2. Improvement of quality of life
RATCH Group’s power plants have engaged with activities that promote and improve the quality of life. The activities were based on the public hearing on community needs when the power plants were in the development stage, to promote community engagement and ensure their maximum benefits. The activities also address the power plants’ goal in being a good neighbor that improves community quality of life.
All power plants started off with the employment of local workers, to generate income, promote a sense of ownership and strengthen the local economy. Activities that support community needs follow.
