Local Communities

We place great importance on fostering positive relationships with local communities and ensuring their support for our power projects. From the very early stages of project development, we engage in extensive consultations with local governments and communities and maintain open and effective communication channels throughout planning, design, execution and operation phases. We are dedicated to support local areas through our business operations, including using local contractors where possible, conducting educational activities on renewable energy, or donations to values-aligned community activities.

Environment

We understand the importance of sustainable development and strive to minimise our impact on the environment. We carefully select land that can support both the long-term functioning of our power plants and sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems. We prioritize development on repurposed industrial sites, golf courses, and ski runs. We consider each project site’s unique characteristics and conduct thorough risk assessments, maximize the preservation of native vegetation and biodiversity, and implement a design which minimizes disruptions to water flow and optimize resilience to extreme natural events.

Climate & Environment

We collect and integrate data from our direct suppliers on their sustainability engagements and environmental footprint, including Product Carbon Footprint to the extent available.

Social

We expect our business partners to commit to protecting the human rights in their own activities and within their supply chain. We strive to eliminate forced or prison labor throughout our value chain and prohibit the employment of individuals under the age of 15, below the age for completing compulsory education, or below the minimum age for employment as stipulated by the relevant country’s regulations.

We expect our business partners to provide fair employment conditions, ensure appropriate prevention of harassment and discrimination in the workplace, and set up appropriate grievance mechanisms.

We expect all our business partners to meet or exceed local and international workplace standards concerning health and safety. To uphold fairness and equity, we also require that our business partners provide equal pay for work of equal value, ensure that employees do not exceed the maximum legal working hours, and pay them at least the minimum wage as required by local laws.

Supplier pre-qualification

We have implemented a pre-qualification process for our main equipment suppliers, which includes collecting information on their engagements and policies related to environmental, health and safety, social and human rights policy, business ethics, traceability protocols and third party certifications, as well as signature of a pledge to prevent and eliminate any form of forced labour.

We also conduct systematic compliance due diligence before any transaction with a new potential business partners may be conducted, to investigate potential relations with Antisocial Forces, inclusion in Sanctions List Targets, or previous violations of local laws and regulations.

We strive to maintain a positive impact on society and actively assess the involvement of our business partners in activities which may have significant social or environmental implications.

Asset Management

We provide comprehensive support for the entire life cycle of a power plant, from operational support during construction and operation to exit strategies. We also provide financing and asset acquisition services.

Emergency Preparedness

We have established emergency disaster response protocols and continuity plans for extreme weather events. Our site managers receive regular training on emergency preparedness. With a 365 monitoring and control system, we are able to act quickly in the event of a natural disaster.

Monitoring & Inspections

We monitor assets remotely 365 day a year, which enables us to quickly identify and remediate abnormalities or potential issues.

In addition to regular preventative inspections, we also systematically check site conditions in the aftermath of critical natural disasters. Our capabilities include improving construction deficiencies, post-10-year plant repair and repowering, and disaster/crime prevention.
