The rating reflects TenneT Germany’s strong performance in managing key environmental and social risks and opportunities, with particularly strong performance in Biodiversity & Land Use and Opportunities in Renewable Energy, complemented by a strong Corporate Behaviour score. “The AA rating from MSCI provides further external validation of our sustainability efforts and our ability to manage long?term ESG risks.
