Responsibility

A growing energy sector can benefit local economies through the creation of direct work opportunities in the industry. More significantly, the sector can have the indirect impact of increasing employment, revenue and support for infrastructure development, education, lodging and restaurants.
In this context, Eco demonstrates its commitment through its decade-old social responsibility programmes, focusing on education and skills development.
