Sustainability

Sustainability has always been at the core of the company’s commitments, as shown by a decade-long membership to the United Nations Global Compact and commitment to disclosing in alignment with the Task Force for Climate-related Financial Disclosures. In the critical phase of the world’s transition to a low-carbon future, effective sustainability risk and opportunities management is essential to maintaining a competitive edge and creating long-lasting value as an Independent Power Producer.

ContourGlobal’s new direction will infuse sustainability across all functions to ensure our growth is accomplished while respecting our ESG commitments and not just seeking compliance.

In addition to the achievement of ContourGlobal’s significant planned milestone of its decarbonization pathway in 2030, we have also established our ambition to achieve Net Zero by 2040, subject to supportive policy environment and technological progress. Our pledge is aligned with the Paris Agreement goals and will include a roadmap with clear targets.

Our mission is to improve lives by offering reliable and accessible electricity, to promote economic growth and social well-being through the elimination of poverty, and to make the places where we work better because we are there. To accomplish this, we are committed to engaging and consulting all relevant stakeholders, including communities and investing in social projects.

In 2024, ContourGlobal partnered with ERM to lay the strategic and technical foundations for a sustainable financing approach, grounded in a viable Net Zero pathway. Together, the teams developed ContourGlobal’s Green Bond Framework, which received the status of “Excellent” by Sustainable Fitch, as well as a renewed Decarbonization Pathway, and supporting strategies, which led to the successful launch of the company’s inaugural Green Bond earlier this year.

This partnership has received the  “Highly Commended” recognition in the Transformational Partnership Award category at the 2025 Sustainability Delivery Awards, for advancing sustainable finance and corporate decarbonization.

The “Highly Commended” plaque was presented at the 5th Annual Sustainability Delivery Summit, North America, held in Chicago from June 9–11 2025 under the theme “Harnessing Disruption to Deliver Resilient Infrastructure”. The Transformational Partnership Award honors collaborations that exemplify how strategic partnerships can drive measurable progress toward climate goals and sustainable transformation.
