| Abstract | LaGeo S.A. de C.V. , a company dedicated to the production and commercialization of electricity generated from geothermal sources, has worked since its creation as a private entity in November 1999 to become an exemplary corporate citizen in the context of National Development. Much experience has been gained in the implementation of projects and management systems related to social responsibility, beyond strictly legal requirements. This experience has helped new geothermal projects be accepted by the communities where they are built. |
