Opening letter - Enea Group Sustainability Report for 2024

Dear Stakeholders,

The year 2024 opened a new chapter in the development of the Enea Group. The Development Strategy until 2035 has clearly defined our role as a responsible and active participant in Poland’s energy transition process. We strive to create a stable, secure and competitive energy system, in which renewable energy and modern technologies form the basis for sustainable development. Our activities are in line with national and European climate goals, while ensuring the security of energy supply to millions of end users.

This report is the first to be prepared in accordance with the new European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), which are based on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). The new regulations introduce higher standards for transparent and comprehensive reporting and their implementation is a major challenge for the entire industry. We recognize that it will take time to fully adapt to the new reporting requirements, and we will continue to improve our reporting processes to provide our stakeholders with reliable, transparent and comparable information on about the environmental impacts of our operations and the sustainability challenges we face on a daily basis.

The changing regulatory environment and the pending discussion on the simplification of reporting requirements will not affect Enea Group’s strategic direction. Our priority remains to deliver a responsible energy transition that enables a sustainable and secure transition to low-carbon energy sources. As one of the key players in the energy market, we have a special responsibility for the stability of the system and for ensuring continuity of supply to 2.7 million customers.

Responsibility for our employees is another important aspect of the transition process. Currently, about nine thousand jobs in the Enea Group are linked to coal assets. What we want to achieve is a fair transition that opens up new development prospects for our employees.

The process of developing the Strategy was preceded by extensive consultations with workers’ representatives. Many of their suggestions have been taken into account in the final version of the document. We recognize that the transition of the energy sector presents numerous challenges, but we cannot abandon our long-term climate and net-zero targets.

Please read this Report carefully. We believe that this publication is another step in the journey towards a more sustainable future, in line with the Enea Group’s adopted Strategy. We believe that through our efforts and consistent actions, Enea will continue to be a leader in the responsible energy transition in Poland.

Kind regards,

Grzegorz Kinelski, President of the Management Board
