Thinking about a more sustainable business — an Indicators approach

Abstract

TXU Europe is one of the leading integrated energy companies in the UK and a fast-growing player in the deregulated energy markets of continental Europe. Its services include electricity generation, energy trading, electricity distribution, and electricity and natural gas marketing. Formerly known as Eastern Group plc, TXU Europe is the European arm of global energy company TXU, which acquired Eastern in 1998 for £4.45 billion. At TXU Europe, we believe that sustainable development is about achieving economic growth — in the form of better living standards for all — while protecting and, where possible, enhancing the environment. This approach does not exclude business development and profit, but rather guides it along a route of environmental protection and social responsibility.
