    The electricity generated from this solar farm will help reduce Germany’s dependence on imported fossil fuels. But for us fossil freedom does not end with electricity generation – it starts right at the beginning of the supply chain. That is why we are pleased to take this pioneering step together with our partner SSAB, using low emission steel for the substructures. By leading the way as a company, we support the long-term societal goal of becoming fossil free.
    Claus Wattendrup, Head of Solar & Batteries at Vattenfall
    This recognition is an important external confirmation of the strength of our sustainability work,” says Ramsköld. It also comes at a time when sustainability ambitions are increasingly being questioned. Our experience shows that it is not only the right direction from an environmental and human rights perspective, but also a sound strategic choice for the company.
    Annika Ramsköld, Head of Sustainability at Vattenfall

    This is another step on the way towards the first Swedish nuclear power construction in over 40 years. Our goal is a successful project on the Värö Peninsula, and by that we mean that there are prerequisites to begin operations within a reasonable timeframe and budget at the site available to us. A successful project also lays the foundation for further nuclear developments. We are already looking at the next step to build additional reactors where Ringhals 1 and 2 are currently located.
    Anna Borg, CEO and President, Vattenfall

    The energy transition must go hand in hand with the protection of nature. With the Biodiversity Transition Plan 2030, we take a clear stance: we want to be part of the solution – not only by reducing emissions but also by restoring ecosystems, protecting habitats, and fostering innovation that supports both climate and biodiversity goals.
    Helle Herk-Hansen, Head of Environment at Vattenfall
    Achieving our goal of a future where everyone can choose fossil free ways to move, make and live, means integrating sustainability into every decision and every part of our value chain.

    Annika Ramsköld, Vice President Corporate Sustainability at Vattenfall
    Entering 2016 a number of fundamental issues needed to be resolved to support the transition of the energy system and to shape the new Vattenfall. Significant progress was made during the year through the lignite divestment, the Swedish energy policy agreement and the German nuclear waste law, resulting in a positive outcome for the company and our customers, together with a reduced risk overall.
    Magnus Hall, Vattenfall’s President and CEO
    We already help our customers drive electric by supplying charging points. With the decision to switch our own fleet we do not only contribute to reducing CO2-emissions in Europe, but we also want to set an example for other companies.
    Martijn Hagens, Head of Customers and Solutions Vattenfall and responsible for E-mobility
    “The demand in the market makes it a natural step for us to move from being a wind power developer and operator to also start providing Danish customers with 100% renewable energy. Vindstød.dk is an innovative, successful and fast-growing company which has pioneered the Danish consumer market”
    Martijn Hagens, Head of Customers & Solutions, Vattenfall
    The third quarter marked an important milestone for Vattenfall. The sale of the lignite operations was a major step in adapting Vattenfall’s operations to new market conditions and a long-term sustainable energy system. We are now pursuing our efforts in forming the new Vattenfall with the customer in focus.
    Magnus Hall, President and CEO of Vattenfall
    “We have set a clear direction in our strategy and our strategic targets, where sustainability is integrated as a natural component. The agreement to sell our lignite operations shows that we are taking strong measures to adapt the portfolio in the right direction”
    Magnus Hall, President and CEO Vattenfall
    Today we have signed an important deal for Vattenfall. This divestment of our lignite assets is good strategically but also financially given current and expected market conditions. We are now accelerating our shift towards a more sustainable production. The sale means more than 75 percent of our production will be climate neutral compared to about 50 percent today.
    Magnus Hall, Vattenfall’s President and CEO
    “I am really pleased that we have been able to recruit one of the top talents within the Swedish communications arena”
    Magnus Hall, CEO Vattenfall
    “Our partnering strategy is now paying off and delivering additional funds to fulfil our ambitious growth targets within the wind area, thereby supporting Vattenfall’s overall strategy to transform our production portfolio towards renewables. We are really pleased to have established a partnership with AMF and look forward to building a strong relationship going forward,” says Gunnar Groebler, Senior Vice President, Business Area Wind.

Among age groups, younger people between 18-35 years have so far been least likely to change their behaviour in daily life to save energy. Compared to other countries, the French seem to have adapted most in their efforts to consume less energy while the most innovative consumers live in the Netherlands. These are some of the results in Vattenfall’s new energy savings barometer."The results show that customers perceive the
