Driving the green transition
Driving the green transition
With energy needs increasing daily, climate protection remains at the core of Kelag International’s development.
To us, green business practices are not merely an added value but the cornerstone of our operations. For almost two decades, we have been intensively investing in green technologies and providing electricity from renewable sources.
We are constantly seeking energy solutions that drive our transition to a low-carbon company and striving to produce clean energy from environmentally friendly sources — water, wind, and sun. Operating sustainably and contributing to a cleaner, more efficient energy supply will always be our mission.

Promoting environmentally friendly solutions
Preserving our environment and nature is important to us. We strive to positively impact climate change, which poses a growing threat to local communities and society. We believe every action counts. That is why we use electric vehicles to reduce CO2 emissions and encourage our employees to walk or cycle, which are even more sustainable solutions for the environment. In addition, we encourage our employees from all around Europe to travel by train, reducing CO2 emissions and other negative impacts of transportation.

Partnerships for a green future
During the pandemic and economic crisis, we joined the National Alliance for Green Recovery, which encourages innovation, development, and the implementation of green technological solutions across all sectors. Kelag International Ljubljana is also a partner of the Centre for Energy Efficient Solutions (CER), where we promote green technologies and contribute to the development of the green economy.
Growing investments in renewable energy sources
With a clear long-term strategy, we aim to reach 818 MW of installed capacity in operation by 2035 and generate 1,694 GWh of renewable electricity annually.
Sustainability at Kelag
Sustainability at the Kelag group is far more than a strategic goal — it is deeply rooted in the company's philosophy. The focus is on integrating ecological, economic, and social aspects to create long-term added value for society and the environment.
A key objective of the Kelag Group is to actively shape the energy future. Through the consistent expansion of renewable energy sources and the promotion of energy-efficient solutions, the company makes a significant contribution to decarbonization and climate protection. This involves reducing greenhouse gas emissions and strategically deploying low-carbon technologies.
Since 2013, Kelag has supported the achievement of the United Nations' 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a member of the UN Global Compact. Based on the Kelag Group's business areas, five core SDGs of particular importance to the Group have been defined:
Waste separation and protecting the environment
Waste management is an integral part of our daily lives and reflects the environmental awareness of our employees, who embody our green values. We separate waste under regulations and legislation, and by obtaining the Tap Water Certificate, we have committed to serving and using drinking tap water instead of bottled water on our premises.
