Key principles Innergex adheres to the following key principles in order to provide a solution to the energy challenges of both today and tomorrow, to protect the environment while optimizing the use of natural resources to produce electricity, and to earn and sustain social acceptance. 1 We believe that people should have access to reliable, affordable, clean and renewable energy. 2 Climate change is real and renewable energy is part of the solution. 3 We believe in a level playing field for electricity procurement. We support carbon pricing or any other means of internalizing environmental and social costs in the price of electricity. 4 We believe in the protection of the environment and in the responsible development of natural resources. We support a comprehensive and efficient regulatory and planning framework. 5 We believe that social acceptance is the cornerstone of successful project development and that strong projects are built on long-term cooperation with stakeholders and by working in collaboration with Indigenous and local communities. 6 We believe in long-term sustainable development that balances People, our Planet and Prosperity. 7 We believe in lasting relationships with our employees, our partners, and our external stakeholders built on respect, transparency and integrity. 8 We believe that Innergex effects change. Engaging with local and Indigenous communities Innergex has made social acceptance a cornerstone of its development strategy and has a successful track record of building long-lasting relationships with local and Indigenous communities. This has proven to be an incredible lever for growth over the years, and it has enabled us to build successful projects that are fully aligned with our sustainable development principles. Whether in the form of shared economic benefits, employment opportunities, shared ownership, or partnership agreements, we recognize our responsibility to help share socio-economic opportunities with local communities.
