Climate initiative

Axpo Climate Network

The serious consequences of global climate change is one of the biggest challenges facing our society. Action is imperative, and it is more crucial than ever that we actively explore the issues involved. The Axpo Group takes its responsibility towards the environment and society seriously and is committed not only to making its system of electricity production sustainable and virtually carbon-free, it is also actively committed to climate-related issues. Axpo is confident that environmental targets can be reached more successfully by cooperating with other agencies. Partnerships with national and regional institutions are examples of how Axpo perceives its responsibility.
