Petrol's sustainable development strategy
IIn implementing its fundamental sustainable development guidelines, the Petrol Group follows the targets of the EU Green Transition and the United Nations Sustainable Development targets, or the 2030 Agenda, and in making its decisions, it focuses particularly on the following targets:
- decent work and economic growth (Target 8)
- sustainable cities and communities (Goal 11)
- responsible consumption and production (Target 12)
- climate action (Goal 13).
The Petrol Group’s sustainable development is based on three pillars: low-carbon company, partnership with employees and the social environment, and circular economy. These are the pillars used to manage the ESG factors and which socially responsible investors and other stakeholders use to judge us by.
The Petrol Group is committed to the transition to green energy, which is reflected in our three strategic targets up to and including 2025, which are written in the Petrol Group Strategy for the 2021 - 2025 period: reducing the carbon footprint of primary activities by 40 percent for Petrol d.d., Ljubljana, excluding the Energy and Solutions organisational unit (hereinafter referred to as OE EiR) compared to the reference year, investing in the energy transition in the amount of EUR 244 million and 164 MW of installed capacity for renewable electricity generation. The aim of energy renovation is to achieve 73 GWh of energy savings for final customers in 2025.
By continuously developing the composition of fuels, we will actively contribute to reducing emissions in all markets where we operate. At the same time, sustainability policies will provide for the reduction of the carbon footprint both in the Petrol Group and of our customers. By improving our own processes, upgrading competencies and empowering employees, the Group will address the current and future needs of customers in the energy sector in an even more decisive manner and adapt its operations to the user who is at the centre of our attention.
The generation of electricity from RES has a special place in energy transition, where we have been paving the way to become one of the most important providers in SE Europe. The development of new e-mobility and mobility service solutions is an important pillar of Petrol's sustainable and innovative operations. The Petrol Group focuses on two segments here. The first is related to the charging infrastructure, which means the establishment, management and maintenance of the e-vehicle charging infrastructure and the provision of a charging service. Petrol's goal for the e-vehicle charging infrastructure is to include at least 1,500 e-charging stations by the end of 2025. The second segment is accounted for by mobility services, such as commercial leasing, fleet electrification, and fleet management services, where we also aim to grow our market share.
