The visual below illustrates our position in the value chain, the stakeholders involved, and the upstream and downstream activities. ‘Upstream’ refers to the parties and activities that precede Enexis in the chain, such as national grid operators, energy producers, and suppliers. ‘Downstream’ refers to the parties and activities that follow Enexis in the chain, including business customers and consumers connected to our grids. (ESRS 2 SBM-1 par. 42b en c)
The visual representation also highlights our material themes and where they primarily occur within the value chain. Further information on these themes, including their impacts, risks, opportunities, and origins, is available in the General Explanatory Notes to the Sustainability Statement.
Value creation model
We use our energy networks, people, and financial resources to drive social progress. In other words, we create value for society. This is illustrated schematically in our value creation model, which includes the following elements: (ESRS 2 SBM-1 par. 42a en 42b)
-
The resources (input) we use to achieve our goals, such as our energy networks and our people.
-
How we use these resources to create value for society (added value).
-
The specific value we create (output).
-
What we achieve for our customers, employees, and other stakeholders (outcome).
