Our corporate social responsibility

Our mission statement is 'everyone’s sustainable energy'. In a sustainable world, everyone is a participant. As part of our social engagement, we support vulnerable groups in society. Which is why Eneco also helps in other ways. Particularly now. Read here what we do.

Eneco supports UNICEF Covid campaign

UNICEF is committed to the distribution of Covid-19 vaccines across the globe. Eneco supports UNICEF’s Covid campaign by means of a donation, because while we are in the process of administering the third (booster) dose, many people at locations across the world have not even received a first dose yet.

Eneco’s donation enables UNICEF to carry out the preparations that are necessary to administer a vaccine to around 17,500 people. UNICEF’s activities also include providing support for information campaigns, providing protective clothing and oxygen supplies, and purchasing ultra-cold vaccine transportation containers.

Fair distribution of Covid-19 vaccines across the world will give children room to grow again. UNICEF started this global campaign at the beginning of 2021. Eneco is glad to be of help.

Eneco Clean-Up Walk

In order to leave a habitable planet to our children and the generations thereafter, we must treat the Earth in a sustainable manner and live within its natural limits. The amount of litter in our living environment continues to increase. Eneco is tackling this issue together with the national hiking organisation KWBN.

Eneco Clean Beach Cup

On Sunday 12 September, the 2021 edition of the annual Eneco Clean Beach Cup took place. During this annual beach clean-up, the largest in the Benelux, 3,500 volunteers 'plogged' the beaches of the Netherlands and Belgium to make them plastic-free. After cigarette butts, plastic bags, bottle caps and fishing ropes and nets, the sea has a new enemy: the mouth mask.

In total, 25 surf and beach clubs took part, from Bruges to Zandvoort. The main location for the Netherlands this year was surf club The Shore, Scheveningen. Dutch clubs in Cadzand, Domburg, The Hague, Noordwijk and Zandvoort also participated. This year, the entire Belgian and Dutch coastline was cleaned up by surfers, sailors, family and friends groups and colleagues using grabs and buckets; a total of two tonnes of waste.

Eneco supports the initiative of the Dutch National Disaster Relief Fund

Eneco wishes to support the victims of the floods in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany. This is why we are making a donation to the initiatives of the Dutch National Disaster Relief Fund and the Red Cross in Belgium and Germany aimed at offering aid in the flooded areas.

Eneco supports research into the influence of the coronavirus on children

The Co-Kids research into the influence of the coronavirus on children has started! Eneco supports this important initiative of the Sophia Children's Hospital and Erasmus MC. After all, children are our future and play a major role in a more sustainable society.

The aim of the research is to gain more knowledge about how often the coronavirus occurs among children, how it spreads within the family and what possible risks there are, such as overweight and asthma. This will enable the researchers to find ways to improve protection of vulnerable children and their families against the virus.

Eneco part of the Nederlandse Schuldhulproute (NSR)

Debt is a huge problem in the Netherlands. In recent years, Eneco has therefore worked hard to structure services for customers with payment problems. To ensure that our customer's debt does not need to become a problem. To provide these customers with even better and perhaps earlier support, Eneco has joined the Nederlandse Schuldhulproute (Netherlands Debt Relief Route). The NSR is a national infrastructure in which businesses, government and debt relief organisations work together to get people debt free by helping them get a grip on their financial and personal situation.

Laptops for disadvantaged young people

Eneco Belgium supports vzw DigitalForYouth.be, a foundation that collects old laptops and refurbishes them for disadvantaged young people. Because of coronavirus, many young people are doing their schoolwork at home. And that requires a computer. Unfortunately, disadvantaged young people often do not have access to a computer at home. This could cause them to fall behind in their education. Eneco supported the foundation with a sum of € 144,000. And brought the foundation to the attention of our customers. Eneco doubled every donation.

Crowdfunding for Hamburg relief in corona crisis

As an important green player on the German energy market, LichtBlick used its reach and visibility to set up a crowdfunding platform in support of four inspiring Hamburg initiatives. Donations from customers were doubled to a maximum of € 20.
