PPC Group: Significant upgrade in EcoVadis sustainability assessment
• Ranked among the top 28% of companies globally in 2025, with an eight-point increase
• Score three points above the industry average
• EcoVadis: one of the most widely recognized global corporate sustainability assessment platforms
PPC Group recorded a significant improvement in its sustainability assessment by EcoVadis, one of the most internationally recognized ESG performance rating organizations. In the 2025 assessment, PPC Group’s score increased by 8 points, reaching 65/100 from 57/100 the previous year, placing the Group among the top 28% of companies assessed globally in 2025.
PPC Group’s 2025 score stands three points above the industry average (electricity, gas, steam and air-conditioning supply companies), confirming the Group’s continued progress in integrating sustainability principles into its operations and strategy.
EcoVadis is one of the most widely recognized international corporate sustainability assessment platforms, with more than 17 years of experience and a global network of over 130,000 companies. Its methodology is based on international sustainability standards and evaluates the extent to which ESG principles are integrated into organizations’ business models and operations across four key areas: environment, labor and human rights, business ethics, and sustainable procurement.
The improved EcoVadis rating reflects the Group’s progress in integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria into its operations and strategy across the entire value chain.
In this year’s upgraded assessment, the improvement was supported, among other factors, by the provision of additional information and documentation on actions related to environmental management, labour and human rights, and sustainable supply chain practices. These include training initiatives, internal communications and processes, as well as the disclosure of additional key performance indicators (KPIs), particularly in the Sustainable Supply Chain pillar. At the same time, the submission of additional ISO certifications, such as ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety management, also contributed to the improved assessment.
Green investments with sustainability at the core of strategy
In recent years, PPC has been steadily implementing its transformation, guided by a strategic focus on sustainable growth and energy transition. Under its updated Strategic Plan for the period 2026–2028, the Group is accelerating investments in renewable energy sources, flexible generation and modern energy infrastructure, while strengthening the use of innovative technologies across all areas of its activities.
With a strong focus on RES development and full lignite phase-out by 2026, PPC aims to significantly reduce its environmental footprint while enhancing the resilience of the energy system. At the same time, the Group is investing in modernizing networks and offering new value-added solutions to customers, supporting electrification and the digital transition.
