We promote the economic participation of local communities by providing the opportunity to invest in our plants through local cooperative schemes
Sustainability drives everything we do
We operate a distinctive business model which combines economic sustainability with the generation of social and environmental value, and we are constantly striving for innovative ways to deliver our services.
We see ourselves as key to enabling not only our own goals but also those of our stakeholders.
With a business based on our solid and transparent industrial, ethical and social principles we make a tangible contribution to global and local sustainable development which is outlined in our Sustainability Report 2022.
Net benefit for biodiversity
Opportunity to keep the land pesticide and chemical free – enables species to thrive and improves soil quality.
Compared to intensive farming practices, a solar farm brings multi-functional benefits of energy production alongside net environmental gain for habitats and species.
With substantial new planting and ecological connectivity, the project would achieve a net benefit for biodiversity through:
– Enhancing habitat corridors
– Greater foraging opportunities
– Encouraging pollinators
