hep receives ESG Transformation Award 2024 - Seite 2

In addition, hep develops concepts to provide additional benefits for the solar parks. The biodiversity approach, for example, aims to design interventions in ecosystems in such a way that, in addition to the main purpose – the construction of a photovoltaic system to produce green energy – the original function of the area is also supported, and its preservation is considered in development activities. In addition, with its solar products, the hep Group helps other companies to reduce energy-related emissions and offers individual approaches that are precisely tailored to the requirements of the customer's energy consumption. These tailor-made solutions help to achieve companies' sustainability goals in a cost-effective manner while accelerating the transition to a low-carbon economy.

ESG Transformation Award

The ESG Transformation Award was presented for the second time in 2024 and honors special sustainability initiatives in the financial industry. A four-member, independent jury – including Silke Stremlau, Chair of the Sustainable Finance Advisory Board of the Federal Government, Lanna Idriss, Board Member of SOS Children's Villages, and Prof. Christian Klein, Chair of Sustainable Finance at the University of Kassel – recognizes initiatives in the areas of environmental, social and governance and evaluates them based on scientific indicators. Other 2024 award winners were Landesbank Baden-Württemberg, the financial services group SEB and Zurich Insurance.

The award ceremony took place on 24 April 2024 in a festive atmosphere at the Frankfurt Museum of Communication. The gala was attended by around 100 guests, including leading figures from the financial services industry.
