Community

Train community leaders to manage the development of their communities.
Environmental programs
We promote responsible management that integrates environmental sustainability and the development of communities in our areas of influence.
We develop policies, procedures and work plans aimed at risk management and the prevention of environmental impacts arising from our operations. We also promote the efficient use of natural resources, the reduction of our carbon footprint and the protection of biodiversity, seeking to preserve the quality of water, air, and terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems.
We are convinced that renewable energy generation and agroforestry development, when managed responsibly, generate economic, social and environmental benefits. That is why we remain committed to continuously improving our environmental performance and conserving natural resources, for the sustainable development of the communities and territories where we operate.
We take responsibility and ensure environmental compliance through 4 programs:
Zero
Waste
Implement and maintain exemplary management of the solid waste we generate, to reduce its impact on the environment and human health.
Clean
Water
Conserve and protect water resources through proper management.
Green
Refuge
Maintain our project areas as wildlife refuges and set an example of how productive infrastructure can blend with its surroundings.
Climate
Awareness
Help offset greenhouse gas emissions by generating renewable energy, avoiding carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions.
