Supporting education and creating opportunities for our communities.

Vena Energy has been recognised as an Outstanding Stakeholder by the Department of Education (DepEd), Schools Division of Calbayog City, for our support and contributions towards advancing education in the local community.

Our Philippines team works alongside DepEd Calbayog City and local education stakeholders to support schools and educational programmes, while building sustained partnerships that benefit students, teachers and the wider community.

For us, our commitment to the communities where we operate goes beyond providing clean energy. By supporting education and working closely with local partners, we aim to help create opportunities for young people and contribute to stronger communities.

We thank DepEd Calbayog City for this recognition, and our colleagues and community partners who continue to bring this commitment to life.

Prioritise what matters. Think big. And when it comes to pineapple on pizza… just say no.

Our Chief Investment Officer and Global Head of Vena Nexus, Simone Grasso, features in the latest episode of Watt’s Up.

In conversation with Teo Chee Siong, Senior Manager, Corporate Treasury, Simone shares some of the principles that have guided him throughout his career, from focusing on what matters most and working hard to staying committed and not being afraid to think beyond the boundaries of your role.

He also shares his perspective on clean energy and digital infrastructure, including the increasingly important role of power in data centre development and why data centres can be sustainable infrastructure when designed, built and operated thoughtfully.

And away from work? There’s swimming, time with friends and Mini, some favourite corners of Italy and a very definite answer to the pineapple-on-pizza question.

Watch the latest Watt’s Up with Simone.

A Gold Award - and five years of learning how renewable energy and biodiversity can coexist.

We are proud that Vena Energy’s “Protecting Little Terns with Green Energy” initiative at our Yizhu Solar Project in Chiayi, Taiwan, has received a Gold Award at the 2026 Asia-Pacific Sustainability Action Awards.

Since the development stage, approximately 30% of the project site has been designated as an ecological conservation area. Over the years, we have worked alongside the Kaohsiung Wild Bird Society and Tunghai University to monitor birdlife and ecological conditions and continually adapt how we manage and enhance the habitat.

The results are encouraging. In 2025, monitoring recorded 30 bird species, a peak single count of 1,194 waterbirds and 435 Black-faced Spoonbill sightings — the highest annual number since monitoring began.

Conservation is also something we want to share with the wider community. Through our “Little Tern Trilogy”, Vena Energy employees, local teachers and students came together to create and install 50 Little Tern decoys on the artificial islands while learning more about the local ecosystem.

We believe the energy transition and biodiversity conservation can progress together. By combining science-led management, long-term habitat enhancement and community participation, we hope to keep learning how renewable energy sites can contribute positively to the landscapes they are part of.

Engineering a Greener Future - for energy, nature and communities.

Every great journey begins with curiosity. Every brighter future begins with learning.

Engineering a Greener Future begins with inspiring the next generation.

During our Singapore team's recent retreat in Phuket, colleagues spent the morning with students from Ban Kata School building, learning and enjoying some friendly competition.

Together with the students, the teams:

✔️Built and decorated solar-powered cars
✔️Learnt how sunlight can be converted into clean energy
✔️Put their cars to the test on the racetrack
✔️Worked together to solve problems and achieve a shared goal

Watching the cars spring to life was a wonderful reminder that learning can be hands-on, engaging and inspiring, and that even small experiences can spark an interest in green energy.

Thank you to Ban Kata School for welcoming us and making the experience so memorable.

Vena Energy, together with its project companies across the Philippines, has mobilised resources and volunteers in support of the Department of Education’s annual Brigada Eskwela program, helping create safe, clean and conducive learning environments for thousands of students ahead of the new school year.

In Samar, the Gemini Wind Energy Corp team donated specialised roof paints to 13 public elementary and high schools. In Rizal, Pililla Wind Power Corporation donated paint and cleaning supplies to Bugarin Elementary School, and 33 volunteers, including Vena Energy employees, joined teachers and parents to repaint classrooms and clean common areas. Sembrano Wind Power Corporation is donating 32 stand fans to Malaya and Niogan Elementary Schools.

Other project companies also provided paint and cleaning materials to partner schools within their host communities.

"Our participation in Brigada Eskwela goes beyond preparing classrooms for the start of the school year. It reflects our deep commitment to being a responsible and trusted partner to our host communities," said Samrinder Nehria, Head of Vena Energy in The Philippines.

Seven years of making time to refresh, reset, and recharge.

VENA Day is our annual reminder that our people are at the heart of everything we do.

Whether it was travelling, spending time with loved ones, enjoying a favourite hobby, or simply taking a well-earned break, we hope everyone returned refreshed and re-energised.

Here's to taking care of ourselves, supporting one another, and continuing to engineer a greener future for all.

Our Australian team has partnered with Murilla Kindergarten (an early childhood education centre for children aged three to five) in Miles, Queensland to launch a new After-Kindy Care Programme for local families.

Miles is a rural town in Queensland's Western Downs region, where Vena Energy’s Wandoan South solar and battery precinct is located.

The programme runs Monday to Thursday for up to 10 children daily, bridging the gap between the end of the kindergarten day and the close of the standard working day. For a town like Miles, where after-hours childcare has been limited, this fills a genuine need.

Since launching, the programme has been positively received by the community. Ingrid Uebergang, President of Murilla Kindergarten Association Inc., says: "The programme has reduced barriers to employment and provided families with greater flexibility and financial stability, particularly for mothers returning to work who can now do so knowing their children are in a familiar, high-quality environment."

It's the second time Vena Group has supported Murilla Kindergarten, following a successful application to our Community Sponsorship Programme in 2025 that funded an expansion of the facility’s learning spaces to meet growing enrolment demand in the region.

In celebration of World Environment Day, 19 employee volunteers from our Philippines team gathered at Sitio Kilingan in Antipolo City, Rizal, to join 100 members of the local People’s Organisation, a community conservation group, in the ceremonial planting of 200 seedlings in support of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources' (DENR) Forests for Life programme. Beyond the 200 seedlings, the support and commitment is for the adoption and planting of an initial 50 hectares of forestland with the aim of adopting more areas in the country that require support and where tangible, hands-on actions are needed.

Through this initiative, our volunteers contributed to the Philippines' national goal of planting five million trees by 2028, reinforcing our commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility.

By encouraging employees to actively engage in environmental conservation efforts, the company continues to foster a workplace culture that values sustainability, community partnership, and collective action.
