Company Data (B1)
Certifications (B1)
Evaluations are embedded in our supplier selection process, which is also systematically supported by our in-house Supplier ScoreCard (Solar ScoreCard).
The ScoreCard complements supplier selection, contracting, and incoming-goods checks, ensuring transparency for customers regarding quality, safety, and sustainability. Certifications and third-party tests are primarily assessed on the product and supplier side, while SF internally applies documented processes for design, engineering, procurement, installation coordination, and operations & maintenance (O&M) to ensure compliance with relevant standards.
Policies and Practices for the Transition to a More Sustainable Economy (B2)
Our approach is built on clear policies for climate, pollution, circular economy, biodiversity, our own workforce, and workers in the value chain. We systematically integrate supplier due diligence via our internal ScoreCard, require signature of our Code of Conduct, and continuously collect documentation such as EPD/LCA/PCF for key components. This ensures traceability and documented accountability throughout the supply chain.
1. Policies
E – Environment
- setting requirements for the handling of hazardous substances, emissions, waste, and emergencies in compliance with applicable laws,
- ensuring that our suppliers and subcontractors follow the same standards and that requirements are met across the value chain,
- prioritising resource reduction and recycling where technically feasible.
S - Social
G – Governance
2. Concrete Sustainability Practices
3. Future Initiatives and Goals

Energy Consumption (B3)
Breakdown by sources
- Electricity (purchased from the grid): 30.5 MWh
of which 26.4 MWh for the building and 4.1 MWh for charging electric vehicles. - District heating: 48.8 MWh
- Fuels (transport): 159.4 MWh
including diesel 138.2 MWh (13,374 liters)
and petrol 21.2 MWh (2,246 liters).
- Renewable energy: 62.1 MWh (26.0%)
Fossil energy sources: 176.6 MWh (74.0%)

CO₂ Emissions (B3)
Scope 3 (indirect emissions): Scope 3 covers upstream energy and fuel-related activities (extraction, production/refining, power generation, transport, and distribution). These are automatically included via Klimakompas’ 2023 emission factors (updated annually). As a result, Scope 3 emissions are reported even when the input is primarily captured under Scope 1–2.
Data sources: EV charging (supplier/invoice basis), district heating (landlord/administrator), fuel (card provider).
Pollution of Air, Water, and Soil (B4)
- SolarFuture is not subject to reporting requirements for emissions to air, water, or soil, as the company does not operate production facilities or activities with direct environmental discharges. Our environmental impact is limited to energy consumption, transport, and waste, which are reported under the relevant sections.

Biodiversity (B5)
Even though our solar parks are not located within Natura 2000 areas, we work to the same high environmental standards. This means that in all relevant projects we conduct environmental screening, baseline mapping of nature and species, and set clear requirements for contractors on buffer zones or work windows (seasonal restrictions for fauna and birdlife).

Resource Use, Circularity, and Waste Management (B7)
Waste – calculation and method
- Prepared for recycling in total: 7,925 kg (≈ 16.96%)
including organic 4,210 kg (for biogas), paper/cardboard 2,570 kg, plastic/food/drink cartons 895 kg, glass 250 kg.
Combustible residual waste: 38,810 kg
(≈ 83.04% energy recovery/incineration).
The calculation is based on the landlord’s fraction data and weight statements, allocated by area. Wherever possible, we work with clear waste sorting and packaging return to increase the share prepared for recycling.

Policies and initiatives
We conduct regular safety training courses and appoint safety officers on projects. We apply permit-to-work/LOTO procedures for electrical work and ensure emergency preparedness and first aid on all projects.
Corruption and Bribery (B11)
Our Code of Conduct for Business Partners establishes requirements for due diligence, integrity, fair competition, and a clear prohibition against bribery and other unethical business practices. Suppliers must carry out appropriate due diligence, collaborate with us on risk assessments, controls, and continuous improvements. Any incidents will be investigated, documented, and addressed with appropriate consequences and learning.
