A key element within Tions third sustainability report is the sustainability strategy defined by the Management Board, which is primarily derived from the companys sustainability framework. The sustainability framework focuses on the areas on which Tion can have a significant impact from an ESG criteria perspectivethe environment, people, and partners.
The area environment is about delivering renewable energy in a sustainable and efficient way; with regard to people, the focus is on fostering talent, communities, and digitalization; the partners area is dedicated to having excellent partnerships with stakeholders on which the company is building a responsible renewable energy platform.

The report also includes a section on the popular topic of supply chains in the context of renewable energy generation. Following the acquisition of its first battery energy storage system (BESS) in November 2022, Tion has expanded its supply chain analysis report, which covers potential environmental and social impacts and risks along the supply chains the company uses for wind and solar power generation and energy storage through BESS. A complementarily developed supply chain management system ensures regular improvements of the system as well as the actual tracking of identified risks.

Comment by Christoph Strasser, Co-CEO/CIO of Tion Renewables AG

2022 was another eventful year for us. In particular, the closing of our first green loan confirmed our decision to focus on transparency in the area of sustainability at an early stage. As such, our third voluntary sustainability report, which aims to provide a comprehensive overview of our ESG efforts, is intended to once again reflect our commitment to transparency, accountability, and sustainable practices with regard to our environment, our people, and our partners.
