Corporate Social Responsibility
“We work hard to leave a lasting, positive legacy everywhere we work”
The Albatros Energy IPP power plant is located in Hawa-Dembaya, a commune of ten villages, with approximately 10’000 inhabitants.
From the start of the project, it has been the focus of the development team not just to build a power plant and provide reliable and affordable electricity, but to create a positive sustainable impact for the surrounding community.
The Albatros CSR projects are developed in close consultation with the community and its strategic development plan. The people of Hawa-Dembaya are providing manpower and an adequate financial contribution for project maintenance. It is our belief that this will ensure a sustainable sense of ownership.
By researching independent case-studies, interviews with CSR specialist, base-line field studies in Hawa-Dembaya and in-dept exchanges with the community members and its representatives, the following pillars for Albatros’ CSR activities have been identified
