What we are doing

Our strategies and work for sustainability

Vattenfall's task is to provide energy solutions that meet its customers’ needs and that contributes to sustainable development of society. Continuously creating value in our business is a fundamental prerequisite for our long-term ability to invest in new electricty and heat generation that fulfil this criteria.

How we achieve this is set out by our five strategic ambitions. The work we do in line with one ambition supports and is interrelated with our work with fulfilling another. If we can offer energy solutions that meet our customers’ needs and contribute to sustainable growth of society, we will also win the trust of our customers and the general public. If we have the public’s trust, we can more easily attract the right competence. With the right competence, excellent leadership and committed employees, we can be the benchmark for the industry. If we are benchmark of the industry, with focus on operational efficiency and value creation, we can continue to expand with good profitability, which is a basic prerequisite for our ability to fulfil our task of contributing to sustainable growth of society.

Keeping track on how we succeed

Keeping track on how we succeed at fulfilling our ambitions is paramount, which is why we have set up targets that tie our strategy to performance. As a part of our efforts to be open and transparent, we have also coupled the targets to our sustainability reporting. This is done with the help of so called Preferred Performance Indicators (PPI), GRI-indicators that are especially relevant for determining Vattenfall’s long-term success.
