2022 HERO Inductees

2022 HERO INDUCTEES $400k in Scholarships Awarded for Heritage's HERO Programme

Heritage CEO Arlene Chow with the 2022 inductees of the HERO programme.

One of Heritage's flagship Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) initiatives under our social sustainability focus is the Heritage Education Resource Opportunity (HERO) programme. The programme is aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) to empower future leaders. Four students from our fenceline communities were inducted into the HERO programme on October 19, 2022. The ceremony was held at the Santa Flora Office and hosted by the Corporate Communications Department.

HERO, which has been in existence for three years, awarded each recipient a $100,000 scholarship for outstanding performance in their Secondary Entrance Assessment (SEA). This scholarship will assist with their education expenses from secondary school to university over the next ten years. To date, 11 students who attended primary schools in Palo Seco and Santa Flora are enrolled in the programme.

Heritage is delighted to provide an avenue to benefit students from our fenceline communities as education is one of the core pillars of our ESG mandate. We continue to identify and cultivate a group of upstanding citizens who will significantly contribute to their communities, and by extension, Trinidad and Tobago.
