Positive community contributions
We work to make a positive contribution to the development of the local area were we operate. Depending on the market and the local conditions, this may include local jobs, business development or financial contributions in the form of Local Council contributions or community grants.
Local community development
OX2 has a clear ambition to provide local jobs wherever possible. Maintaining a close dialogue with local communities is therefore important, not just for anchoring the project but also for engaging the services of local businesses for construction, accommodation, catering, and ongoing activities. Maintaining a dialogue with local residents is also important for identifying local interest groups. Through cooperation with these groups, OX2 is able to help their activities continue as undisturbed as possible while the wind or solar farm is being established.
Over the coming years, OX2 will maintain its open dialogue with local communities, work with local businesses and increase the spread of knowledge about the climate benefits of wind and solar power.
Examples of promoting local jobs

Local expertise in Vaala
In Vaala, Finland, OX2 is building the Metsälamminkangas wind farm. OX2 has engaged local expertise and services for the construction work. Schroderus, a family-owned company has been involved in several phases of the construction. The company is run by brothers Jan and Joni and their father Jouko Schroderus.

Training program for miners
OX2 together with the Polish Windhunter Academy is implementing a pilot training program for former miners for the needs of wind energy. This is a training project dedicated to miners leaving mines. It gives them a real opportunity to retrain and find a new place of employment.
Target
Positive development of the community affected by the establishment of a renewable energy project.
