A number of sustainability considerations, which are significant for Energie AG both from our own perspective and from the perspective of external stakeholders, were identified in the 2017/2018 fiscal year. As part of the strategy development process, these factors will be regularly evaluated and undergo continuous improvement with the involvement of internal interested parties (e.g. Management Board, executives, employees, supervisory board and owners) and external stakeholders (e.g. customers, communities close to our projects, representatives from political and administrative systems). The topics were rated in a materiality matrix from ”important“ to ”highly important“ in the context of sustainability. The quantitative and qualitative indicators to be measured were set based on this evaluation matrix.
