Community Investment

We intend that our investments into our community create a lasting impact. It is not sufficient to donate funds without a vision for the future of the community. A simple test of our success is: if Atlantic LNG did not exist tomorrow, would our community continue to thrive and prosper?

The first step in achieving this vision of a sustainable community is a strategic approach to philanthropy. Our criteria for evaluating community investment opportunities are based on the principle that donations of funds, time and materials are merely the first step in creating a sustainable community. Our first priority in community investment is that our efforts must create the structures and knowledge for a long-term benefit to the people that live and work in Point Fortin and Trinidad and Tobago. For Atlantic LNG, long-term benefit entails skills, knowledge and leadership
of people. Much of our community investment is therefore focused on education and training. Our vision is to provide the tools for the next generation of entrepreneurs, community leaders and role models. We embody this through initiatives such as the Trinidad and Tobago National Vocational Qualification (TTNVQ) and Point Fortin’s
Finest.

A sustainable community encompasses the infrastructure needed for a stable economy. To prosper, communities and businesses need physical infrastructure, health care, access to information, financial structures and education facilities. While the implementation is the responsibility of government, Atlantic LNG believes that we can be a sponsor and participant to assist our community. We embody this partner role through initiatives such as the Point Fortin Community Swimming Pool and recreational facilities at Guapo Beach in Point Fortin.
