Egyptian Electricity Holding Company

Egyptian Electricity Holding Company (EEHC) is a state-owned company headquartered in Cairo, Egypt. It was established in 2000 and operates in the production, transmission and distribution of electricity in Egypt. The company has 16 subsidiaries and serves around 38 million customers, making it one of the largest utilities in North Africa.

Summary

EEHC performs poorly in the 2024 Urban Benchmark, with clear potential to improve its reporting on a substantial number of sustainability topics. Although the company discloses some information on the quality and accessibility of its services, as well as on energy efficiency and employee training, it should be more specific about the actions it takes to improve performance. The company’s lack of reporting on air pollution, greenhouse gas emissions and water withdrawal, among other topics, leads to lower transparency, making it difficult to understand and evaluate its impact on people and the planet.

To foster positive change, EEHC should identify its most significant sustainability risks and opportunities through a materiality assessment. Additionally, the company should draft and publish a sustainability strategy that integrates these priorities into its overall business strategy, with clear accountability assigned to the highest governing body, such as the board of directors, to ensure robust oversight. Furthermore, EEHC is recommended to establish measurable, time-bound and, where possible, science-based targets to reduce negative impacts, while regularly reporting on progress against its sustainability goals.
