ESG / Environment

Environmental responsibility

From the start, the pursuit of sustainability has shaped ALTEO’s performance. Our climate targets, environmental programmes and biodiversity strategy with a 2040 horizon share one goal: to minimise the environmental impact of the energy we produce.

Introduction

ALTEO’s environmental pillar

In 2022 ALTEO became the first in the Hungarian energy sector to obtain independent international ESG certification, and in 2023 received the EcoVadis Silver rating — placing it in the global top 15% of companies assessed. Our environmental performance scored 80/100.

The Environment pillar rests on three mutually reinforcing areas: climate protection (emissions reduction and renewable expansion), environmental protection (responsible consumption, waste management, Green Office) and the 2040 biodiversity strategic framework. All of these are pulled together by our integrated management system and the Green Finance Framework that took effect in 2025.

We minimise the environmental impact of the energy we generate.

Sustainability focus

Four of the six UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) we focus on relate directly to the Environment pillar

Clean water and basic sanitation; clean energy; responsible consumption and production; and action on climate change. These focus areas guide our climate and environmental programmes.

Climate targets

Measurable carbon-emission reduction

ALTEO discloses its greenhouse-gas emissions under the voluntary TCFD reporting framework. We have committed to the reduction pathway below for Scope 1, 2 and 3 by 2030 and 2050.

Green finance

The framework that finances our environmental targets

Our pursuit of sustainability and the Green Finance Framework that entered into force in 2025 are integral parts of our strategy. The framework enables green bond issuance and green borrowing to finance ALTEO’s environmental goals.
