Sustainability Governance
B.Grimm Power is dedicated to fostering long-term business growth, considering the benefits and impacts on stakeholders. We believe that establishing a robust and balanced foundation for sustainability governance, with appropriate oversight and accountability, will enable the organisation to drive sustainable business operations efficiently.
The Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee (CGSC) shoulders the responsibility and accountability of overseeing sustainability across all aspects: economic, environmental, social, and governance. This dedicated committee provides recommendations, reviews and revises relevant policies, strategies, operational plans, and organisational sustainability goals. They also rigorously monitor and oversee the disclosure of sustainability information in line with established principles and international standards. To ensure transparency and accountability, the CGSC regularly reports to the Board of Directors.
In terms of management, the Management Committee establishes strategies, operational plans, and sustainability goals, monitoring progress towards organisational objectives. To further elevate sustainability efforts, B. Grimm Power has a dedicated Corporate Sustainability department reporting directly to the Senior Executive Vice President of Investment, Innovation, and Sustainability. This department promotes sustainable operations, ensuring effective implementation of strategies and plans to achieve organisational goals. By fostering close collaboration with each department, they embed sustainability into daily workflows, enhancing knowledge and monitoring progress. Regular progress reports, delivered to the Management Committee and Corporate Governance and Sustainability Committee at least three times annually, ensure transparency and accountability.
