Together with our affiliates and our employees, we help a wide variety of non-profit organizations through leadership, volunteer activity and financial contributions in the areas of education, health and the environment. Brookfield Renewable Power is a proud partner in the communities in which we operate.
We endeavor to develop strong relationships with a variety of organizations through partnerships that reflect our commitment to the community. These partnerships reflect our position as a leading renewable energy company and emphasize our long-term commitment to the facilities.
Public Consultation
Building strong partnerships in our communities is critical to the success of every development projects. Because community dialogue is a vital component in establishing and maintaining our relationships, we start a dialogue with residents early in the project development process to introduce the project and solicit early feedback on our proposal. This relationship continues long after our projects are completed.
Community Investment
Our philanthropic activities range from support for local community projects to leadership participation on behalf of major public charities and institutions.
United Way (Canada)
Brookfield Renewable Power is a strong supporter of United Way/Centraide. Since the campaign started, in 1999, we have raised over $1,000,000 for the United Way through annual campaign activities and employee donations. United Way is made up of 122 volunteer-based United Ways – Centraides. Its mission is “to improve lives and build community by engaging individuals and mobilizing collective action”.
Corporate Citizenship and Philanthropy
At Brookfield Renewable Power, we believe that making a positive contribution to the communities in which we operate is fundamental to the way we do business. Through various initiatives, the goal of our corporate citizenship program is to use both our human and financial resources to help enrich the lives of those in need within our markets. We seek to instill a culture of charitable giving and volunteerism amongst our colleagues and business partners.
