What we have achieved

Vattenfall reports in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines in order to measure performance and achieve transparency and international comparability in sustainability performance reporting. Vattenfall has applied the GRI guidelines since 2003 and reports on the A+ level as defined by GRI. For further information, see www.globalreporting.org (new window). 

The reporting section

The reporting section follows the GRI indicator framework, dividing environmental, social and economic performance indicators specified by GRI in sections. In addition to reporting environmental, social and economic performance, Vattenfall also describes the governance structure and management systems in place, and provides a comprehensive content index according to the GRI standards (GRI Content Index).

Management approach – introduction to performance indicators

In accordance with GRI, the environmental, social and economic sections are each introduced by a more general description of how Vattenfall approaches and manages the most crucial issues. The introduction provides the framework and context for the results conveyed by the reporting under each indicator.

Reporting of environmental, social and economic performance indicators

Qualitative and quantitative information on indicators specified by the GRI guidelines. Vattenfall’s aim is to provide a balanced and accurate presentation of the company’s environmental, social and economic performance. In the sustainability reporting, a set of indicators (based on GRI) have been identified (Preferred Performance Indicators), which are of special importance to the company. These are highlighted in the What we are doing section of the report.
