Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our role in ensuring smooth everyday life, critical infrastructure and a carbon-neutral future for society requires us to be committed to the principles of sustainable development.
We promote our sustainability work and sustainable development in a determined and systematic way. In 2021, we set sustainability vision targets for 2035 and also committed to science-based global climate targets. We have participated in the global infrastructure sustainability assessment GRESB with excellent results for seven consecutive years.
In 2024, we prepared for the introduction of the EU Sustainability Reporting Directive and the ESR standard by conducting a double materiality analysis, which led to the creation of our 2025 Sustainability Programme. We have also developed our skills and refined the organisation of our sustainability work. In 2024, we reported in line with the GRI framework and our 2024 Sustainability Programme.
