Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do as a company
Sustainability has played a key role in VNG’s operations for decades. This commitment encompasses all of our economic and social activities. We are taking on the challenges arising from the energy transition and the fight against climate change. Our overriding mission is and remains providing a sustainable, reliable and secure supply of energy that meets the demands of our society. As a company that trades in fossil natural gas and operates a transport network and underground storage facilities for natural gas, we have a special responsibility to ensure security of supply while also shaping a climate-friendly energy supply. That is why we are already combining a reliable energy supply with the necessary transformation to green gases and driving forward projects in these areas across the company.
We are highly involved in a wide range of areas in the social, cultural and sporting spheres, with a focus on our home region in the east of Germany.
