Environmental

Novatus Energy wind and solar projects deliver clean energy with a focus on reducing environmental impact. Wind and solar energy is a valued source of electric power because:

      • It is a clean fuel source – wind and solar projects produce no solid waste or air emissions.
      • It is a sustainable source of energy – our primary “fuel” (wind and solar energy) is renewable.

Novatus Energy annual power production of approximately 4,600 GWh provides enough clean renewable energy for more than 425,000 homes and reduces CO2 emissions by approximately 2,000,000 metric tons annually – the equivalent of eliminating over 420,000 passenger vehicles!

Social

Novatus Energy is focused on continuing to build strong relationships within the communities in which it operates and upholding its reputation as a trusted partner. One of our top priorities is to support a cleaner environment while fostering economic growth in our local communities. We do this by generating new career opportunities, encouraging partner contactors to hire local subcontractors whenever possible, and community outreach.

Governance

The Novatus Energy Board of Directors is comprised of seasoned professionals in the energy field with a vast range of experiences. Collectively, they set high standards for Novatus Energy, its associates and officers, and aim to foster a culture of performance, transparency, and accountability.

The Board of Directors serve to advise and oversee the management of Novatus Energy, as well as, to assure appropriate business practices and procedures are being followed. The Board of Directors follows the standards, values and procedures set forth in the Code of Ethics.

ES&G Policy

Novatus Energy recognizes that effective management of environmental, social and governance (ES&G) issues can have a significant impact on the long-term operational performance of the company in terms of delivering renewable energy to our customers, the well-being of our associates and communities, the safeguarding of the environment, access to capital, and the growth of the business.

Firms adopting an environmentally sustainable and socially responsible way of operating significantly de-risk their business model, and therefore, deliver better performance and achieve greater cost efficiencies and profitability. These issues are integral to our business.

In developing our ES&G policy, we have considered a range of codes and standards, including the United Nations supported Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), the requirements of our Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy, Code of Ethics, and the input of the Board of Directors and shareholder(s).
