What we care about most

Our economic environment

Our economic environment is designed to grow sustainably and have a positive impact on reducing greenhouse gases.

Our ecological environment

In accordance with our business model, we want to play our part in protecting nature and the environment. We’re committed to combatting the climate crisis by producing green electricity and promoting biodiversity.

People

As a dynamic, forward-looking company, we know we need a strong team if we want to make a meaningful contribution to the renewables revolution. But as well as looking inwards to our own team, we also believe it’s vital to look outwards and make a positive contribution to society.

Good corporate management

We rely on efficient corporate structures and clearly assigned responsibilities – based on the principles of good corporate management. We’re guided by internationally recognised ethical, social and ecological principles.

Corporate Carbon Footprint

Encavis Carbon Footprint 2021

Effective climate protection begins with recording the emissions generated within the company. In order to understand the areas in which we can reduce our emissions, following the compilation of our first carbon footprint - Corporate Carbon Footprint (CCF) 2020 - we have now also compiled the CCF for 2021 in accordance with the approved Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol). This includes all direct and indirect emissions in Scopes 1 to 3 and provides precise information on the emissions caused throughout the Group.    

CCF 2021

Our sustainability work is verifiably good

We’ve achieved good results in a large number of sustainability ratings and rankings that are used by investors to make their investment decisions.
