Climate Leadership

As the world’s largest producer of renewable energy from hydropower, which powers our aluminium smelters and provides a clean and affordable source of electricity to communities across Siberia, we believe we have an important role to play in driving and supporting the clean energy transition. It is in recognition of this role that our climate leadership activities are centred around two of the UN Sustainable Development Goals: SDG 7 and SDG 13. En+ ensures a strong climate focus not only within its own internal corporate structure, but on a national scale as well. En+ Group’s Chief Sustainability Officer heads the Climate working group of the national ESG Alliance, ensuring that leading companies invest in initiatives that will help shape the future national climate agenda. Initiated projects focus on transparency and creating incentives for more businesses (SMEs included) to join the efforts.

Climate goals:

Reduce emissions by at least 35% by 2035, and achieve net zero GHG emissions by 2050 ( as benchmarked against the Group’s 2018 GHG emissions).

More about the Group’s strategy and progress in achieving carbon neutrality:

Net zero

En+ continues to report its GHG emission data to the CDP and IAI. The Metal segment actively continues work on the ASI certification.

Energy goals:

Increase use of alternative energy sources by 2030 Reduce the average carbon intensity of generated and consumed electricity By improving hydropower plant efficiency, increase clean electricity generation by 2.5 TWh, from the same amount of water passing through the turbines, and prevent over 2.5 million tonnes of CO2 emissions per annum from 2025.

Green Million

Russia is home to 21 % of the world’s forests, where the composition of the soil and marshes makes these forests up to seven times more efficient than rainforests at binding carbon emissions.

New Energy Programme

The wide-scale modernisation of our largest HPPs is on track to generate at least 2.5 TWh more electricity from the same amount of water passing through our turbines, relative to the 2007 baseline.
