Corporate Social Responsibility & the Novum Foundation
Novum Energy is deeply committed to corporate social responsibility and strives to create a positive and lasting impact in the communities where we operate. We believe in supporting vulnerable individuals and leveraging our resources to drive positive change. To achieve this mission, we have established various initiatives, including cultural, recreational, and philanthropic programs that benefit local communities. Additionally, we foster a culture of giving among our employees, encouraging them to engage in meaningful philanthropic work that extends beyond our daily business operations.
The Novum Foundation
As we continue to expand our global footprint, we recognize the importance of formalizing our approach to charitable activities and contributions. With this goal in mind, we established the Novum Foundation in 2023. Our mission is to energize the communities in which we work by partnering with stakeholders focused on holistic education, health, and well-being to build a more sustainable world. The Novum Foundation operates independently with its own board and governance and receives a proportion of the Novum Energy Group’s profits to support charitable initiatives in the communities where we operate worldwide.
Within its first year of operation, the Foundation has already made a significant impact by supporting several nonprofit organizations in the United States, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, and Argentina. In 2024, we added the UK and Africa and have now funded the projects of 18 organizations in six countries.

Corporate Philanthropy
In addition to the Novum Foundation's efforts, Novum Energy continues to support exceptional organizations through corporate philanthropy. These organizations include:
● Houston Museum of Natural Science: Novum proudly partners with the Houston Museum of Natural Science in their mission to preserve and advance the general knowledge of natural science while maintaining and promoting a top-class museum. As a co-sponsor of the new exhibit, "Sharks! The Meg, The Monsters & The Myths," we actively engage our community in science education.
● Houston Grand Opera: Headquartered in Houston, Novum is a major donor to the Houston Grand Opera, one of the country's premier opera houses located in the second largest theater district in the United States. In addition to general support, Novum has underwritten the production of the Mariachi opera, "El Pasado Nunca Se Termina," helping to bring diverse voices to the opera world.
● Autism Speaks: Novum actively participates in Autism Speaks fundraising events and sponsors the annual Autism Speaks Run to raise awareness for autism and support scientific research into autism spectrum disorders.
● ReelAbilities: Novum supports ReelAbilities, Houston's free festival dedicated to presenting films, art exhibitions, performances, and speakers that celebrate the lives, stories, and talents of people with disabilities. Our partnership enriches Houston's culture, diversity, and inclusion efforts.
● Project Niger: Novum supports Project Niger, a Spain-based NGO that builds schools and infrastructure in rural Niger while promoting communication between schools in Spain and Niger. This vital infrastructure development in rural Niger aims to address the educational needs of underserved communities, creating safe and conducive learning environments for children who previously lacked access to quality education. By investing in schools and infrastructure, we are empowering future generations and helping to break the cycle of poverty. Additionally, initiative encourages pupils to discover new cultures and fosters a sense of global understanding.
