Environment, Social, Governance
Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of present generations without jeopardizing the ability of future generations to meet their needs (United Nations, report Brundtland Commission, 1987).
Alfen's vision is 'A connected and smart sustainable energy system for future generations'. With its products that make this possible, Alfen is at the center of the energy transition. That is why Alfen sees sustainable business as a moral duty. Alfen takes its place in society and adheres to the core values that are anchored in its vision and mission: the SPARK values. These core values determine, on the one hand, the way in which we meet the needs of our customers and, on the other, our view of the environment and our internal operations. Alfen strives to realize a share in sustainable development for the energy transition within society in a way that makes responsible choices both economically, socially and environmentally.
