Social acceptability of renewable energies: Convive Programme

Socioeconomic development and biodiversity conservation are two key elements of our decarbonisation strategy, demonstrating that the supply of clean and sustainable energy can and must coexist with society and nature. Maintaining environmental balance and contributing to social and economic development are a fundamental part of our company.

To this end, we created Convive Programme, a programme that integrates all the initiatives and alliances Iberdrola has in this area. 
 

This program integrates specific actions for each project and its location, as well as global actions. There are 3 main areas of action:

• Contributing to socio-economic development: Initiatives that enable the projects' contribution to economic and social development at the local as well as national level.
• Protecting and enhancing biodiversity: Actions that contribute to the integration of facilities into the territory and landscape by improving their contribution to biodiversity.
• Learning from the experts: Improving the impact of renewables and the social acceptance of the energy transition through third party partnerships.
