OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PEOPLE

(GRI EU6, EU8) (SDO 7) T : Access to clean energy and efficient use T : Creating jobs

With this new technology, we are moving from an outsourcing to an insourcing model with talent that has been already developed by CMI Capital. This opens up great opportunities for growth for our staff as, in this new scenario, the role of our workers is more active. It enables them to build new capacities focused on operational excellence, training them for world-class technology tasks.

The objective for 2020 is to reach full implementation of the Apollo project.

ii OTHER PROJECTS 2019

Job stability: Self-operation of the Choluteca, Orosí and Eolo projects.

Throughout the year, the Energy Business Unit negotiated with operating and maintenance service providers O&M and financial entities, the end of the O&M contracts to manage these activities directly with our own staff. This strategy provides job stability to many technicians and business operators to extend the life of assets with long-term maintenance strategies to generate savings in unnecessary service and spare parts costs.

Inventory and Warehouse Management

Our warehouses are managed by different platforms, which is why it is necessary to create uniform and approved processes. To serve several projects at the same time, the aim is to store the spare parts in places where they can be easily moved. This initiative, together with process standardization, will have a positive financial impact, reduce risks, generate greater efficiency in purchases and provide greater control over management. This will reduce the impact on the use of resources and provide simplified logistics to reduce emissions generated on the planet.

Distributed Generation – Integrating projects at the corporate level

In 2019, the implementation of three out of ten distributed generation projects began. This consists of placing solar panels in different operations of the CMI Corporation, generating efficiency at a low price. More information about distributed generation can be found in section 2.4.3 of this chapter.
