We are fully committed to Madagascar’s progress

Our commitments

Our commitments have been defined on the basis of the results of socio-environmental studies. We are dedicated to aligning these commitments with the various local and regional development frameworks to ensure synergy and integration.We consider the principles of sustainable development in all our achievements and impact management actions, with the involvement of all our stakeholders.

Encouraging our employees to work responsibly is an integral part of our way of doing things. We build relationships of trust with our stakeholders, based on respect for regulations, dialogue and transparency.

Governance

We are convinced that the success of an investment project is also based on the application of standards and best practices of integrity and ethical behavior in all aspects of its business dealings with stakeholders.

We have put in place tools to ensure the effective management of our activities. We have also lent our support to promoting good governance among our stakeholders.

Transparency

We regularly organize meetings and information sessions with our stakeholders: national and regional authorities, local authorities, national and international partners, the media, communities and the diaspora.

We produce materials to reach all our stakeholders. We have set up a grievance management tool aligned with IFC requirements to collect and process any complaints related to our project. Its operationalization is being developed with stakeholders.

Code of ethics

We have a formal ethical code that applies to all our employees in the performance of their duties, setting out rigorous rules of conduct in line with our values and best practices.

Control

We apply control procedures through audits carried out by external firms who examine operational compliance in finance and accounting.

We apply the remote filing systems set up by the National Tax Office, which reduce potential tax errors and fraud. We comply with this standardized working method.

Roilahy Jonah
MP elected in Tamatave 2

The Volobe area is an isolated zone where basic social and economic infrastructures leave much to be desired. Despite the presence of the Volobe 1 hydroelectric plant in the commune of Ambodilazana since 1931, the area is not electrified. As elected representatives of the local population, we would like to have priority access to the new plant. A legitimate and justified request, given the economic potential of this area, which has always supplied Tamatave with agricultural produce.

RAKOTOVAO Andry,
Governor PI Atsinanana region

Many companies have been wanting to set up in Tamatave for years. The lack of sufficient energy to support their activities is one of the obstacles to revitalizing the regional economic fabric. In synergy with the port extension, the realization of the Volobe project will be a considerable asset in creating economic opportunities, particularly in the field of industrialization. The Atsinanana region is already preparing by putting in place all the necessary conditions to ensure that the installation of the project will be beneficial to the region.

KOTONIRINA Robert,
Chairman of the Toamasina Chamber of Commerce and Industry (CCIT)

The production, processing, service and export sectors suffer from this electricity problem, not only in terms of cost, but above all in terms of sufficient availability to meet operators' needs. The arrival of the Volobe amont project is a ray of hope for us, so that each sector can develop and compete on regional, national and international markets.

Economic operator Toamasina,
Entreprise Mazava

Working in the field of civil engineering (construction and buildings), we have noticed a significant problem due to the lack of electricity supply. This difficulty penalizes the economy.While construction depends mainly on the financial capacity of our customers, most of whom are private individuals, household incomes are falling, so the construction market is largely suffering. Increased access to reliable electricity will bring a concrete improvement.

Notable from Ambodilazana

For almost a century now, generation after generation of the population has lived in desolation in Volobe. Even though we live nine kilometers from the Volobe 1 dam, we live in darkness. We want positive change so that our children can flourish.The improvement and construction of roads, the implementation of social projects and the support provided by the CGHV for economic development are all perfectly in line with our aspirations. We are convinced that the realization of this project is our last chance.

Women in Ambodikily

The daily difficulties faced by the majority of women are linked to the lack of access to electricity. Whether in terms of health, our children's education or our economic activities. We have to walk for miles to reach a market to sell our products. Some women find it difficult to get medical treatment or to reach a health center to give birth because there are no means of transport.The Volobe project is not just about building a dam, it's also about putting in place the various infrastructures to meet our needs. It will create a new era of development in our area. We are confident.

RABEMANANJARA Elire, Chairman of FIZATO, Tamatave diasporas

Increasing productivity and strengthening the acceleration of economic growth by creating a secure investment climate are among the challenges that all players must meet to develop the Atsinanana region and the ex-province of Tamatave. The availability of good quality, abundant electricity is one of the sine qua non conditions for achieving this. The good progress of the Volobe project will enable us to look forward to supporting all the commitments that will lead to the successful development of the region and the province. As natives of the province, we have a responsibility to mobilize all the vital forces to unite and align themselves with the trajectory mapped out for the prosperity of our province.

Young people

Our main concern is employment. Of course, we are aware that some jobs need to be qualified, but as planned during the various consultations, the CGHV has promoted the use of local skills according to their abilities. We are also ready to receive training to meet the requirements of the project. Some of us have already had some experience thanks to the various activities the project has been carrying out for some time, but we're looking for more stable jobs.
