Vattenfall also generates, distributes and sells heat, and conducts energy trading and lignite mining. The parent company, Vattenfall AB, is wholly owned by the Swedish state. In 2008 Vattenfall adopted a strategic direction that we summarise in three words: Making electricity clean. This is our promise to customers and society, and it entails that we continue reducing the environmental impact of all our operations at the same time that we emphasise the significant role that electricity will play in the sustainable society of tomorrow. An integral part of this strategy is Vattenfall’s climate vision – to be a climate-neutral company by 2050. For 2030 we have set the target of halving our CO2 emissions per kWh from energy generation compared with 1990. www.vattenfall.com
