Environmental Impact
One of the power plants that Alarko Holding partly owns, called Cenal, uses coal to make electricity. In 2022, this power plant produced a lot of greenhouse gases. These are gases that can warm up the Earth's atmosphere.
Because of this, the Cenal power plant is on a special list. This list is kept by an organization called Urgewald. It includes companies that use a lot of coal, which contributes to climate change.
