Voltalia, a "Mission-driven Company"
Our purpose: Improve global environment, foster local development
Our positive contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
Sustainability strategy
Since its foundation in 2005, Voltalia has been developing, building and operating renewable energy power plants in both the world’s most developed countries and those that are emerging, thus actively contributing to the fight against climate change and better access to energy.
Today, Voltalia intends to go further. To this end, in May 2021, we included three social and environmental mission-driven objectives in our bylaws.
To achieve these mission-driven objectives, Voltalia relies both on its sustainability strategy and on the solid, lasting pillars that are the backbone of our day-to-day operation.
Voltalia adopts an integrated approach to managing the social and environmental risks associated with its activities, based on internal transversal collaboration and the deployment of an Environmental and Social Management System (ESMS) at the Group level.
