Foreword
Dear Reader
Repower has been producing structured reports on its sustainability activities since 2021. We do not view sustainability as a short-term trend, but rather as a long-term and continuous process that takes equal account of the relevant environmental, social and economic aspects and presents progress transparently. In an environment of regulatory and political uncertainty, our overarching goal remains to achieve net‑zero CO2 emissions by 2050. Sustainability is thus firmly anchored in our governance.
As an energy company with a strong commitment to renewable energy, we bear a special responsibility for the impact on land and biodiversity. Our facilities are highly visible and interact with society, the landscape and nature. By generating and distributing renewable energy and investing continuously in the maintenance, renewal and expansion of our generation assets, we make an important contribution to decarbonisation and thus to the implementation of the Swiss federal government’s energy strategy.
Our employees are at the heart of everything we do. We promote an inclusive working environment, invest in continuous training and pay attention to health and safety in the workplace. We also support the regions in which we operate with various projects designed to strengthen social cohesion. We demand transparency from our suppliers to ensure joint responsibility for value chains.
A particular highlight of the past year was the start of construction of the Madrisa Solar alpine photovoltaic installation. In addition to being a pioneering technical achievement for renewable energy in the mountains, this project also makes a decisive contribution to the secure supply of winter electricity in Switzerland.
Repower is investing systematically in a modern and reliable distribution grid that takes account of future requirements, including the distributed feed-in of renewable energy and higher consumption loads. Decarbonisation and growing electrification are increasing the demand for power. For this reason, in addition to expanding our generation assets, digitalising and optimising distribution and consumption are also at the top of our agenda.
As members of the board of directors and part of the sustainability support group, we are committed to addressing these issues with conviction and dedication. We would like to thank you for your interest in our sustainability efforts.
