Energy that empowers dreams and ventures

“With a track record in the industry that started in the 1950s, when the company built dams in the Brazilian Northeast, Odebrecht is not only a provider of engineering and construction services but also a producer and investor. Through its teams around the world, the Odebrecht Organization is harnessing and sharing its accumulated experience and knowledge to give its local communities the best it has to offer.”

Lopes Sebastião and Dilma Marçal. He lives in the Angolan province of Uíge; she lives in the Brazilian state of Minas Gerais. Both have only just recently  started using electricity in their homes because their communities are the beneficiaries of government initiatives involving Odebrecht.

Gustavo Checcucci and Fernando Chein. Gustavo works at Braskem, leading the team responsible for managing the energy the company uses. Fernando works at Odebrecht Energia and is spearheading the company’s debut in the wind power segment.

And there are more people like them in this issue of Odebrecht Informa: José Piquetai, from Mozambique, Julio Romano, from Argentina, Pablo Andreão and José Dalvi, from Espírito Santo, Brazil, and many others who, one way or another, have seen their lives change through Odebrecht’s work in the energy sector. They are either the beneficiaries or the people responsible for making those benefits happen, and their stories of work and life attest to the fact that the spirit of service and hope are two sides of the same coin, and each is vital to the other.

With a track record in the industry that started in the 1950s, when the company built dams in the Brazilian Northeast, Odebrecht is not only a provider of engineering and construction services but also a producer and investor. Through its teams around the world, the Odebrecht Organization is harnessing and sharing its accumulated experience and knowledge to give its local communities the best it has to offer. Whether it is the placement of an outlet, switch or lamp, the deployment of a wind farm or the construction of an industrial complex, what matters most is the difference it makes in people’s lives – wherever they are, no matter how many they may be – people with dreams and everyday lives, inspired by the belief that life should be lived to the fullest, with joy, persistence and passion.
