CSRD reporting strengthens transparency and comparability / Additional Sustainability Highlight Report provides a concise overview of key progress
ENERCON has published its Corporate Sustainability Report 2025, marking the company’s first sustainability report aligned with the requirements of the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and prepared in accordance with the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and the EU Taxonomy.
By voluntarily reporting at group level, ENERCON underlines its commitment to transparent, standardised and comparable sustainability reporting and positions itself early to meet future regulatory requirements.
“We see CSRD not as an obligation, but as an opportunity to strengthen transparency and comparability. By reporting ahead of regulatory requirements, we provide our customers, partners and stakeholders with reliable information to support their decision-making and long-term planning. This is how we build trust and contribute to a more transparent and resilient energy market,” says ENERCON CEO Udo Bauer.
“With our first CSRD-aligned sustainability report, we are establishing a reliable basis for transparency and comparability while proactively preparing for future regulatory requirements,” says Eva Lotta Schmidt, Head of Global Sustainability at ENERCON. “Most importantly, the report reflects the daily contributions of our employees worldwide, who are actively driving our sustainability strategy forward.”
Comprehensive insights into sustainability performance
The report includes both qualitative and quantitative information on key topics, including:
• Climate change mitigation and decarbonisation
• Resource use and circular economy
• Working conditions at ENERCON
• Working conditions along the value chain
• Governance and compliance
• Cyber security
It is based on a double materiality assessment, identifying the most significant impacts, risks and opportunities and guiding ENERCON’s strategic sustainability priorities. The report was also subject to limited assurance by independent external auditors.
Proactive approach beyond regulatory requirements
ENERCON is already reporting voluntarily at group level, preparing the company early for upcoming regulatory requirements under the CSRD that will apply to ENERCON from the 2027 reporting year onwards.
At the same time, the company enhances comparability with competitors and supports the further integration of sustainability into management processes, decision-making and strategic planning.
Measurable progress in the 2025 reporting year
In 2025, ENERCON achieved progress in several key areas:
• 35% reduction in scope 1 and 2 emissions and 30% reduction in scope 3 emissions intensity compared to 2021
• 83% of electricity consumption already sourced from renewable energy
• Turbines installed in 2025 are expected to avoid around 105 million tonnes of CO₂e over their operational lifetime
• High EU Taxonomy alignment, with 99.5% of revenue classified as Taxonomy aligned
Further measures were also advanced in social aspects relating to own workforce and workers of value chain and governance aspects such as compliance and information security social aspects relating to own workforce and workers of value chain and governance aspects such as compliance and information security.
