Where the journey is taking us
 

Efficient IT systems are essential for gas trading and our business as a whole. Because that is the case, we are continuously developing these systems and our digital service offerings. One example of this is the VNG business portal: We have created a modern, central platform for managing all aspects of your contract.

The decisive factors for success are our employees and their skills. Since 2018, we have therefore been challenging and encouraging our employees to come with us

on a long-term digital journey with various milestones. For example, we have set up a digital workspace for them, which makes working with IT applications easier. With this and numerous other initiatives, we are creating the conditions for agile working and the digital business ideas of tomorrow and beyond.
