Our Commitments

At Ras Ghareb Wind Energy S.A.E., our commitments to ethics and values, human rights, environmental and social responsibility, and health and safety guide our pursuit of sustainable wind energy. They shape our actions, drive our decisions, and reflect our dedication to a responsible and sustainable future.

Ethics & Values

Our ethical standards and company values are the cornerstone of our operations. We abide by four fundamental principles, set out in our Ethics and Values Charter:

  1. Compliance with laws and regulations
  2. Upholding honesty and business integrity
  3. Demonstrating loyalty to the Company and in relations with external parties
  4. Respect for others and the environment

Human Rights

We are committed to respecting and upholding human rights, guided by the United Nations Guiding Principles. Our commitment is reflected in the following:

  • Respecting internationally recognised human rights.
  • Honouring the fundamental rights of our employees, in line with International Labour Organization conventions.
  • Rejecting all forms of harassment and violence in the workplace, ensuring a respectful work environment that protects individual freedom and privacy.
  • Guaranteeing that our operations do not infringe upon the rights of local communities surrounding our sites.
  • Ensuring that assignments related to employee and asset security respect human rights.

Environmental & Social

RGWE has conducted full Environmental and Social Impact Assessments and adheres to Egyptian environmental regulations alongside the Equator Principles, World Bank and IFC guidelines, and EBRD, JBIC, NEXI, and ILO standards.

We require our contractors to apply equivalent principles and to implement appropriate environmental protection measures, particularly in noise, air quality, and waste management.

Our Environmental and Social Management Plan includes:

  • Precautionary measures to mitigate impacts on the Dabb lizard species.
  • Engagement with Bedouin communities in the project vicinity.
  • Bird-migration monitoring in cooperation with RCREEE, with the ability to halt wind turbines if necessary.
  • An active and accessible grievance response mechanism.
  • Provision of university scholarships for students from the Ras Ghareb area.

Health & Safety

Health and Safety are integral to our project, and we are committed to upholding the highest standards. We work closely with contractors and subcontractors to implement a robust Health, Safety & Environment plan, following best industry practice and applicable laws.

From construction to commissioning, operations, and maintenance, our focus remains on environmental protection and the safety and security of all personnel and stakeholders.

Our "Zero Harm" aspiration can only be realised through collective effort. We encourage a culture of safety awareness and responsibility across all roles and affiliations, promoting a no-blame culture for those who report unsafe conditions or halt work due to safety concerns.

To fulfil this policy, we require all stakeholders to strive continuously for:

  • Zero fatalities
  • Zero injuries
  • Zero significant environmental incidents
  • Compliance with all applicable HSE laws
  • Continuous improvement in HSE practices
  • Compliance with the Company's 9 life-saving rules
  • Effective management and promotion of HSE aspects of the works
