ESG criteria

The Elia group transparently documents the implementation of its consistently sustainable business orientation. ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) criteria are increasingly becoming driving factors in investors' capital decisions. The Elia group also relies on green financing, i.e. green bonds, for the high financing costs that are necessary to finance the expansion of the grid and thus the energy transition. This is why we have constantly expanded and improved our sustainability reporting in recent years. This is being rewarded and is subsequently reflected in the good and ever higher ratings that the Elia Group receives from internationally recognised rating agencies, such as Sustainalytics, MSCI and Vigeo Eiris.

In the reporting year, Elia signed a €650 million revolving credit facility (RCF) agreement with a pricing mechanism linked to three of Elia’s sustainability performance targets.
