Sustainability

We believe in sustaining and restoring our environment and contributing to the communities that enable our success. Through our green energy business, the GoldenPeaks Capital Foundation and GoldenPeaks Capital Conservation, we are actively contributing to a more sustainable future.

01
A more Sustainable Future
Half a century ago visionary Rachel Carson told us in her famous book ‘Silent Spring’ about the coming challenges of climate change. But the worlds of economics and politics move slowly, at least until there is an emergency. And so when that emergency comes, it is vital that we act with great speed, intelligence and agility.

Our children, our children's children, the flora and fauna of the planet, all rely on the actions we take today. As founders of GoldenPeaks Capital, we regard the climate change agenda as both a critical responsibility and a vital moment we must seize.

GoldenPeaks Capital’s UN SDG Contributions
GoldenPeaks Capital’s sustainability strategy allows the Group to align with and contribute to a substantial number of the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDGs). GoldenPeaks Capital is contributing to the SDGs in the following ways:
Through GPC Energy
Affordable &
Clean Energy
As an independent producer of renewable energy, GoldenPeaks Capital is focusing on solar PV in Europe. In its main production markets Poland and Hungary, GoldenPeaksCapital is already making a major contribution to the provision of affordable and clean energy.
Decent work & economic growth
GoldenPeaks Capital is creating economic growth and job opportunities through the fast-growing operations of the parent company and its subsidiaries, as well as indirectly through contractors.
Industry, innovation & infrastructure
GoldenPeaks Capital is constantly striving to innovate the industry and build the right infrastructure. Its game-changing energy technology designed to capture and store excess energy generated by renewable sources such as solar panels and wind turbines serves as an example here.
Climate Action
With its strong focus on building and providing renewable energy such as solar and wind in Europe, GoldenPeaks Capital is actively contributing to the United Nation’s Climate action goal.
Life on land
Through the integration of rewilding and biodiversity projects at solar panel sites, GoldenPeaks Capital is actively fostering life on land by increasing biodiversity and conserving and restoring nature in the countries where it operates.
Through GPC Conservation
Life below water
Another focus of the GoldenPeaks Capital Conservation Foundation is to support projects that safeguard the ocean and marine biodiversity and build ocean resilience.
Life on land
Through the GoldenPeaks Capital Conservation Foundation, we support initiatives that conserve and restore ecosystems that benefit plant and animal species diversity. GoldenPeaks Capital’s rewilding projects further strengthen our engagement in this field.
Through GPC Foundation
No poverty
The overall goal of fighting poverty is key to the GoldenPeaksFoundation. Several of its initiatives contribute to that goal, be it long-term or short-term, such as during a crisis like COVID-19when millions of people were suddenly struggling.
Zero hunger
The GoldenPeaks Foundation believes that no child should suffer from hunger as it jeopardises their health and their future. Therefore, it supports projects that address the problem of hunger and malnutrition.
Good health & well-being
By funding initiatives that enhance physical, psychological or spiritual well-being or projects that make the necessary tools and equipment available, the foundation is working towards the United Nations Good health goal.
Quality education
The GoldenPeaks Foundation supports projects that work towards achieving quality education in countries where young people have little opportunity to develop and realise their potential.
Clean water & sanitation
Especially in rural areas in developing countries, access to clean drinking water and sanitation can be a problem.Therefore, the foundation supports initiatives that work towards eliminating this issue.
Reduced inequalities
By funding global and local projects mainly in developing countries, the GoldenPeaks Foundation is helping to reduce inequalities.

The Role of Technology

New and more efficient technologies are key for a more sustainable future. And the speed of technological development in the renewables sector is necessarily fast. This applies with regard to both efficient energy production and transmission as well as energy storage and the hardware that is used to roll out green technology.

Adopting the latest technologies is essential for staying at the forefront of the renewable energy revolution. As the pace of technological advancement accelerates, it becomes increasingly important to continually explore and integrate the best solutions available on the market. This proactive approach ensures that we not only meet the growing demands for efficient and sustainable energy production but also enhance our capabilities in energy storage and distribution.

By embracing cutting-edge innovations, we can optimize every aspect of the energy life cycle—from generation and transmission to storage and deployment. This includes leveraging advanced materials, state-of-the-art hardware, and intelligent systems that allow for more efficient energy management and reduced environmental impact.

What the experts say

“The sun has not sent us a bill. The wind has not invoiced us. There really is no excuse. The earth has all the power we need”
Dr Asha De Vos
Marine biologist and Jeremy Rifkin economist, 2021
“For over 60 years, I’ve been privileged to witness the natural world in all its wonder, but the planet I saw as a young man has changed beyond recognition. We have the capacity and knowledge to stop the damage we’re doing. What we don’t have is time.”
David Attenborough
2021
“Solar power is going to become so cheap over the next 20 years that it will be the dominant source of energy around the world. And that changes everything. We are talking worldwide of having to spend two or three trillion dollars a year on the installation of solar infrastructure over the next 30 years (that is 3-4% of world GNP)”
Chris Goodall
Businessman, economist, 2020
“More and more are looking to reallocate their capital into sustainable strategies. If ten percent of global investors do so – or even five percent – we will witness massive capital shifts. And this dynamic will accelerate as the next generation takes the helm of government and business.”
Larry Fink
Chairman and CEO of Black Rock, 2020
“By managing what gets measured, we can break the Tragedy of the Horizon. With better information as a foundation, we can build a virtuous circle of better understanding of tomorrow’s risks, better pricing for investors, better decisions by policymakers, and a smoother transition to a lower-carbon economy.”
Mark Carney
As Governor of the Bank of England
“Global heating and its terrible impacts are running ahead of climate scientists’ expectations and modelling. Accordingly, going solar is increasingly about creating hope in hell."
Sir Jonathon Porritt CBE
Environmentalist and writer
“We have all the resources we need to deal with this. There is nothing magical about reducing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. There is nothing magical about the greenhouse effect. We know exactly how to deal with it. We just don’t have the political or economic will to do this.”
Professor Stephan Harrison
Professor of Climate and Environmental Change, University of Exeter, 1919
“Until you start focusing on what needs to be done rather than what is politically possible there is no hope. We cannot solve a crisis without treating it as a crisis. We need to keep the fossil fuels in the ground and we need to focus on equity. And if solutions within this system are so impossible to find then maybe we should change the system itself.”
Greta Thunberg
Speech at UN Climate Change COP24 conference, 2018
