Gamesa wishes to contribute to improving living standards and creating wealth, through its own products and services and by promoting economic and social development through non-business channels.

Accordingly, its relationship strategy is built on the following principles:

  • Sensitivity to social change in order to better understand how the needs of society in general evolve and, consequently, anticipate future demands
  • A systematic free flow of truthful information about its activities to generate a climate of trust and credibility
  • Respect for the environment, complying with prevailing law and collaborating to preserve and improve the environment
  • Creation of employment by taking the lead in new competitive business developments
  • Supporting the development of disadvantaged groups and sectors
  • Contributing to raising the scientific and technological level of our society by supporting research and promoting the use of environmentally-friendly technologies and methods
  • Collaborating with institutions as a platform for activity to improve and develop the community.

This sensitivity translates to activities for the development of the socio-economic environments in which the company operates, through community support projects and programmes.

The creation of sustainable employment, contributing to the development of local supply chains that enrich the local socio-economic fabric, and compliance with environmental regulations are some of the company's contributions to social development.

Gamesa influences the communities where it operates above and beyond its business operations, and this is extended into a long-term commitment.

In 2010 Gamesa allocated funds to implement projects of this type in 2011 in India (Tamil Nadu and Anantapur) and Brazil (Sao Paulo and Belem). These projects benefit from financing within the framework of the Caja de Ahorros de Navarra (CAN) programme "You choose, you decide."

Additionally, Gamesa employees collected 61,512 euro for Haiti in 2010. Gamesa undertook to match its employees contributions, which amounted to 30,756 euro (from 447 employees in 11 countries). The funds were donated to UNICEF, which earmarked them for emergency activities in the areas in Haiti affected by the earthquake: supplies (water tanks, electricity generators, hygiene kits, water purification tablets, vaccines, etc.), repair of water and sewage networks, and creation of safe spaces for children.

Gamesa supports the 21st Eco- Entrepreneur programme in order encourage the creation of clean technology companies. The programme facilitates the creation and establishment of innovative companies in the area of renewable energies, energy efficiency, sustainable mobility, water cycle management, and energy from waste.

The company also signed on to support the the Cátedra 35 at the University of Zaragoza. The aim is to promote R&D of new sustainable technologies, favour coordination of research, training programmes, and new studies on the design of wind turbines, components and wind farms.
