Creating value for society
Loyal to our firm commitment to creating sustainable value for society at large, Iberdrola Group works tirelessly to strengthen the initiatives that make up our social dividend, with the intention that our activity should nurture the development of the communities in our areas of influence.
We invest to lead the electrification of the economy
- Iberdrola is undergoing a phase of sustainable growth in its main geographical and business areas to continue addressing the challenges of electrification, providing the solutions that have positioned the company as the utility of the future by anticipating sector trends.
We create value for our shareholders
- We maintain a constructive, ongoing and effective dialogue with our shareholders in order to understand their views and concerns and encourage their involvement in the life of the company. In addition, over the last 25 years we have created more than €55.832 billion in value and distributed dividends totalling €44.499 billion, significantly outperforming the total shareholder return of the average of the three largest US utilities by market capitalisation, the total return of the European sector index (Euro STOXX Utilities) and the total return of the Spanish market index (IBEX 35).
We create jobs and promote professional development
- In 2024, Iberdrola hired 4,500 new professionals. Our commitment to the professional development of our more than 45,400 employees translates into over 70 hours of training per employee per year. In addition, we plan nearly 15,000 new hires by 2028 and indirectly support 500,000 jobs through our supply chain.
We support innovation and entrepreneurship
- Innovation will continue to be an essential tool to keep Iberdrola at the forefront of the transformation of the sector, as reflected by our position as the most innovative Spanish utility and the third most innovative in the world. In 2025, we allocated more than €425 million to our R&D&I activities and the company will continue to increase its investment in the coming years.
We take care of the environment and we are committed to energy efficiency
- Iberdrola's emissions have been reduced to just 38 gCO2/kWh in Europe, five times lower than the average of European competitors, and 60 gCO2/kWh globally by the end of 2025. Iberdrola achieved the highest score in the "Dow Jones Best-in-Class Index" within the global utilities sector. Additionally, in 2025, the Company marked 26 consecutive years in the "Dow Jones Sustainability Index," being the only European utility to have remained in this international benchmark for sustainability throughout that time.
We are strengthening our pull effect with suppliers
- Iberdrola implements a responsible supply chain management policy, sharing best practices for sustainability with all its trading partners.
We offer products adapted to the needs of our customers
- Commitment to our customers, the more than 100 million people we supply with energy around the world, is evident in the safe, high-quality supply that we offer through increasingly efficient equipment and technologies, together with the best and most innovative energy solutions that we put at their disposal, driven by the intense digital transformation of the company.
We are committed to society, training and research
- The group's foundations implement programmes in the fields of training and research, conservation of biodiversity, promotion of art and culture, and cooperation.
