Social Responsibility

VERBUND sees social responsibility as an essential element of sustainable corporate governance.

We take our responsibility towards employees, customers, business partners, investors and society seriously and are guided by established principles.

At VERBUND, we are committed to social responsibility by promoting equal opportunities and fair cooperation. We create an environment free of discrimination that enables self-determined participation for all - both within our company and in society as a whole. Within the company, we rely on accessibility management, diversity management and Group-wide equal opportunities officers to promote openness and tolerance. We are also involved externally through various initiatives and projects, such as the Climate School, the VERBUND Electricity Aid Fund of Caritas and the VERBUND Empowerment Fund of Diakonie. These measures are in line with our Mission V and embody our endeavours to shape a fair and inclusive future for all.

Corporate commitment

With the internal company transformation and Mission V, we are creating an environment in which we actively work together, find proactive solutions and pursue goals with determination. An environment in which everyone can contribute their skills, ideas and strengths, grow and share their experiences. We want to inspire and win over people to shape the energy transition with us.

We are proud of the diversity of our VERBUND employees - our corporate culture is characterised by inclusion and equal opportunities. Respect for one another takes centre stage, regardless of gender, age, origin, beliefs, loved ones, whether with or without a disability or on the spectrum, in order to enable respectful cooperation. As an inclusive company, VERBUND is actively committed to accessibility and self-determined participation for all.

In a modern office, three colleagues are sitting in a quiet room to take a short break. A colleague with dark hair and a black jacket is sitting on a green couch with a colleague with long brown hair and a light blue blazer. Next to them is a colleague with medium brown hair and a light blue jacket.

Social commitment

We are guided in all areas of activity by the principle of sustainability - the holistic consideration of economic success, protection of the environment and safeguarding the interests of society. VERBUND is committed to the economical and efficient use of electricity as a valuable energy resource.

Together with Caritas, we are committed to combating energy poverty in Austria with the VERBUND Electricity Assistance Fund. The VERBUND Empowerment Fund of Diakonie supports people with disabilities in leading a self-determined life through the use of assistive technologies.
