20230428 green finance framework final

The 2023 version of Enexis's Green Finance Framework represents a significant expansion of the company's sustainability positioning and strategic framework. The newer document substantially enlarges the introduction section to provide deeper organizational context, including explicit mention of subsidiary companies (Enexis Netbeheer, Enpuls) and their specific roles, as well as a formal articulation of the company's mission, vision, and strategic goals around renewable energy and the energy transition.

These changes reflect an enhanced commitment to transparency, stakeholder engagement, and alignment with international sustainability standards and climate action frameworks.
