Greetings!    

AES was named to the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for North America for the second year in a row. The DJSI is based on the Corporate Sustainability Assessment conducted by RobecoSAM.

"Sustainability is very important to AES and we're pleased to once again be recognized by DJSI and RobecoSAM, for our sustainability efforts," said Andrés Gluski, AES President and Chief Executive Officer.  "Improving lives in the communities where our businesses operate has always been a part of AES' values and mission. We are committed to providing infrastructure solutions that support a sustainable social, economic and environmental future."
 
For the first time this year, AES' subsidiary in Chile, AES Gener, participated in RobecoSAM's annual Corporate Sustainability Assessment. AES Gener received the highest rating among all electric utilities for the Environmental Policy/Management System category.

INNOVATION
2015 AES Innovation Congress Award Winner Spotlight

Presenter and author Laura Alfonso, from the Andes SBU, received third place in the Market and Organizational Engagement category with the project: Benchmarking Charts Profitable Course in Adverse Conditions. To determine its optimum commercial strategy, AES Chivor needed a way to measure and address risks and factors that present new opportunities or that could directly impact its bottom line. AES Chivor has instituted a benchmarking process to help the commercial team identify new business opportunities, anticipate significant market changes, support the growth strategy in Colombia and ensure long-term growth with margin stability. Benchmarking enabled the team to develop a commercial strategy that incorporated hydrological and reservoir risk, an ancillary service strategy, sales in the secondary market and resource optimization. In 2014 alone, AES Chivor achieved US $304M of variable margin, a record in the company's history.
