    AES El Salvador: Sustainability and inclusion for social well-being
    In AES El Salvador, we work jointly with the communities to promote their sustainable development. We achieve this thanks to a solid Social Responsibility strategy based on two important pillars: sustainability and inclusion. 

    Under this strategy, issues such as education in energy efficiency, economic inclusion and gender equality, as well as the protection of natural resources and biodiversity, are approached through our axes AES Educación, AES Medio Ambiente, AES Mujer and AES Energía Rural.
