Climate and Environmental Policy

Respecting Nature and Responsible Utilisation of Resources

Our Climate and Environmental Policy

Landsvirkjun is at the forefront of environmental and climate issues.

We respect the Icelandic landscape and natural environment and continually strive to optimise the use of resources and prevent waste. Emphasis is placed on understanding and minimising the environmental impact of our operations and preventing environmental incidents.

Landsvirkjun intends to achieve carbon neutrality and actively participates in the global response to climate change. We systematically work towards reducing our carbon emissions, supporting Iceland’s commitment to the Paris Agreement, and responding to climate change-induced challenges and opportunities.
