Making the energy transition happen
The secure and reliable supply of electricity is of fundamental social and economic importance, and at the same time, it is our central task and responsibility at TransnetBW. For us, however, sustainable action extends beyond secure transmission grid operation to a vision for future generations.
In 2023, we were able to look back on 25 years of TransnetBW. A story of growth, that shows the successful development of our organization and underlines what we have achieved.
The energy industry and our role as a transmission system operator have constantly evolved over the years. However, our goal remains unchanged: to build an integrated, climate-neutral and secure electricity system. This is a key success factor for achieving the climate targets at national and European level.
Our sustainability activities in 2023 focused on developing and defining our own climate targets. This means that we are not only committed to climate protection, but have also defined clear measures to make our contribution to achieving the climate protection efforts of Germany and Europe. We have also added specific sub-targets to our other sustainability targets. This creates an even clearer roadmap for our sustainability efforts. We use specific key performance indicators to make our progress measurable and comprehensible.
With our sustainability report, we are documenting our progress in the sustainable development of TransnetBW in 2023, making our actions transparent, comprehensive and comparable - in accordance with the guidelines of the German Sustainability Code (DNK). It illustrates once again what we can achieve together when it comes to shaping the future sustainably. After all, strong results come from motivated and energetic employees.
