For more than a decade, DTEK’s defence of an energy system in war has reshaped how we think about the energy transition. Our pursuit of greater energy security has driven our need for a modern, flexible and decentralised system that is faster to deploy and harder to destroy. This is a system that emits less, advances Ukraine’s European integration and will power the country’s post-war recovery.
DTEK is already building this system. We are delivering Ukraine’s largest-ever rollout of decentralised assets, working closely with international partners to accelerate investments in wind power and other types of distributed generation, battery storage, smart grids and rooftop solar.
Throughout this transformation, our priorities remain clear. We are focused on providing reliable electricity to millions of households, supporting our people and caring for our communities. At the same time, DTEK is setting the benchmark for corporate governance in Ukraine: as a European operator committed to transparency, ethical conduct and international best practice.
"From the bitter experience of war, Ukraine is forging a new energy future. Relentless russian attacks have demonstrated the value of an energy system with decentralised generation at its core. Together with DTEK's environmental commitments and an understanding that our energy powers life, today sustainability is a strategic imperative across our businesses."
Our sustainability goals focus on the areas where DTEK can have the greatest impact while creating value for all our stakeholders.
Accelerate Ukraine’s decarbonisation and build an energy system of the future by phasing out coal and scaling renewables, storage and clean energy infrastructure.
Strengthen Ukraine’s energy security through a modern, flexible and decentralised power system.
Minimise the negative impacts and maximise the positive value of our activities on people and the planet.
Set the benchmark for modern, competitive business in Ukraine through strong corporate governance and alignment with European and international standards.
"Sustainability at DTEK is about making responsible decisions in the most demanding circumstances. Our goals guide how we balance energy security, decarbonisation and social responsibility as we shape the future of energy in Ukraine and Europe."
Through this publication, we outline DTEK’s progress in our sustainability journey and share our vision for the path ahead.

Protecting the environment is central to DTEK’s goal to manage our impacts. We integrated environmental considerations into our planning and operations and take action to comply with applicable environmental laws and standards in the countries where we operate.
Our workforce keeps the energy system running, whatever the challenge. We strive to provide a safe and supportive working environment where every person is valued and can thrive.
Customers depend on us for the energy that powers their homes, businesses and communities. Not a single day of war has passed without us focusing on this critical need.
The communities in which DTEK operates are closely connected to our activities. We aim to make a positive contribution by supporting local economies, creating jobs and acting responsibly to enhance wellbeing across the regions we serve.
At the core of DTEK’s drive to be more sustainable sits world-class governance. We adhere to ethical standards, responsible business practices and industry-leading compliance.
DTEK’s compliance programme and anti-corruption measures are benchmarked against Europe’s leading energy companies, and DTEK is an active member of the World Economic Forum’s Partnering Against Corruption Initiative (PACI).
