LEADERSHIP MATTERS

The panel was moderated by Penny Pritzer, US Department of Commerce Secretary, and included panelists Juan Ricardo Luciano, Archer Daniels Midland CEO, and Howard Ungerleider, Dow Chemical Company Vice Chairman.

Monthly Safety Leadership Message
 
Constructing new plants and facilities brings new MWs online, but also brings some of the most hazardous activities we undertake at AES. In 2016, two of our construction sites have had tragic incidents. There was a fatality at our OPGC II construction project in India and I am saddened to let you know that a second fatality occurred at Eagle Valley, our construction project in Martinsville, Indianapolis on March 2. Based on the facts known to date, I wanted to share more about what happened at Eagle Valley, and what our subsidiaries are doing to strengthen our safety culture and practices.
