Since the company’s founding, DTEK has grown into a national energy leader. Sustainable growth and responsible business practices have been integral to our approach for 20 years, and today we are going further than ever before, transforming into a pan-European clean energy business.
Through this publication, we outline DTEK’s progress in our sustainability journey and share our vision for the path ahead. We explain the work underway to align the Group with international standards and set out the efforts already in progress to enhance our sustainability performance across environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters.
Lastly, we tell the story of the team behind this transformation: the 55,000 DTEK employees who are helping deliver a secure and sustainable energy future in the full understanding that our energy powers life.
Our ambition is clear: while maintaining essential existing power generation in the short term, we will lead Ukraine into a new era of sustainable energy, creating a low-carbon, renewable and distributed energy system, while also expanding operations and clean energy projects in Europe to strengthen the continent’s energy security.
“Today, the consequences of war are fuelling DTEK’s drive to become a sustainable and resilient energy leader in both Ukraine and Europe.”
Maxim Timchenko
Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
“We define sustainability at DTEK by two key efforts: keeping the lights on today and investing in tomorrow.”
Jeff Oatham
Chief Sustainability Officer (CSO)
