Ecovadis gives gold

The international Ecovadis platform assesses companies’ performance in the areas of sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR). We have been awarded the Gold CSR Rating. This means that when it comes to CSR, we are among the top 7% of companies assessed in this area. With regard to our sustainable procurement policy, we are even among the top 4% in our sector. The Ecovadis method allows companies and organisations to compare suppliers with regard to sustainability, environmental performance and various social and ethical aspects. In this context, the platform refers to a number of international CSR standards as set down in the Global Reporting Initiative, United Nations Global Compact and ISO 26000.

Ruud Sondag, CEO of Eneco about the 2018 annual figures

"We can realise our sustainable strategy by sharpening our focus on our activities and putting our customers’ needs first in everything we do. This will enable Eneco to further develop in the coming years into a customer-focused company that excels in its services and supply of clean and smart products."

Eneco helps customers make the switch

With our mission: everyone's sustainable energy, we help customers make the switch to clean, smart and sustainably-generated energy. Eneco offers accessible and affordable solutions for consumers and companies.

We cooperate with Energie In Huis, a company that makes existing houses more sustainable.
We are improving charging services for electric vehicles and have started various partnerships, including with Jaguar Landrover Benelux.
We are introducing Eneco StukjeZon® for customers who are unable to have their own solar panels installed.
An example of an integrated approach is the partnership with Rotterdam Ahoy. As well as solar panels, a thermal smart grid is being constructed and we will be installing charging points for electric vehicles.

Eneco enables cleaner driving

The government would like all new cars to be electric by 2030. However, only 1 in 100 vehicles on the road today is electric. So there’s a lot of work to be done. Eneco eMobility helps smart charging, easy, accessible and sustainable for home and office.
If you order a charging station from Eneco, we take care of the entire process for you: from installation to processing the charging costs. Our smart services also come with a guarantee of 100% green energy.

That’s how we achieve our mission

With strategic, sustainable business partners and experts, we make affordable products and services and invest in more sustainable generation capacity.
