Our Commitment to 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.
Green Bond 2025: supporting our sustainability-driven transition
A Green Bond is a fixed-income financial instrument issued to raise capital for projects with a positive environmental impact such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, and clean infrastructure.
In February 2025, we issued our first corporate Green Bond, comprised of two tranches with an estimated total value of US$1.1 billion to support our ambitious transition strategy focused on accelerating renewable energy growth and achieving its goal of Net Zero direct emissions by 2040. The offering was multiple times oversubscribed, underscoring investor confidence in out sustainability-driven vision and our long-term strategic plans.
By year-end 2025, we reported the successful allocation of US$657 million to eligible sustainable projects, representing approximately 60% of the total green financing.
These investments support a diversified portfolio across 10 countries, with an estimated 2.4 GW of renewable installed capacity and 962 MW / 4.5 GWh of battery energy storage. The operational assets in the supported portfolio deliver over 5.7 TWh of clean energy per year, while avoiding an estimated 2.1 million tons of CO₂ emissions.
This Green Bond issuance has also been highlighted by the International Transition Plan Network (ITPN) as a leading example of how private-sector transition planning can unlock large-scale access to transition finance.
A reliable and collaborative partnership
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.
