Involvement with local communities

As a business we are deeply committed to making a positive long-term improvement wherever we operate and we engage closely with communities around the world. We achieve this by engaging with our communities to identify opportunities to make high-impact social investments in the areas of education, health and safety, the environment, human rights, and anticorruption.

We seek to become an integral part of the local community by knowing their needs and helping to provide resources to improve people’s daily lives, valuing local cultures and assets.

The Right Power to the Right People

In Tamaulipas, close to our CGA plant in Mexico, our team is carrying out a special project for a special partner. At CRIT Tamaulipas, one of Fundación Teletón’s rehabilitation centers, new panels will cover half of the facility’s energy needs, freeing up resources that go straight back into the care of the children treated there every day.

It’s a partnership between ContourGlobal and Teletón built on a simple belief: the right energy can transform lives. In line with our purpose, The Right Power Forward, this project is about more than generating power, it’s about making sure that energy reaches those who need it most, bringing hope and opportunity to the community it serves. Watch the video below to see how this project is lighting up a brighter future for the children and families of Teletón.

Fundación Teletón is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing comprehensive, quality care to people with disabilities, cancer, and autism, helping them reach their full potential and be included in society. Every day, the foundation works with the commitment to building a more inclusive Mexico, where everyone can live and fully exercise their rights.

Mexico: Powering Opportunities and Wellbeing

In Cosoleacaque, Veracruz, near our CELCSA CHP plant, two important projects, focused on strengthening local emergency response capabilities and building local skills, have been completed in 2026.

The first one in partnership with Protección Civil, an institution of the Mexican Government focused on Security and Citizen Protection. We supported the renovation of dormitories used by on-duty personnel and donated new uniforms and personal protective equipment (PPE) to help emergency teams carry out their work safely and effectively.

We also partnered with Cecati 72, one of Mexico’s Training Centers for Industrial Work, to establish a welding and sheet metal workshop for young people and adults in the region.

Through the donation of specialized equipment and tools, the center can now offer formal technical training programs that help participants develop valuable professional skills. The initiative strengthens employability within nearby communities while helping create a skilled workforce to support regional industry.

In Altamira, Tamaulipas, close to our CGA combined heat and power plant (CHP) we are currently developing a social investment project in collaboration with Caritas Foundation Project. The initiative includes the installation of a 4.8 kWh Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) at Caritas’ bread and milk production facility, which provides support to low-income families.

Once operational, the system will work alongside the facility’s existing solar installation, helping ensure reliable production even during power outages and grid fluctuations.

The TUMO Box Learning Center in Armenia

The TUMO Box Learning Center is one of our landmark community-based Social Investment Projects, based on the principles of Creating Shared Value, and consisting of a transformative learning network that equips thousands of students with future-ready skills at the intersection of technology and design. The project is indeed aligned with our long-standing, deep-rooted connection to the local community, which has also fostered the development of initiatives such as the AUA Open Education Center. As we continue our journey towards sustainable power generation and a low-carbon future, we recognize the vital role our communities play as partners in this transformation. The establishment of the Tumo Box Learning Centre exemplifies the power of collaboration and strong partnerships across our workforce and local communities.

Celebration of The Severance Days

In the summer of 2025, we sponsored the Severance Days celebration — held in the town of Severance, Colorado — as opportunity to raise awareness of the benefits of renewable energy and to reinforce our ties with the communities surrounding the BHS complex, which first phase has become operational in September 2025.

As a key sponsor, we contributed in-kind support — including stage setup, sound, and emergency services — and took part with a dedicated tent designed to boost interaction during the event. Our ContourGlobal tent was centered at the heart of this traditional festival, packed with activities for families, kids, and adults alike. Many of the workers at our facilities live in this area, and this event has also been an opportunity to further connect with local authorities, neighbors, and landowners — helping raise awareness of our commitment to advance The Right Power Forward, to attract and retain excellent talent, and to ensure our project aligns with the community’s expectations. It was also a valuable occasion to engage with the key stakeholders in the community and to effectively discuss community priorities and partnerships and to embody our commitment to creating shared value responsibly and to demonstrate our sustainable business principle of building strong, reliable partnerships.

Adamavo High School in Togo

For 15 years, our 100 MW Lomé power plant has been powering progress in Togo, delivering reliable electricity and strengthening the country’s energy independence. But we have been also invested more than USD $1.3 million in community projects, focusing on education, healthcare, and local development.

On October 1^st, 2025, we proudly inaugurated the expansion of Adamavo High School, located near our plant. Six new fully equipped classrooms, complete with lighting, fans, and 230 desks will now provide a better learning environment for local students. Since 2010, our long-standing partnership with Adamavo High School has already benefited more than 30,000 students.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony brought together key local community leaders, alongside representatives from the U.S. Embassy in Lomé, Mrs. Djani Epouse Afantchao, Regional Director of Education Grand Lomé, and Carlo Zorzoli, our Head of Europe & Africa. This inauguration is a renovated testament of the company’s role as a trusted partner in Togo’s economic and social development.
