Understanding Energy Poverty

Energy Poverty refers to the lack of access to sustainable modern energy services and products that affects human health and prosperity. Because nearly 3 billion people in the world are forced to cook with solid fuels, kerosene, and faulty stoves, a high level of household pollution is created causing dangerous health impacts.

Our Stakeholder Engagement Commitments

We believe in effective communication and collaboration to achieve successful engagement with our stakeholders. We recognize the importance of active listening and strive to understand different perspectives to create stronger relationships. By engaging in open and transparent dialogue, we aim to address community concerns, enhance growth, and develop long-lasting relationships.

Steps for ESG Priority Assessment

The four steps to our ESG Priority Assessment include defining purpose and scope, identifying topics, engaging management, and analyzing information and incorporating into ESG strategy and reporting. With topics ranging from health and safety to human and labor rights, we cover all aspects and are committed to constant improvement.
