Given Fluvius' societal role as a network operator, we have made a conscious decision to take on our responsibility and focus strategically on sustainability. We define sustainability as caring for our environment, avoiding negative impacts and promoting positive ones. We do this by taking our core activities as our starting point and carrying them out and developing them in the most sustainable way possible. In addition to the overall Fluvius strategy, since 2025 we have also developed a specific sustainability strategy built around five pillars:
- Footprint: Fluvius aims to achieve climate neutrality in our own ecological footprint by leveraging the various identified decarbonisation levers. Within these levers, we take targeted action to reduce emissions and remove bottlenecks in processes that impact our emissions.
- Handprint: Fluvius’ contribution to the realisation of the energy transition and climate adaptation in Flanders represents our handprint. Through our efforts in this transition, we help our customers achieve climate neutrality. We therefore aim to maximise this handprint with the resources available.
- Value Chain: Collaboration with our partners in the value chain is essential to achieving Fluvius’ sustainability ambitions. On the one hand, the majority of our climate impact originates from value chain emissions — at suppliers, contractors, service providers, and customers. On the other hand, there are also social impacts upstream and downstream. Within this pillar we focus primarily on closer cooperation and dialogue with partners throughout the value chain.
- Resilience: We are building a robust organisation that can withstand todays and tomorrow’s challenges. These challenges increasingly require us to be resilient in areas such as climate change, supply chain risks, cybersecurity, and physical safety.
- Employership: Fluvius aims to be an attractive and agile employer, with employees at the centre. We are committed to providing a safe, inclusive, and stimulating work environment, with attention to development, well-being, and engagement for all employees. In this way, employership contributes to achieving our sustainability objectives.
To make this strategy also financially possible, Fluvius is committed to green financing. To this end, we have developed a Green Financing Framework according to generally applicable norms, standards and market practices. This allows us to issue all kinds of green financing instruments. For Fluvius, green financing is an essential part of the financing policy for the Fluvius Economic Group. This is especially true in a context of sharply rising investments.
As a grid operator, sustainability is an indispensable tool to achieve our mission. Discover our commitments on this.
