Our environmental indicators and targets

An overview of the key environmental figures and targets

The essential environmental key performance indicators are published in VERBUND's Integrated Annual Report and explained in the section Report on non-financial information.

We offer also a supplementary Excel-file on the website for non-financial data – the so called "NFI-Download" – with sustainability indicators for download. All non-financial data – including environmental KPIs – collected at VERBUND are presented in full and with additional details there.
