SHV Energy is pleased to publish its Sustainability Report 2025, marking the ninth consecutive year the company has reported on its sustainability performance.

Environmental

  • Upgrading carbon accounting
    We began onboarding all our businesses to Gravity Climate, an end-to-end carbon and energy management software platform.
  • Expanding LPG infrastructure
    We inaugurated our 16th LPG filling plant in Coimbatore, India, which increases our distribution capacity and supply reliability while also integrating solar technologies.
  • Exploring alternative material usage
    We worked with suppliers to assess recyclability challenges associated with alternatives to traditional steel cylinders.
  • Refining local greenhouse gas (GHG) emission management
    We helped our local businesses develop GHG emission reduction plans, enabling a more consistent and measurable approach to reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions.
  • Collaborating on sustainable fuels
    We continued our collaboration with Astomos and Furukawa, as well as with DCC Energy and other partners, to explore opportunities in rLG and rDME development.

Social

  • Launching new training and development initiatives
    We introduced allyship training for employees and leadership development programmes for women, to create a stronger foundation for gender representation in leadership - supporting innovation, talent retention, and long-term business resilience.
  • Shaping the future of rural energy in Europe
    We advanced our longstanding Future of Rural Energy in Europe (FREE) initiative by organising two stakeholder policy dialogues on the crucial topics of ‘Flexible, affordable, and secure rural energy needs’ and ‘Energy resilience in rural areas’.
  • Upskilling leaders for business transformation
    108 leaders from across our businesses participated in the Digital & Transformation Academy to strengthen their digital, analytical, and transformation capabilities.
  • Deepening our customer centricity
    We launched the ‘Caring Beyond Flame’ initiative in India, which involves biannual customer visits from back-office colleagues and more direct feedback gathering to drive improvements in our products and services.
  • Strengthening transportation safety measures
    We made significant progress on improving transportation safety across our value chain, including by opening Transport Operation Centers, using AI to detect safety issues, and deepening our collaboration with contractors.

Governance

  • Integrating AI compliance into our Ethics & Compliance framework
    We underscored our commitment to responsible use of artificial intelligence (AI), regulatory compliance, and supporting long-term value creation.
