We report regularly on our sustainability performance to provide a clear picture of developments, progress and conflicting priorities within our business operations. Our aim is not merely to provide information, but to establish a sound basis for decision-making – both internally and externally.
Why we report
For us, sustainability reporting is a management tool.
It helps us to:
- systematically identify our key issues
- measure our progress
- make more informed decisions
As such, the report is not merely a review of the past, but an integral part of our ongoing development.
How we report
Our sustainability report is guided by the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). We structure our content around:
- the impacts of our business on the environment and society
- risks and opportunities for our company
In doing so, we link targets, measures and key performance indicators. This results in reporting that highlights interconnections rather than merely providing isolated pieces of information.
Our 2024 Sustainability Report received an “Excellence” rating at the 2025 ESG Transparency Award organised by EUPD Research.
Our Reports
Green Financing Framework
Sustainability considerations are also taken into account in our financing decisions.
Through our Green Financing Framework, we provide a framework for financing eligible green projects and investments. The Framework defines the applicable criteria and describes how projects are selected, how proceeds are allocated and how the use of proceeds is reported.
The independent Second Party Opinion confirms the Framework’s general alignment with established market standards for sustainable finance.
In this way, we provide transparency for investors and incorporate defined sustainability criteria into the relevant financing decisions.
ESG Ratings
EEW is regularly assessed by external ESG rating agencies. The assessments are based on the respective methodologies and industry-specific criteria applied by the rating providers and complement our own reporting by providing an external perspective.
Until 2024, EEW was assessed by Morningstar Sustainalytics. The most recently published ESG Risk Rating was 20.8 points.
Since 2025, EEW has been assessed under the ISS STOXX Sustainability Corporate Rating. EEW achieved Prime Status in its first assessment in 2025. In the current 2026 rating, EEW confirmed its Prime Status and again achieved an overall rating of B-. At the same time, the underlying overall score improved compared with the previous assessment.
The assessment is based on industry-specific environmental, social and governance criteria. Further information on the current rating can be found in our Investor Relations section.
