Community

TransAlta is committed to the communities where we have operations and where our employees live and work. Where we operate or plan to operate, we are respectful of those living in the area. We regularly consult with our neighbours, and develop and deliver programs that ensure we are welcome. Our community investment program strengthens communities by supporting education, arts and culture, environmental initiatives and those that enhance personal well-being.

TransAlta is also a key driver to the economy of most of our jurisdictions. We provide rewarding work, and inject money into local and regional economies.

TransAlta is committed to conducting business in a manner that is respectful of employees, communities and stakeholders. We also realize that our operations can cause disruption or occasionally create a nuisance to the community through noise, dust or traffic, and can also cause changes to the socio-economic fabric. We work closely with stakeholders to mitigate these potential issues.

Safety is a key company value and our Target Zero program shapes all that we do.
