Between Genneia and its neighbors, Carolina Langan, head of Social Affairs is responsible for tangible to our corporate ideals: take the guiding principles and give concrete form by creating a link value between those who make up the company and who make up communities where we build our renewable projects. strong>

What does that make up the Social Affairs Integrated Management System Genneia? Strong>
Social issues are constitutive of the management process Genneia What do you mean? We could not carry out our business without understanding that we owe necessarily a healthy bond, mutual respect and lasting all the people who interact daily. Not only is we as a company and within our workplace. Precisely what enriches our work is what "other" (our neighbors, communities where we operate, our suppliers and our customers) we returned and what we can do together, says Langan. Manage incorporating the social dimension involves including the look of the other in our processes and results, thus preventing potential risks, such as capitalizing on joint opportunities for the development of our communities.

What are the principles that guide the management of the "social" within the company? Strong>
Such that we assume in our Social Policy and now in our Integrated Management System in Genneia are committed to developing projects that are sustainable and leave their mark on future generations. Our company values ??are efficiency, commitment, boldness and openness. And from the social addressed them through initiatives that can give a value to the community from what the best business can provide: efficiency and energy autonomy while a positive impact on the care of the environment.

How is this social dimension materializes in the day? Strong>
Basically we are attentive to what happens to communities, what their concerns and needs are; and we try to offer solutions based on what we do, generate power. We provide clear and transparent information about our projects and operations we also intend, while maintaining a fluid contact with those who are our neighbors, especially those projects that are under construction, trying to be alert to possible concerns occasional that may arise under the work itself, to give them a quick fix. Let slowly, and perhaps even in small gestures, but taking steps concrete and thinking about the future and the value we can transfer that, of course, arises from the exchange.

What types of actions conducted? Strong>
Our social investment plan takes into account the particular context of each community, its needs but above all, the potential of each place, to accompany them in their development.
Last month, for example, we started an educational initiative by the Polytechnic School no. 703 in Puerto Madryn, in the province of Chubut, which involves the development of a didactic laboratory study of renewable energy that will allow students an outlet professional work and theoretical and practical knowledge in the field, while heat a room where today can not teach classes from the cold. We gave the initial step of this project, which will be open to the entire community Madryn, installing a tower wind measurement and generating a meeting with students and teachers to better understand the potential of technologies to harness the wind and sun . With this first step, students can determine the intensity of the wind at different heights while calculating the density of the air, two fundamental data for calculating energy production.
Our common goal with the educational institution is to enhance the knowledge of students from a particular experience, encouraging their curiosity about the process of generating clean energy, while promoting a more responsible use of the resources offered by the nature of face to the future. When we talk of creating a shared social value that I meant exactly Langan continued.
On the other hand, during the month of July, we have provided and installed a solar water heater in the Hospital of Pomona supplying the hot water, the same as we did in the barracks Volunteer Fire Villalonga, in the department of Carmen de Patagones , Buenos Aires.
These initiatives are part of the Program Energy Solutions Community em> that we created to offer proposals that generate a daily value in people, in this case, through basic thing such as the use of water, reducing their energy footprint, helping its economy and protecting the environment. We want to move toward our ultimate goal is to lay the groundwork for a cultural change, greater commitment and efficiency. A round trip. In this sense Genneia work in communities is permanently ended.
