GDF SUEZ - GASODUCTO NOR ANDINO is committing to preserve biodiversity in Argentina and in Chile

Financing of numerous actions whose goals are to protect the ecosystem in Yungas and contribute to its sustainable development, especially in the upper basin in Rio Bermejo and its geographical zone.

Improvement of the quality of life of the local communities (hydroelectric energy offered to the Naranjos community in 2003) and reinforcement of their cultural identity with their own organization system. The system will provide electricity to around 100 families. The access to electricity will allow them to conserve perishable goods in refrigerators, illumination, etc, which means a great improvement of their quality of life.

Studies about the environmental impact and participation of the communities to the project. The collaboration between Nor Andino and the local NGOs allowed to finalize the project since 1999. Every Program is constantly evaluated by GASODUCTO NOR ANDINO and all relevant organizations by sending updated information to  the company to define the strategies and to solve daily problems. Periodic meetings with the ONGs are also held.
