Taking it to the next level in 2014
A Message from CEO Andrés Gluski 


In 2014, we set out to take it to the next level and we did. AES made a lot of progress towards our long-term strategic objectives even while facing a second year of drought along the Eastern Pacific Rim, from California to Chile, which affected the results of some of our businesses, particularly Brazil and Panama. Nonetheless, we all should feel proud of our accomplishments: first and foremost, it was our safest year on record with no AES people fatalities. We did, unfortunately, have one contractor fatality and a number of serious incidents. While we must recognize the progress we've made thanks to our focus on being always on for safety, we have not reached our goal of an incident free workplace and we can't be satisfied until we achieve this objective.

COMMUNITY MATTERS

AES Amsterdam organizes holiday toy drive
 

The holiday season is here and for many children that means one thing: toys. However, the reality is 10% of children living in the Netherlands live in low-income families. To help make a difference and spread holiday cheer to children in need, AES people working in Amsterdam organized a toy drive. The Amsterdam Office, headquarters of the Europe, Middle East and Africa (EMEA) Strategic Business Unit (SBU), collected new and used toys. The collected toys, including dolls, toy cars, art supplies, books, board games and jig saw puzzles, were donated to the Toy Bank in Amsterdam.
