Development of Sustainability Get Baltic: priorities, goals and results
As part of the EPSO-G group of energy transmission and exchange companies, our concept of sustainability is inseparable from that of the group as a whole. We understand sustainability as the implementation of the transformation of the energy sector, ensuring a balance between environmental, social and economic goals, thus contributing to the creation of a climate-neutral economy.
We are guided by the principle that of sustainability must be integrated into all our activities and processes. We therefore aim to contribute to the overall sustainability of the EPSO-G group by making a contribution commensurate with the size and performance of our company.

In 2021, Get Baltic, together with other companies in the EPSO-G Group, conducted an GHG inventory in accordance with the international GHG Protocol methodology. During the inventory, direct (first level) and indirect (second level) greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the company’s activities and impacts were assessed. Scope 2 emissions are calculated using the market based approach.

The main sources of emissions are:
- The use of diesel fuel in cars (Scope 1) accounts for 57.38% of total GHG emissions
- Purchased electricity for own use (Scope 2) – 35.67% of total GHG emissions
- The use of petrol in cars (Scope 1) accounts for 3.70% of total GHG emissions
- Purchased heat energy for own use (Scope 2) – 3.24% of total GHG emissions
The main reasons for the reduction in emissions are the use of green energy in the company’s operations, lower energy consumption in offices due to the impact of COVID-19, as well as lower emissions from transport due to less frequent travel.
This year, Get Baltic is committed to developing and publishing long-term plans for reducing GHG emissions.
