Corporate social responsibility

At Atura Power, corporate social responsibility touches everything we do. As a subsidiary of OPG, which is owned by the people of Ontario, we have a leadership role to play in building strong communities.

What corporate social responsibility means to Atura Power

With four stations and more projects planned around the province, Atura Power is a part of communities across southern and eastern Ontario.

Being a part of a community means doing business the right way as we help Ontario transition to a low-carbon future. It means being engaged in the well-being of our host communities by giving back and helping local causes. And it means remaining committed to the safety of our teammates and neighbours, and protecting the sustainability of surrounding environments.

Community citizenship program

Atura Power supports our local communities through our Community Citizenship program, which has included support for food banks, homeless shelters, hospitals, educational bursaries, environmental initiatives, and community events. In addition, each of our generating station teams support a host of local initiatives and causes, some of which are listed below.

The Oakville office has supported the Acton Fire Fighters Association, Halton Learning Foundation, Kerr Street Mission, Trees for Halton Hills, and WOSS Robotics.

Our Brighton Beach station supported Autism Services Inc., Erie Wildlife Rescue, Sandwich Teen Action Group, St. Clair College, Farrow Riverside Miracle Park, Windsor Goodfellows, the Welcome Centre Shelter for Women & Families, and the Windsor/Essex County Food Bank with donations. The plant also donated fire extinguishers to the St. Clair College Firefighter Education and Training program for training purposes.
