Our sustainability management is anchored on various levels at MVV. The Executive Board bears overall strategic responsibility.

The sustainability department coordinates the sustainability strategy, reports to the Executive Board and relevant bodies and manages the group-wide sustainability programme. As well as sharing information across business fields, this department also plans and implements projects and measures. Moreover, the sustainability management function is responsible for major aspects of MVV’s stakeholder management.

The specialist departments continually review, evaluate and manage MVV’s performance based on sustainability indicators and medium-term targets. We evaluate investment projects by reference to sustainability criteria. The relevant measures are implemented on an operative level, also by the business fields acting under their own responsibility.
