Social

Our social pillar guides our approach to social issues, including human rights protection, the support we provide to communities, and how we support our employees.

We support social progress in three ways. First, through the responsible operation of our business, which provides communities with access to energy, employment opportunities, and investment. We are committed to providing meaningful employment opportunities and promoting the social and economic development of the communities we serve. We do this in accordance with robust policies to ensure responsible business practices regarding human rights, employment practices, and fair business practices.

Secondly, beyond the social value we create through our business activities, we contribute to communities through our social investment activities, including Solarcentury Africa’s solar power project for three schools in Balama, Mozambique, and the provision of 500,000 free cookstoves through our Improved Cookstoves Initiative in Rwanda.

Finally, the BB Energy Foundation is an independent entity funded by BB Energy, supporting projects that improve health and educational outcomes for women and children in priority areas worldwide.
