The governor of **Mendoza, Alfredo Cornejo**, participated last Thursday in the Second Compliance and Integrity Conference organized by **EMESA (Energía Mendoza Sociedad Anónima)**, where he emphasized the importance of **consolidating transparency policies and developing clean energies** in the province.
*”Argentina cannot lag behind in adopting international transparency standards,”* said the governor, while announcing that **the upcoming energy management period in the province will prioritize the expansion of renewable energies**, with private investment playing a leading role and technical support from the government.
## EMESA: International Certification and Leadership in Clean Energies
Cornejo highlighted the strategic role of **[EMESA](https://emesa.com.ar/renovables/)** as a key player in **[provincial energy transition](https://noticiasambientales.com/energia/transicion-energetica-corea-del-sur-convierte-residuos-plasticos-en-hidrogeno-limpio-usando-solo-sol-y-agua/)**, pointing out that the company has **doubled its installed solar energy capacity** and attracted **private investments with public support**.
He also praised the achievement of the **international ISO 37301 certification**, which endorses its **compliance with regulations and good governance practices**. *”EMESA is gaining prominence, and there are already plans for 1,000 megawatts of solar energy for the next phase,”* he stated.
## Institutionalism and the Fight Against Corruption
During the conference, Cornejo reviewed prominent institutional policies in Mendoza:
– The **Public Ethics Law**, which establishes control mechanisms and access to information.
– The **Clean Record Law**, which **prevents individuals with criminal convictions from running for office**.
– The **Asset Forfeiture Law**, used to recover assets obtained through corruption, such as the **emblematic case of the mansion of former mayor Luis Lobos**.
*”In Mendoza, nothing is improvised. Every action is planned with political will,”* he emphasized.
## Compliance as an Institutional Culture
The event also served to **reaffirm the role of public companies as models of ethical and efficient management**. *”Compliance is not a mere formality. It is a culture,”* summarized **Pinti Clop**, one of the distinguished voices of the conference.
In conclusion, Cornejo called for **strengthening cooperation between the government, academia, and civil society** to build a province where *”transparency and accountability are not the exception, but the rule.”*
