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.

We have also completed the first two of the five steps of SBTN’s methodology to better understand how to prioritise our efforts in managing our impacts on nature, including biodiversity. The steps are based on locating impacts on nature, including biodiversity, across our upstream value chain and on locating direct impacts.
