Published on March 2, 2026

St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited (LUCELEC) has set a new internal benchmark for environmental volunteerism, with close to one hundred of the Company’s more than 280 employees contributing to a record 374 volunteer hours over the past year in support of environmental sustainability initiatives across the island.

The milestone effort formed part of LUCLEC’s Volunteer Programme and was delivered in collaboration with key partners, including the Ministry of Agriculture.

The most recent activity took place on a bright Saturday morning at the Clendon Mason Memorial Secondary School in Dennery and was the Company’s second planting exercise in support of the Ministry’s Sustainable Snack Initiative.

The initiative focuses on cultivating local fruit trees to promote healthy eating among students while enhancing green spaces on school campuses. During the activity, volunteers and students planted lime, lemon and soursop trees, along with fat poke plants to create a natural hedge around the school’s perimeter.

Among those taking part were 5-year-old Shai and student Angella Joseph who both played an active role in beautifying the school grounds.

Forest Officer attached to the Dennery Range; Marthas Peter underscored the importance of partnerships in advancing national sustainability goals.

LUCELEC’s Corporate Communications Officer, Richmond Felix, noted that employee response to the initiative was overwhelming and was a physical manifestation of the Company’s commitment to a greener future.

Principal of the Clendon Mason Memorial School, Alpheus Ignace, highlighted the educational and community benefits of the initiative.
