve the gazelle's habitat in Nayband Marine National Park. That signature marked the beginning of Jam Petrochemical's support for the Jebeer gazelle. With the company's backing, those concerns have now eased, and conservationists hope that in the years ahead the population of this gazelle will reach three figures.
