Committed to advancing the energy transition towards a more sustainable future
At Aquila Clean Energy Asia Pacific (APAC), we aim to help decarbonise the region’s economy by investing in, developing, constructing and operating clean energy assets. As part of this, we carefully consider which assets we pursue and how they are developed. Additionally, robust ESG management is crucial throughout the entire value chain of our projects and their lifetime.
Maree Myerscough, COO & General Counsel
Being in renewables, we are part of the sustainable solution needed to move forward the region’s clean energy targets, but we do not take our position for granted. We are constantly pushing ourselves to do better and ensure we have the proper tools and processes in place to reach and exceed our environmental and social goals.
Our sustainability plan for project delivery
We integrate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations throughout our value chain. Guided by our Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS), we identify and manage ESG risks and opportunities across every stage of the project lifecycle.
By combining regional expertise with local insights, we tailor our ESG tools and processes to each market while maintaining consistent standards across our business. We aim to go beyond regulatory requirements by applying lessons learned and continually improving our approach.
Stakeholder engagement process
We engage with stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle, ensuring they are identified and involved at the appropriate stages of project development. Through open dialogue and long-term relationships, we seek to understand local perspectives and incorporate them into decision-making.
Across all our projects, we follow these principles for stakeholder engagement. We also require our project development partners, consultants, contractors and suppliers to apply the same approach.
• Consultation: Engage potentially affected communities as early as possible through appropriate channels, such as local newspapers, mail drops, community meetings or project websites.
• Disclosure: Provide clear, accessible and culturally appropriate information about the project.
• Grievance management: Encourage feedback through appropriate grievance mechanisms and ensure concerns are addressed transparently.
We work with our neighbours and host communities to deliver initiatives that reflect our ESG commitments and create shared value. We prioritise initiatives that:
• Prioritise vulnerable or disadvantaged members of the community.
• Support environmentally sustainable initiatives that reduce emissions while delivering broader social, economic, health or safety benefits.
• Participate in community development initiatives that address local needs.
