Sustainability framework
Our focus areas
Ependion identifies and drives its sustainability work through the three focus areas of ESG, which are also the foundation of CSRD (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive). The focus areas help prioritize efforts, set relevant goals, and ensure that sustainability is an integrated part of the group's operations. The framework serves as a guide in strategic development.
