Stakeholder management

The list of our stakeholders is long and the open and continuous exchange with each and every one of them is incredibly valuable to our company.

Listening, sharing, and shaping together

We listen, provide transparent information and include different perspectives in our decisions. For example, we work closely with our customers to develop decarbonized energy solutions, while we work with policymakers to improve the framework conditions for a secure and responsible energy supply. Our investors receive regular insights into our ESG strategy and we are in constant dialog with local communities in order to take their concerns into account and create prospects for the future together.

This gives us the opportunity to understand the needs, concerns and expectations of our company and our business activities. Conversely, the exchange allows us to share our perspective on a world of responsible energy supply. This open dialogue promotes mutual understanding and trust and also helps us to identify and reduce the potential adverse effects of our business activities.

We help our customers decarbonize

We are continuously decarbonizing our business. And we are helping our customers to do the same for their business by developing tailored solutions to reduce their emissions and transform their processes.

Customer rights and satisfaction

Reliable company

Our society is faced with numerous challenges that can only be overcome through joint action. Our role is primarily to support the European energy transition by ensuring a secure, affordable and reliable supply of electricity, gas and heat. This also includes gradually decarbonizing this energy. We also want to play our part in ensuring that this transition is fair. In addition, we support the communities in which our plants and power stations are located by carrying out projects to promote culture, environmental protection and sport.

Suppliers

Our efforts to promote sustainability also extend to our suppliers. Environmental, social and governance (ESG) aspects therefore also play a role in our procurement. They are a key aspect of supplier onboarding and ongoing risk monitoring. We select suppliers that fit our procurement strategy and our business requirements and meet our sustainability criteria.

Human rights

Responsible Sourcing

Shareholders

We are in constant dialogue with capital market participants, including our current and potential shareholders. Our main objective is to ensure transparency by providing investors with relevant financial and non-financial information. We also actively seek feedback from the capital markets on our strategy, business activities and reporting and take it into account in our decision-making. Investors and investor initiatives regularly approach us with requests for detailed information about our decarbonization strategy. We prioritize these requests, respond to them as best we can and strive for a transparent dialogue. By talking to our investors about their views and learning to understand them better, we can also improve as a company.

The political discussion

Europe wants to become the first climate-neutral continent. This requires transforming the energy system and reliable frameworks. We work with politicians, businesses, and society to drive decarbonization and innovation.

Non-governmental organizations (NGOs)

Sharing ideas with NGOs, including controversial topics, broadens our perspective. One forum for this exchange is our round table on sustainability. It brings us together with NGOs to engage in constructive dialog on topics such as climate protection, biodiversity, human rights and social justice. It is not just about exchanging points of view, but also about developing solutions together and promoting mutual understanding. The round table creates space for openness, transparency and critical feedback. This is an important basis for the continuous development of our sustainability strategy.
