Electricity is a unique product that has the power to enhance the quality of life for people throughout the world. Companies who have this power must also demonstrate responsibility. For a global wholesale generating company like International Power, this equates to following fair and ethical principles to govern the way we manage and conduct our business. It means working more smartly – by ensuring our key competencies, technical expertise and best practices are properly implemented over a widely dispersed and diverse range of assets to produce power, water and process heat more safely and cleanly. It also means that Corporate Responsibility (CR) as a specific element forms an integral part of our business decisions and contributes to our global competitiveness and reputation.

Establishing a sound reputation requires commitment at all levels of the company. We work hard to build long-term sustainable partnerships in the communities in which we operate. Our strategy is to provide local employment, support the local economy and act as a responsible neighbour and employer whilst contributing to the improvement of local health and education services. In those instances where we share ownership of an asset, we encourage our partners to adopt our CR standards and principles, typically through influence at business level board meetings.
