Vattenfall achieves the highest CDP score for leading efforts against climate change

Vattenfall has once again earned the highest possible rating, an A, in the non-profit organisation CDP’s latest climate change evaluation. The rating confirms Vattenfall's continuous efforts towards fossil freedom, placing us in an exclusive group of companies that demonstrate leadership and transparency in climate strategy, governance, and results on a global level.

CDP, a non-profit global organisation, annually reviews companies worldwide on their work with climate change, deforestation, or water security, based on a large number of information criteria. In 2025, nearly 20,000 companies were reviewed and ranked from A to D. Only two percent of these companies received an A rating, among them was Vattenfall, which received top marks for its climate work.

“I am very proud that we once again are part of the exclusive group of A-listed companies. It shows that we are on the right track towards our Net Zero Targets”, says Helle Herk-Hansen, Vice President Environment at Vattenfall. “This achievement is the result of strong collaboration across Vattenfall as well as with our customers and partners as we work together towards our goal of enabling fossil freedom.”

CDP operates the world’s only independent environmental disclosure system and assesses thousands of companies each year. Achieving an ‘A’ places Vattenfall among the global leaders demonstrating comprehensive disclosure, mature environmental governance, and meaningful progress towards environmental resilience.

CDP’s scoring draws on a rigorous and independent methodology, aligned with the TCFD* framework. It evaluates companies' depth of reporting, understanding of environmental risks, and evidence of best practice - including ambitious target-setting and verified action. CDP maintains the world’s largest repository of environmental information and is widely relied on to guide investment and procurement decisions that support a net-zero, sustainable and earth-positive global economy.
