Sustainability @ HFE

At HFE, sustainability is not merely a buzzword; it is embedded in our corporate ethos and at the heart of our operations and business strategy. We are determined to make a difference and create a cleaner and greener planet, not just through our business, i.e. generation of clean energy but also by the way in which we conduct our business – with due sensitivity for the environment, people and the society at large.

As we celebrate a decade of excellence, our goal is to grow five times in the next five years, thereby powering the global energy transition and paving the way for a sustainable tomorrow. We have adopted best practices in projects and plant operations to minimize carbon footprint, water consumption, material consumption, damage to biodiversity and waste generation.

To further drive our sustainability efforts, we are embracing a digital-first approach by enabling remote work at our office locations. This not only offers comfort and convenience to our employees and organisation but also significantly reduces our carbon footprint, making a tangible difference in the fight against climate change.

All our sustainability measures are taken with an eye on the future and the aim to generate value for our company and our stakeholders. At HFE, sustainability is a core objective, and we remain committed to meeting global benchmarks on ESG as we contribute to a greener and cleaner planet.
