All over, they have engaged initiatives such as repairing sports
facilities, providing community centers, and launching an initiative
to clean up local mangroves to encourage ecotourism. Additionally,
the company is responsible for the development of “Los Farolitos”, an
early childhood school for children who would have otherwise had no
formal access to education. EGE Haina also cultivates environmental
awareness and education in the district surrounding Los Cocos.
Decreasing a carbon footprint by increasing renewable energy
sources may have been the main objective of constructing the wind
farm, but EGE Haina also ensures that its social goals are achieved.
For its many new and ongoing projects, EGE Haina promises to put
the environment first in planning and facilitation. They keep all waste
produced at the legally approved level and at the drop of a hat can
provide supplementary documentation to prove they are operating
above board. They work to reduce the consumption of chemical
materials, exercise caution with water usage and lead by example in
promoting energy efficiency.
They firmly believe in continuous improvement of their processes,
preventing rather than cleaning environmental waste accidents, and
are always proactively prepared to respond to any incidences.
When choosing suppliers and partners, they ensure that they
work with like thinkers who comply with environmental policy and
Dominican regulation. In every facet of daily operations, the basis
of its business is serving people and preserving the health of the
environment.
Though on a whole Dominican energy is still heavily reliant
on fossil fuels, as the leading provider EGE Haina is committed to
investing in innovative solutions and seeking advances in technology.
The company sets a powerful example by being active in preserving
and regenerating natural resources, staff education, reforestation,
waste management, beach, mangrove and river cleanups. In a sense,
they’re not afraid to get their hands dirty to keep their energy clean.
