Our ESG strategy

The 2024 ESG report summarises the GETEC's group-wide sustainability activities in the 2023 financial year and is based on the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) standards. From the 2025 financial year onwards, GETEC will publish a comprehensive sustainability report in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD).

A key goal of our strategy is to achieve net zero for Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2045 – five years earlier than envisaged in the European Green Deal. We will achieve this by gradually converting fossil fuel plants to sustainable, electrified solutions such as heat pumps and, in the future, using hydrogen.

In addition, we are focusing on intelligent, AI-supported energy management and transforming existing lignite-fired power plants into highly efficient combined heat and power (CHP) plants to reduce our CO₂ emissions by 2030 significantly.

In the Social and Governance topics, we are committed to a comprehensive diversity programme, a group-wide HSEQ management system (certified according to ISO 14001 and ISO 45001), and the continuous development of our governance structures. These include an externally operated whistleblower system and regular employee training on our Code of Conduct.
