Our contribution to the goals is determined by measuring impact. Together with other grid operators, we are able to determine this increasingly precisely. We expanded our impact measurements in the focus area human capital in 2023 with the development of employees.
In our impact model, we show our impact in euros on these six categories of capital, in which a comparison is made between the realisation in the current year and the previous year. This model provides an integrated image of our value creation for our stakeholders and our contribution to the SDGs and thus forms a type of social annual report.
The work on and investments in the energy system of the future increased further in 2023, which has resulted in a decrease in financial capital. Furthermore, the well-being value of, in particular, gas transmission for consumers and the value of energy transmission for business customers rose as the willingness to pay has remained high despite price increases.
The impacts are categorised in accordance with the value creation model of the Value Reporting Foundation (VRF), which categorises these impacts in six capitals: Financial, Manufactured, Intellectual, Natural, Social, and Human Capital. Enexis quantifies one or several indicators for the capitals Financial, Manufactured, Natural and Human. The capitals are explained in more detail below.
