Our environmental indicators and targets

The essential environmental key performance indicators are published in VERBUND's Integrated Annual Report and explained in the section Report on non-financial information.

We offer also a supplementary Excel-file on the website for non-financial data – the so called "NFI-Download" – with sustainability indicators for download. All non-financial data – including environmental KPIs – collected at VERBUND are presented in full and with additional details there.
