Sustainability reporting
We have reported on sustainability for over 30 years and our report is subject to third-party assurance to ensure its accuracy.
Sustainability is more than simply a business strategy at TransAlta, it’s our competitive advantage.
Sustainability, or ESG, is one of our core values: it is part of our corporate culture and is a top priority. We strive to integrate sustainability into governance, decision-making, risk management and our day-to-day business processes, while balancing growth considerations and the economy.
The outcome of continuous improvement on key sustainability issues and ensuring our economic value creation is balanced with a value proposition for the environment and for people.
