Our core values

In it together

We enjoy collaborating to achieve the green transition – with our colleagues and everyone else who wants to be part of the journey. Focus for us is on solving the task – not on who is formally responsible. If you reach out to colleagues, they are always eager to help. When we see a problem – we solve it together. When we succeed, we celebrate together.

Excitement

We are excited and passionate about our work, the journey we are on towards a greener planet and what we are achieving. The excitement is contagious – and we enjoy inspiring and being inspired by each other. We love what we are doing, and we have fun doing it.

Inclusion

We celebrate our differences – and we respect and appreciate the individual. You can be yourself and be accepted as you are.

Agility

We like to act quickly and smartly. We are open minded, willing to take risks and carefully consider all opportunities. We push the limits of the technologies we work with and ourselves. We think and act in non-bureaucratic ways and make decisions effectively.

Trust and courage

We have a high degree of trust between each other. We think creatively, think outside of the box and enter uncharted territory. We have a flat hierarchy with an open and honest dialogue, and we empower each other. When you have been given a mandate, we trust in your abilities.

Ambition

We want to become a global major in order to create a better world. We are driven to push each other in order to facilitate the green transition. We have a winner’s mentality – we do not give up before we succeed. To us it is about achieving together.

European Energy´s mission is to grow into a global force that champions the green transition, develop green energy solutions and encourage the world to join the movement towards a fossil free society.
