Our sustainability agenda

At ERCON S.A., we believe that the construction sector can be a driving force for sustainable progress. Drawing on our experience in building and civil engineering, we integrate the principles of sustainable development into each and every one of our projects. We are committed to promoting renewable energies through the construction of hydroelectric dams and the installation of solar solutions such as photovoltaic panels. We aim to reduce our environmental footprint by promoting sustainable construction techniques, while creating an inclusive, safe and equitable working environment. Our ambition is to build a greener future for Burundi, by combining performance, innovation and responsibility.

Solar panel installation project in Mubuga

At ERCON, we firmly believe that the future of infrastructure lies in clean, sustainable and accessible energy solutions. Through the Mubuga solar panel installation project, our company has demonstrated its concrete commitment to the principles of sustainable development. This project illustrates our ability to meet real energy needs while respecting the environment. By investing in solar energy, ERCON is not only helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, but also improving access to electricity for local communities. This generates a positive economic impact by promoting local activity and creating jobs in the technical sectors. On a social level, the sustainable electrification of the area improves living conditions, facilitates education, and strengthens the resilience of populations in the face of climatic challenges. This project is a powerful symbol of our commitment to building a cleaner, fairer and more prosperous future.

Ruvyi hydroelectric dam project &102

The hydroelectric dam project is one of the most striking examples of ERCON's commitment to sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructure. This strategic project demonstrates our determination to play an active part in Burundi's energy transition, while integrating the three pillars of sustainable development. Environmentally, the use of hydroelectricity enables the production of clean energy with a low carbon footprint. Economically, this type of infrastructure guarantees stable, sustainable energy production, essential for the development of industries and services. Socially, the dam contributes to the electrification of remote regions, the creation of direct and indirect jobs, and the improvement of living conditions for local populations. ERCON also takes care to integrate the gender dimension at the heart of the project, by encouraging the participation of women at various stages, notably in awareness-raising activities, community management and certain adapted technical components. This approach aims to promote inclusion, strengthen women's economic empowerment and ensure that the benefits of the project accrue equitably to all members of the community.
