2.3 Business policy of the HSE Group
Mission
The HSE Group’s mission is to maintain its leading position in the domestic market and
adopt a leading role in the markets of SE Europe, as well as to develop the Slovenian
energy sector and science, establishing them in an international context.
Vision
Our vision is to provide for optimum utilisation of Slovene energy sources and expert
potential while establishing partnerships abroad – especially in SE Europe – and thus
ensure long-term competitive advantage of the Group in the global energy market and
expand its business operations to create additional synergy effects for the Group and
Slovenia as a whole.
Values
The values of the HSE Group reflect in the Group’s attitude towards society, employees,
customers, business partners and owners. We focus on:
• having satisfied service users;
• building responsible, long-term partnerships with business partners;
• environment protection, use of RES;
• striving to achieve professional competence;
• permanent education and establishment of a motivating working environment for
employees;
• providing secure and stable jobs and creative working environment;
• efficient operation and generation of returns for the owners;
• continuous improvement of the management system.
2.4 Strategic policies of the HSE Group
The HSE Group is bound to contribute its share to solve the key challenge of European and
thus national energetics: assure safe, competent and sustainable energy supply to users.
This challenge demands that we remain active in light of achieving ambitious goals 3x20
in all priority areas: RES exploitation, reducing CO 2
emissions and providing efficient and
reliable supply of domestic users. This framework also contains our long-term investments
in new production facilities that we always assess also from the perspective of contribution
to long-term commitments of the State in the climate and environmental area.
Despite severe market conditions and taking into account general economic situation, in
2012 the HSE Group strived to:
• Maintain the position of the largest E-RES producer in Slovenia;
• Contribute to significant reduction in CO 2
emission in electricity production;
• Provide stable supply to users in a competitive manner through exploitation of the sole
domestic primary energy product;
• Develop the centre for new energy technologies;
• Maintain the position of leading electricity trader in the region;
• Expand its role in SE Europe; and
• Seize the opportunities that will arise from the project South Stream in Slovenia
regarding exploitation of natural gas for production of electricity and/or thermal energy
for households and industry.
In 2012, we implemented these policies through continued activities on projects, especially
in terms of the lower Sava River HPPs construction, replacement Unit 6 in TEŠ and new
export shaft in PV. We also continued to carry out activities regarding HPPs on the Mura
River and the middle Sava River, as well as the solution for energy location of TET. The
same goes for the activities aimed at establishing a more efficient coordination between
the controlling company HSE and the Group’s subsidiaries in order to maximise the
availability of the Group’s potential and exploitation of synergy effects.
