Corporate Social ResponsibilityEnhanced role for CSR policyIn 2007 and 2008 a TenneT project team, working closely with the consultancy firm DHV, compared the company's CSR policy with internal and external expectations. This exercise revealed that Corporate Social Responsibility is important for TenneT but that its existing policy no longer meets all the expectations. TenneT therefore decided to tighten up its CSR policy and to give it a more clearly defined role in its operational processes (and the considerations made in that regard).
As far as its core activities are concerned, TenneT aims to perform better than foreign TSOs. Among other things, this will mean that TenneT will have to focus even more intensively on minimising grid losses. TenneT will also make sure it is properly prepared for the impact that the growth in sustainable energy will have on the transmission grid. To achieve this, TenneT will endeavour to collaborate with foreign TSOs and other stakeholders wherever possible. For example, a cross-border regional approach is an important precondition for the efficient and cost-effective integration of sustainable electricity production in north-western Europe. |
