Sustainability targets

We are committed to carbon neutrality and protecting biodiversity. Our core business – reliably delivering clean energy – is more important than ever. We are once again one of the cleanest energy generators in Europe, and have the ambition to become a leader in sustainability.

We believe there can be a healthy balance between the wellbeing of people, the needs of societies, the success of businesses and the diversity of nature. We are committing to ambitious sustainability targets that extend beyond climate neutrality and take a firm stand in protecting biodiversity. We also want to be known as the company that cares about its people and communities around us, as well as people impacted by our supply chains, both locally and globally.
