Our social responsibility

We are a part of, and a partner to, society.

Social responsibility is an integral part of Vattenfall’s sustainability work and our journey towards fossil freedom. The energy transition affects people, communities and society in many ways, and we work to identify and manage these impacts responsibly throughout our value chain.

Our approach is guided by respect for human rights, active dialogue with stakeholders, responsible supply chain practices, and a strong commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion. By keeping people at the centre of the transition, we aim to contribute to a just and inclusive transformation that supports sustainable development for both current and future generations.

Engaging with stakeholders

Through actively engaging with stakeholders, we aim to understand their expectations of us.

Our supply chain

We focus on environmental and social aspects of our supply chain and work together with suppliers.

Human rights

We acknowledge our responsibility to respect all internationally recognised human rights agreements.
