Novar is committed to accelerating the energy transition and improving the world in the process. To achieve this, we initiate, realize, and maintain large-scale green energy systems for major energy users. We never shy away from a challenge. We are fixers who make new energy happen. We have launched our ESG initiative because we recognize that our ambition for sustainable energy is aligned with the pursuit of a better world.
Novar is accelerating the energy transition. We develop renewable green energy systems for a CO2-neutral energy grid. Yet our impact goes beyond delivering megawatts: it also affects ecosystems, local communities, and supply chains. That’s why we continue to advance our ESG efforts, despite regulatory changes.
In 2024, we laid the foundation. A thorough Double Materiality Assessment (DMA) and a series of CSRD gap analyses were carried out. These are technical tools that act as catalysts for strategic decisions. They help us sharpen our focus, set priorities, and engage in dialogue with stakeholders about what truly matters.
“Even as regulations shift, our ambition remains unchanged. ESG is not a checkbox exercise, it’s about aligning our strategy with the longterm value we want to create. From biodiversity to cybersecurity, from human rights in our supply chain to the mental wellbeing of our team. We see these themes not only as responsibilities, but as opportunities to lead. As we expand across Europe, consistency, credibility and local engagement are now more essential than ever.” – Gerben Smit, CEO
Novar focuses on the following seven pillars of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):
In the coming period, our focus will be on setting goals and determining the actions needed to achieve them. Our focus themes are increasingly being embedded within our organization, becoming a more integral part of our day-to-day operations. Curious about our progress on ESG and CSRD?
