AES SUSTAINABILITY

In collaboration with our partners, we develop and implement programs to strengthen local knowledge of electricity and how to use it safely and efficiently. These programs aim to promote a culture of safety first in the communities we serve.

AES' rural electrification programs expand electricity access to households and communities, improving their quality of life. Through improved energy access, we aim to open up opportunities for businesses to grow and for community members to benefit from improved living standards, education health services and more.

AES strengthens local infrastructure and services to provide access to basic needs such as health services and water. Through these efforts, we are collaborating with our partners to enhance the well-being and resilience of the communities we serve.

In collaboration with our partners, we empower communities through STEM education, partnership curricula development, capacity building workshops, educational tours of our sites, and skill development initiatives. Collectively, these initiatives better equip the workforce and future leaders with knowledge and tools for success.

AES seeks to empower women by implementing initiatives which focus on expanding the energy workforce. We offer technical trainings, career development opportunities, and certification programs, enabling women to gain experience and expand their job opportunities in the industry.

In collaboration with our partners, we implement programs to train and strengthen the skills of entrepreneurs or future entrepreneurs to develop or expand their small businesses. Through these programs, we aim to strengthen local economies and drive business growth.

AES aims to protect and enhance biodiversity, partnering with local organizations to protect wildlife, restore coastal and land environments, and support reforestation efforts

Alongside landowners and partners we invest in dual-use projects which co-locate renewable energy projects with agricultural or land-use activities. By designing sites that support livestock grazing, pollinator habitats, and crop cultivation, we aim to preserve land, enhance soil health, and develop projects that maximize positive contribution to the environment and community 

AES promotes environmental education by partnering with organization to expand access to high-quality classroom resources, field trips, digital content, and hands on learning experiences. Through these initiatives, we aim to equip students and communities with the knowledge to become environmental stewards

Through partnerships and contributions, AES strengthens community safety by investing in disaster preparedness. By equipping communities with the right tools, resources, and training, we enhance their ability to respond to disasters and emergencies and recover more effectively. 

AES supports critical community infrastructure and programs, including food banks, emergency shelters, and resilience hubs to help strengthen communities in their ability to adapt, recover, and thrive in the face of challenges and emergencies.

AES’ global volunteer program seeks to address community needs and support frontline workers by enabling employees to contribute their time and skills to make a meaningful impact where they live and work.
