Governance
Strong governance is the backbone of our sustainability performance, ensuring transparency, accountability and long-term value creation. Our governance approach is based on the development of well-informed strategy which is delivered on through a Sustainability Action Plan. Each active project has an overarching Sustainability Management Plan which brings together all of the relevant sustainability information including the biodiversity management plan, waste management plan and project risks and opportunities. Some of key governance documents include:
Sustainability Strategy
At Statkraft Ireland, sustainability is not an add-on — it is a strategic enabler of our business. Our 2026 Sustainability Strategy,supported by a clear governance framework, is built around the concept of Sustainable Resilience, ensuring that our projects strengthen communities, ecosystems and the economy — not only in the future, but starting today.
This strategy aligns with Statkraft’s corporate direction while responding to Ireland’s local context and regulatory landscape.
Sustainability Action Plan
Our SAP translates strategy into action. It includes concrete targets, timelines and responsibilities across all phases of project development and operations.
Key features of the SAP include quarterly reviews, integration of ESG criteria into all areas along with collaborative engagement to strengthen sustainability culture.
The SAP is updated annually and reflects both corporate priorities and local realities, ensuring that sustainability is practical, measurable and impactful. Following its most recent review in 2026, the revised SAP for Ireland reflects a more pragmatic and business-enabling apparoach to sustianbility, ensuring actions are realistic, value -driven and aligned with available resources.
Sustainability Management Plans
Our Sustainability Management Plans (SMPs) provide a structured framework to integrate ESG principles into every stage of project development and operations.
Each plan consolidates key actions on climate, circularity, biodiversity, and community engagement, ensuring compliance and measurable impact
Biodiversity Management Plans
Our Biodiversity Management Plans (BMPs) are designed to protect and enhance local ecosystems. They include baseline studies, habitat restoration measures, and Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) targets, ensuring that renewable energy projects contribute positively to Ireland’s natural environment.
