Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures | TCFD

In 2023, we worked to better understand the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures [TCFD] and how they could be implemented at Energy Vault. We also conducted our first climate scenario analysis, assessing both transition and physical risks across our global operations.

Sustainability Task Force

Energy Vault established a Sustainability Task Force (STF) to encourage the interdepartmental collaboration and cross-functional support required to embed sustainability into the nucleus of employee behavior. At the department level, Sustainability Task Force members are responsible for identifying functional sustainability metrics, setting sustainability goals, tracking ESG performance, and contributing to sustainability-related reporting.

The STF is an incredible way to engage and collaborate with the sustainability leaders at Energy Vault. It's a rewarding experience working through the challenges and opportunities of infusing sustainability into every single department.

Sustainability

Sustainability needs development in all aspects and by everyone. We engage under-represented industries (concrete, steel, manufacturing, local labor), creating solutions to uniquely enable sustainability, rather than focusing on incumbent, import-oriented solutions.

Sustainability is core to our software, optimizing asset performance in many ways. It ensures asset health through analyzing KPIs, minimizes degradation to extend asset life, and can integrate emissions reduction as a core objective to lower environmental impact.
