At Lhyfe, we are committed to building a better, more breathable future for generations to come by producing and delivering green hydrogen. However, our commitment goes beyond that. It’s reflected in our day-to-day business and work processes.
Our Commitment
Faced with the urgent consequences of climate change, Lhyfe has been committed to decarbonisation from the very beginning. Our mission? To make the world more breathable by drastically reducing CO₂ emissions.
Environmental, social, and governance responsibilities are at the heart of our actions. We work hand in hand with industry, mobility players, and local authorities to build a cleaner and more sustainable future together.
The numbers that make the difference:
Governance & Strategy
Oversight & Responsibility
Our Social and Environmental Responsibility Committee, reporting to the Board of Directors, guides and monitors our CSR strategy. It evaluates environmental and social risks, reviews policies, and ensures alignment with stakeholder expectations.
Action Plan
Each year, the Committee updates our action plan and reports back to the Board to ensure clarity and ambition at every step.
Recognition that reflects our efforts
In 2024, we scored 86/100, well above the sector average of 59. This Platinum rating — the highest possible level — ranked Lhyfe #1 in the European utilities sector. A recognition that validates the strength of our sustainable strategy and our ability to combine growth with positive impact.
Environment: Our Green DNA
Green Hydrogen for Decarbonisation
We produce hydrogen using only water and 100% renewable electricity. The result: almost no CO₂ emissions in production or use, making our hydrogen a cornerstone for decarbonising heavy transport and industry.
- At Bouin: ~1 kg CO₂ per kg H₂ vs 11 kg for grey hydrogen.
- Our operations meet RFNBO standards and are certified with the CertifHy label.
Biodiversity & Ecosystems
Every site undergoes a strict impact study on biodiversity, with compensatory measures where needed. Innovation goes further: our BOxHy project in the Baltic Sea, with Stockholm University, explores how offshore hydrogen production could help reoxygenate marine ecosystems and improve water quality.
Pollution & Water Management
Our process emits no waste other than oxygen. Water is mainly purified seawater, with brine responsibly returned to nature following impact studies. We prioritise recycling and minimising hazardous waste.
Circular Economy
We adopt a circular approach by reusing and recycling resources, selecting local suppliers where possible, and using reconditioned equipment to reduce our footprint
Social Responsibility
Our Culture
Lhyfe’s values — courage, optimism, solidarity — shape a culture that balances ambition with care.
We prioritise well-being, openness, and transparency to create a positive workplace where every employee can contribute to Lhyfe’s ambitious mission.
Training & Development
We continuously invest in training in safety, technical skills, management, and mobility, in partnership with leading educational institutions.
We also engage with local communities through site visits, open days, and awareness programmes.
Employement & Diversity
We actively support work-life balance, parental leave, and disability inclusion.
Our initiatives also focus on equality, anti-discrimination, anti-harassment, and the promotion of women in green hydrogen through the Women in Green Hydrogen network.
Ethics & Compliance
Responsible Supply Chain
Our procurement policy builds long-term, trust-based partnerships with suppliers who share our commitments to human rights, labour laws, anti-corruption, and environmental responsibility.
Anti-Corruption & Whistleblowing
We enforce strict anti-corruption policies and provide secure whistleblowing channels to protect integrity and prevent unethical behaviour.
