Iberdrola brand policy
25 March 2025
The Board of Directors of IBERDROLA, S.A. (the “Company”) has the power to design, assess and continuously revise the Company’s Governance and Sustainability System, and specifically to approve and update policies, which contain the guidelines governing the conduct of the Company, and furthermore, to the extent applicable, inform the policies that the companies belonging to the group of which the Company is the controlling entity, within the meaning established by law (the “Group”), decide to approve in the exercise of their autonomy.
In exercising these powers, within the framework of legal regulations, the By-Laws and the Purpose and Values of the Iberdrola Group, as well as in accordance with the Company’s sustainable development strategy, the Board of Directors hereby approves this Iberdrola Brand Policy (the “Policy”), which respects, further develops and adapts the Ethical and Basic Principles of Governance and Sustainability of the Iberdrola Group with respect to the Company.
1. Scope of Application
This Policy applies to the Company and to those other companies that make up the Group and to foundations linked thereto to which the Company has licensed the use of the Iberdrola brand.
Without prejudice to the provisions of the preceding paragraph, this Policy includes basic principles that, in the area of the Iberdrola brand, complement those contained in the Ethical and Basic Principles of Governance and Sustainability of the Iberdrola Group and, to this extent, must inform the conduct and standards-setting implemented by the other companies of the Group in this area in the exercise of their powers and in accordance with their autonomy.
To the extent that listed country subholding companies form part of the Group, they and their subsidiaries, under their own special framework of enhanced autonomy, may establish principles and rules relating to their distinctive brand that must have content consistent with the principles of this Policy.
2. Purpose
This Policy is intended to protect and contribute to the value of the Iberdrola brand and to establish certain main principles of conduct allowing all of the companies belonging to the Group to use it as a springboard that contributes to enhance their reputation and to the success of their businesses.
3. The Iberdrola Brand
The Iberdrola Brand belongs to the Company and constitutes one of its strategic assets, both financially and in the social, environmental and corporate governance dimensions: it is a hallmark of identity of the Company and of the Group and the principal symbol of the Purpose and Values of the Iberdrola Group.
As a hallmark of identity, the Iberdrola brand is a key element in the corporate strategy of the Company and of the other companies of the Group. As the symbol of the Purpose and Values of the Iberdrola Group, it is a springboard for the sustainable creation of value that can be used by all of the companies of the Group to contribute to the success of its businesses.
It must be ensured that the Iberdrola brand is associated with the principles set out in the Purpose and Values of the Iberdrola Group and in the Ethical and Basic Principles of Governance and Sustainability of the Iberdrola Group, and thus with its link to the maximisation of its social dividend and the sustainable creation of value, as well as to the improvement of quality of life of the people in the communities in which it does business, the safety of people and of supply, care for and protection of the environment, and customer focus.
The Iberdrola brand also contributes to the Company’s cooperative interaction with its shareholders, as well as to fostering engagement in corporate life by its shareholders and other Stakeholders and to strengthening their identification with the Company. Similarly, it helps to align the interests of shareholders and other Stakeholders with those of the Company.
The use of the Iberdrola brand also favours the business activities of the companies of the Group, as well as their relations with their respective Stakeholders generally.
4. Use of the Brand
The Company may license the use of the Iberdrola brand to the other companies of the Group and to the foundations linked thereto.
The licensees shall be required to comply with the provisions of this Policy and any corresponding brand licensing agreement implementing the terms and conditions for using the Iberdrola brand.
They shall also be required to use the Iberdrola brand in the same manner and in accordance with the standards of the Iberdrola Brand Usage Guide in effect from time to time, as well as with the quality control clauses established in the brand licensing agreement. Any use of the Iberdrola brand that differs from the provisions of the aforementioned guide must be authorised in advance pursuant to the provisions thereof.
The Company may receive remuneration for the use of the brand, and particularly as consideration for receiving the benefits arising from the use thereof, upon the terms and conditions agreed in the corresponding license agreement.
The Iberdrola brand may form part of the trade names and distinctive signs used by the companies of the Group in carrying on their businesses and by the foundations linked thereto in the course of their activities.
Licensees shall endeavour to ensure that the use of the brand does not cause confusion regarding their own identity and independence. For these purposes, except in those situations allowed by the Iberdrola Brand Usage Guide, all of the companies of the Group (other than the Company itself), as well as entities in the nature of foundations linked thereto, that use the Iberdrola brand, shall use it together with their own distinctive name.
The use of the Iberdrola brand by the Company and by the licenses in carrying on their businesses and in activities with third parties, through sponsorship or other legal agreements, must be aimed at strengthening its value, maintaining the reputation of the Group’s companies, and favouring the businesses of the companies making up the Group.
The listed country subholding companies and the subsidiaries thereof must in any case use a different corporate name and brand that contributes to the differentiation thereof as autonomous entities belonging to the Group. In such instances, ownership of the relevant brand shall be held by each listed country subholding company.
5. Ceasing Use of the Brand
The companies of the Group shall cease to use the Iberdrola brand, including the use thereof in their own trade name or corporate name, in accordance with the provisions of any corresponding licence agreement, and in any event if such use might put at risk the reputation of the Group’s companies or when the company no longer belongs to the Group. In this latter event, when there are circumstances that so warrant, the Company may authorise companies that no longer belong to the Group to use the Iberdrola brand on a temporary basis. The same principles shall apply to entities in the nature of foundations linked to the Group in the event that they no longer have said connection.
6. Protection of the Brand
The companies of the Group shall take the actions needed to protect and contribute to the value of the Iberdrola brand, seeking effective protection of the Company’s rights thereto throughout the world and in all areas in which they are or expect to be present, particularly including the internet and social networks.
The companies of the Group and entities in the nature of foundations linked thereto may not directly or through third parties apply for and/or register trademarks, trade names, domain names, social profiles or any other distinctive mark that is identical or similar to the Iberdrola brand without the prior approval of the Company.
7. Implementation and Monitoring
For the implementation and monitoring of the provisions of this Policy regarding the impact that the use of the Iberdrola brand might have on corporate reputation, the Board of Directors is assisted by the Corporate Sustainability Division (or such division as assumes the powers thereof at any time). As regards the proper use of the Iberdrola brand in the conduct of business, each country subholding company shall be responsible for ensuring proper compliance with this Policy in the corresponding licence agreements for use of the Iberdrola brand.
