Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation is committed to delivering social investment that supports the Yindjibarndi community and contributes to stronger, more resilient communities across the Pilbara.
Our approach focuses on building capability, opportunity and resilience rather than short term or one off outcomes. Social investment sits alongside equity ownership as part of a broader commitment to ensuring renewable energy development delivers meaningful and lasting benefits.
Since inception, YEC has delivered community investment aligned with priorities identified by the Yindjibarndi, supporting culture, employment pathways, community wellbeing and the preservation of creative and knowledge practices. These initiatives also contribute to broader community outcomes in Roebourne, Karratha and surrounding areas.
