Andrés Gluski promotes free trade agreements
Andrés Gluski, AES President and CEO, discussed "Why Free Trade Agreements Should Matter to All of Us" in a guest blog post for the US Department of Commerce. Andrés, who serves on the US President's Export Council, outlined two primary reasons why free trade agreements (FTAs) are important:
- Overall, free trade has made the world a better place. Hundreds of millions of people have been lifted out of poverty, largely due to the opportunities freer trade has provided them.
- There are important geopolitical effects from FTAs. When the US enters into FTAs, it allows us to play a role in the future of the global economic system. If the US retreats from trade engagements with other countries, others will be more than happy to take our place.

Monthly Safety Message from Manuel Perez Dubuc
As part of the great family of AES, it is our commitment to establish mechanisms that allow us to measure the risks in different aspects of our lives, at home, at work and within our communities. Our safety is in our hands. Once we identify risks, it's up to each of us to control and mitigate them, and it is for this reason that we aim to foster a 24/7 (24 hours a day - 7 days a week) safety culture. Working to build a world-class safety culture in the Mexico, Central America and Caribbean (MCAC) SBU, we have undertaken a series of initiatives with an emphasis on the human side of our organization. We believe that focusing on the human aspect of safety is necessary to further reinforce and strengthen behaviors that will prevent incidents and positively influence our safety culture.

Monthly Cybersecurity Message from Scott Goodhart
Did you know that 80 percent of cyberattacks originate from an innocent person clicking on a malicious website link or email attachment? In fact, many high profile organized cybercriminals rely on the spear-phishing technique, a very common form of social engineering, to infiltrate companies and governments for the purpose of stealing intellectual property, trade secrets or other confidential information. Often spear-phishing emails appear to come from an official or trusted source but ask the recipient to do something out of character such as clicking on a strange link or taking an action outside of normal business processes (such as sending funds without proper authorization mechanisms).
