In
2009 Methanex started a new social responsibility project
to support an energy efficiency program in the Colegio
Contardi, a public school located in the city of Punta
Arenas. The objective is to include energy efficiency
as part of the educational program of the school, to
improve energy consumption and to get an environmental
and energy certification for the school facilities.
We also recently
commissioned an independent study to help the region
envision its plans for future growth and development.
The final report, “Economic and Social Development
of the XII Region: Contribution of Methanex and Growth
Motors as at 2018,” was prepared by Roberto Zahler,
a well-known economist and former president of the Central
Bank of Chile. The study includes valuable information
on future economic projections for Magallanes and outlines
the positive impact of methanol production and natural
gas exploration and development activities on the region
and its inhabitants. |
