Azura Power’s ambition as a company is to generate power to millions of people in Africa. We want to play our part and help make the world a more equitable place. That also means being committed to gender equality. In implementing our projects Azura Power intentionally takes into account impacts on women and opportunities to empowerment. We support WEPs simply because we adhere to the principles which are reflected across our organization from our HR practices to our management team and in all aspects of our decision-making process. That is why we support the Women’s Empowerment Principles.
