Having an important role in enhancing our company’s transparency and accountability
Sustainability is one of the three core pillars of the overall business strategy. Through our products we are enabling the flow of renewable energy to millions of households, and thereby have a significant positive sustainability handprint. At the same time we have high aspirations to deliver ambitious sustainability agendas together with our customers and value chain partners.

We are a small team working with sustainability target implementation covering among others Science Based targets with particular focus on scope 3 emission reduction; sustainability reporting and disclosure ensuring alignment with CSRD and taxonomy requirements; strengthening and development of our value chain due diligence processes; life cycle assessments; third party ratings and verifications; and support to our Business lines in fulfilling sustainability requirements from our customers.

The responsibility of ESG disclosure and reporting is split between Group Sustainability and Group Finance. Group Sustainability is responsible for the qualitative disclosures relating to for example CSRD, taxonomy and CSDDD and developing strategies, targets and disclosures within specific material topics while Group Finance is responsible for consolidating and reporting ESG data including external reporting of sustainability key figures.
