We believe that our ability to meet the challenges of sustainability gives us a competitive advantage. Our strengths are built on efficient production processes utilising renewable and low-carbon energy sources as well as eco-friendly energy products.
We reduce the environmental impacts of our operations
All energy production and distribution impacts the environment. The impacts are created in the different phases of the production chain: fuel procurement, refining, storage and transportation, the energy production process and waste processing. Environmental impacts related to the production and distribution of energy include e.g. climate change, acidification, impacts on water systems and waste generation.
We reduce the environmental impacts from our operations in line with our environmental principles by
Using natural resources efficiently and sparingly
Using renewable and low-carbon energy sources
Mitigating the local environmental impact by using technology and efficient operating and maintenance procedures
We take the surrounding society into consideration
Through our businesses, we interact with millions of people in one way or another. Our operations affect society in a range of ways at the different phases of the supply chain. We make sure the different sub-areas of the supply chain are managed in accordance with principles of sustainability.
We support organisations and communities working to increase social well-being in all the countries where we operate. The focus of our sponsorship programmes is on the future – on children, young people and the environment.
