E.ON invested more than 2.2 million euros last year in projects supporting the communities where it operates, bringing the Group\u2019s total investment in such initiatives in Romania to 24 million euros since entering the local market, according to its 2025 Sustainability Report, recently published.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
More than 1,700 employees \u2014 over a quarter of E.ON\u2019s workforce \u2014 took part in volunteering activities, contributing more than 7,000 hours to communities across the counties where the company operates. This represents an increase of more than 1,000 volunteer hours compared with the previous year. In total, E.ON supported 139 institutions and non-governmental organizations, reaching around 90,000 direct beneficiaries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Group\u2019s main areas of community involvement focused on promoting a culture of safety and preparing future generations, addressing climate change and protecting the environment, as well as supporting energy efficiency projects and campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cTogether for Safety\u201d partnership, launched in 2012 together with the Department for Emergency Situations and the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations, reaches more than 5 million Romanians every year with messages promoting the safe use of energy. The campaign is supported through TV and radio spots, as well as social media initiatives under the \u201cSafe Romania\u201d umbrella.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Over the past two years, the \u201cDetector for Life\u201d campaign has distributed and installed 20,000 smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in the homes of vulnerable families across several Romanian counties. The devices can make the difference between an incident and a tragedy and have already proven their life-saving role in several situations that could otherwise have had tragic consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the \u201cGive the Gift of Light\u201d campaign, E.ON provides free energy to social institutions, schools and families in need. Since the initiative was launched in 2015, the company has donated approximately 9 million kWh of energy to 89 institutions and more than 3,300 vulnerable families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Under the \u201cRoots for the Future\u201d programme, E.ON employees have planted more than 235,000 trees across 44 hectares to date. In 2025 alone, more than 24,000 trees were planted in Mure\u0219, Covasna and Gura Humorului.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E.ON volunteers were also involved in ecotourism and sustainability projects, including cleaning hiking trails along the Via Transilvanica route and restoring trails in the counties of Mure\u0219, Bra\u0219ov, Alba and Covasna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u201cEnergy in the Schools of Childhood\u201d project continued in 2025, with lighting systems modernized in 15 educational institutions in the counties of Mure\u0219, Boto\u0219ani, Maramure\u0219 and Arad. Since 2015, the programme has equipped 102 schools, benefiting more than 60,000 students and teachers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Through the \u201cChildhood Parks\u201d initiative, E.ON created two new playgrounds in 2025 \u2014 at the \u201cCurious Elephant\u201d Kindergarten in Sibiu and at a school in R\u00e2ciu, Mure\u0219 County. This brings the total number of playgrounds developed through the programme since 2007 to 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
E.ON also continued its \u201cEnergy Lessons\u201d programme, through which employee volunteers visit hundreds of classrooms every year. The sessions teach students about the safe use of energy sources and encourage them to adopt more energy-efficient habits.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
