Climate change is one of the defining challenges of this generation. Its impact is evident in increasingly extreme weather patterns, rising sea levels, water shortages and disruption to biodiversity and ecosystems.
Electricity has a transformative role to play in tackling climate change by eliminating carbon and other harmful greenhouse gas emissions from the energy sector. The pace of decarbonisation and electrification is critical in determining whether it will be possible to stay below 1.5°C of planetary warming.
At ESB, every part of our business is working to remove carbon from the electricity system and support the decarbonisation of Irish society, in line with our Net Zero by 2040 strategy. And more broadly, we are striving to embed sustainability leadership right across our operations.
Through electricity as an enabler of regeneration, we are driven to make a difference for planet, place and people.
We are committed to driving society forward and delivering a net zero energy future for our customers and communities. This strong sense of purpose is reflected in our unwavering commitment to tackling some of the biggest challenges we face as a society, including climate change.
