With even more ambitious targets for our green transformation, sustainability remains a clear driver of our new strategy.

Since 2005, we have successfully achieved 71% reduction in direct CO2 emissions across Europe. However, this accomplishment is merely the starting point. To become greener faster, we have set ourselves ambitious climate targets. We want to be carbon-neutral by 2040 - 10 years earlier than previously planned. By 2035, we plan to be Group-wide carbon-neutral for Scope 1 & 2 emissions. By 2030, we want to have already achieved a significant part of this journey and have reduced over 55% of carbon emissions in the generation portfolio compared to 2019. To achieve this, we will phase out coal-fired power generation by 2029 - eight years earlier than previously planned.  To accelerate the green transformation, we will have invested over 8 billion euros by 2030. This is more than triple the average growth investment of the last three years.
