Our business model is to develop, construct, operate, and own renewable assets, and we are committed to doing this in an environmentally and socially sustainable way. However, we recognise that expanding our operations also implies a greater pressure on natural ecosystems. Therefore, protecting and restoring these ecosystems must be part of the solution, and we remain fully committed to effectively manage our impacts on biodiversity and ecosystems. Biodiversity management is an integral part of our business model and decision-making processes throughout the full life cycle of our projects. This ranges from early-stage site selection and planning, over project design, construction, operations, and eventually to decommissioning.

In 2024, we publicly launched our biodiversity measurement framework. This science-based framework contributes to the achievement of our biodiversity ambition by taking the first steps to ensure that we can measure, track, and report both the positive and negative impacts on biodiversity. The scope covers our biodiversity activities for our own operations across all geographies.
