The initiative was carried out through MGEN’s thermal and renewable energy subsidiaries, reflecting its collective commitment to supporting host communities across its diversified portfolio.
The program covered 44 municipalities, engaging host communities and partner stakeholders. Through HAPAG, MGEN aims to share the spirit of the season with families while strengthening long-standing relationships with the communities where it operates.
“HAPAG reflects MGEN’s commitment to being a responsible partner to our host communities. As our portfolio grows, we remain mindful that progress should be shared – and this initiative is one way we express our gratitude and support to our neighbors where we operate,” said MGEN President and CEO Emmanuel V. Rubio.
Beyond the holiday season, MGEN continues to advance initiatives that promote inclusive growth and community development, reinforcing its mission of powering a better tomorrow – together with the communities it serves.
