Corporate social responsibility
SILIKEN was created with a philosophy to promote renewable energies with high potential in our country, such as solar photovoltaic power and wind power. Our management team is clearly committed to the use of unlimited natural resources as a source of energy, as opposed to other systems which, due to cost, shortages or environmental contamination, will be replaced by renewable energies in the future.
With this method, in the future, self-sufficiency through the use of clean renewable energy will be possible and there will be no need to rely on third-party fossil fuels imports. This is our long-term objective: to reach a point where there is energy self-sufficiency to cover the needs of every society and where this situation is compatible with energy production with no associated environmental costs.
As we are fully aware of our social responsibility, at SILIKEN we are committed to clean plants and production processes that do not emit pollutants or that reduce them as much as possible and to energy saving. Furthermore, the majority of our plants have photovoltaic installations on their roofs in order to contribute to energy saving and the reduction of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere.
The sale of all our products is later translated into new photovoltaic installations which help increase the energy self-sufficiency of each environment, in addition to this energy being obtained in a manner which is completely innocuous for the environment. The impact our activity generates is, therefore, always very positive.
We firmly believe that a company dedicated to renewable energies, in addition to the contribution it makes with its activities, must set an example for sustainable development in all areas. The impact we generate in each environment is, therefore, always very positive.
Another of our commitments is persistent investment in constant quality improvements and in R&D&I to develop new and better products in the renewable energy sector.
We also collaborate on various different projects for raising social awareness of issues related to renewable energy and on training and practice programmes with universities. Since 2006 we have also provided the materials and funds for an electrification project for rural schools in Nicaragua.
