Governance

We’re making sure that sustainability and integrity are integrated into processes and decision-making across our organisation.

Employees talking together
We want sustainability and integrity to be integrated into every aspect of how we do business. From how we manage our relationships, over how we finance our operations, to what we base our decisions on, sustainability must be a key consideration. 

This way we ensure a resilient and future-fit organisation that can navigate an increasingly complex regulatory and reporting landscape.
Our sustainable governance ambition
  • We exclusively deploy green and sustainable long-term financing, and all projects are taxonomy-aligned.

  • We further develop and integrate human rights due diligence in our management system.
Our sustainability governance model
To strengthen a successful integration of sustainability into the business, we’ve updated our sustainability governance so it ensures clear accountability and leadership focus at the Group Executive Team level.
