Responsible corporate governance
We are aware that our company has a responsibility not only to its owners and employees, but also to society and industry – beyond the borders of Austria. Our energy storage facilities are part of the critical infrastructure and make a significant contribution to the secure energy supply in Central Europe.
As a responsible company, we make an important economic contribution to domestic value creation – through reliable tax and levy payments to the Republic of Austria, through investments in research and development, and through regional procurement wherever possible.

Our actions are based on our corporate principles and the management guidelines derived from them, our code of conduct and other guidelines, in particular on corporate governance, compliance and integrity. These frameworks guide our decisions and ensure responsible and compliant behavior throughout the company.
Responsibility towards employees, key stakeholders, society, the environment and the climate is an integral part of our corporate decision-making processes. Award criteria for investments and expenditure are therefore not based solely on economic considerations, but also take social, ecological and safety-related aspects into account.
Long-term, stable business relationships with contractual partners and suppliers are particularly important to us. These are characterized by fairness, integrity, correctness and transparency. Our decisions are transparent and communicated openly. We are committed to free and fair competition and to complying with all legal requirements for the prevention of bribery and corruption. All of this is anchored in our corporate principles and forms the foundation of our governance and corporate culture.
