Commitment to the Community
At Energía Costa Azul we believe in and work for the integral development of the communities to which we belong. We have implemented several social programs in partnership with local organizations that allows us to offer to the training of talent and contribute to the growth of the local workforce.
During the more than 12 years that we have been operating in Ensenada, and as part of our commitment to the community, we have helped thousands of local people by investing in several causes and programs, including cultural and sports events sponsorships, benefitting our most vulnerable population groups.
