In the Sundby Vindpark (Kafjärden), a specific budget is dedicated to environmental and social work in the construction phase. A budget for the production period is dedicated to investment in local initiatives. Participation in an open community hearing at Hån Vindpark in the early phase of construction. This participation was a result of Cloudberry’s community outreach and relationship building, ensuring that our projects are carried out in the best possible way. Cloudberry engaged external consultants to investigate biodiversity at the Björnetjärnsberget wind development project and modified the wind farm layout based on the results of this work. At Hån wind farm dialogue with the local stakeholders resulted in a bike trail called “Unions-leden” in the area around the border of Sweden and Norway, as a part of Cloudberry`s contribution during the construction phase. A project website with updated information regarding projects during development and construction. At Tinnkraft hydro power plant Cloudberry set up benches for hikers in the area. Municipalities and politicians Energy supply locally, local value creation such as jobs on projects and infrastructure. Professional handling of conflicts, sustainability throughout the supply chain and minimizing the environmental impact. Recommend that the company enters into dialogue with the local community at an early phase. Dialogue and meetings with the municipalities, politicians and authorities. The development and production of wind and hydro power are highly regulated in both Norway and Sweden, including stringent environmental regulations. The company maintains a continuous dialogue with authorities and local stakeholders and held several meetings with the municipalities where our projects are located e.g., Sundby (Kafjärden), Munkhyttan and Düvhällen wind farm projects. Simpevarp project managers held regular dialogue with local stakeholders, visiting local municipalities, events, and businesses and held meetings with local politicians and interest groups. The dialogue improved our understanding of the community and established a good baseline for future discussions. In all our projects we have the policy to work with local suppliers as far as possible and to use local companies for food and accommodations.
