People Positive
We believe the energy transition can and should benefit everyone. We believe in creating opportunities and ensuring respect comes above all. In each community, we strive to make a positive contribution to lives and livelihoods while focusing on a Just Transition. This includes improving access to STEM education and green skills training for people in under-served communities in the regions we operate in.
We will implement Community Engagement Plans in each of the communities where Drax owns and operates an asset, including a consultation and informed participation process, by the end of 2027.
