S2 Workers in the value chain

In the 2024/25 fiscal year, a major procurement repositioning project was launched. The focus is on implementing strategic supplier management, optimising purchasing processes and gradually integrating enhanced sustainability criteria into procurement. A significant milestone is the planned integration of an AI-based vendor risk assessment tool in the coming fiscal year. This will enable targeted measures to systematically improve sustainability assessments across the supply chain. Sustainable procurement is therefore an integral component of the purchasing strategy. Particular emphasis is placed on social responsibility along the value chain. Close cooperation with suppliers within the EU significantly reduces the risk of human rights violations. With this holistic approach, Energie AG positions itself as a responsible energy supplier, effectively combining sustainability, innovation and social responsibility.
