Iberdrola has been chosen as one of the 10 most impactful companies in the world by Richmond Global Sciences (RGS), a global technology firm that enables investors and companies to integrate an impact perspective into their decision making. RGS determined this through its new platform that offers impact data based on artificial intelligence and portfolio analysis on environmental, social and financial aspects.

The electricity company chaired by Ignacio Galán has been chosen as one of the most outstanding listed companies in the world in terms of its environmental, labour and customer impact.  

RGS has partnered with the International Foundation For Valuing Impacts (IFVI), an independent non-profit organisation that is developing and expanding the practice of impact accounting. The mission is to analyse the unquantified costs and benefits that companies have on the environment and society.

Iberdrola is a global bellwether and is on the main international sustainability indices, which include, in addition to those mentioned above, Moody's ESG, MSCI, Sustainalytics, ISS-ESG, Bloomberg GEI, EcoVadis, and FTSE4Good, among many others.

Iberdrola aims to achieve emissions neutrality in its generation, electricity distribution and own consumption plants by 2030 (scopes 1 and 2) and to achieve net zero emissions in all its activities by 2040.

Iberdrola has been included for yet another year in one of the most prestigious indices on climate change in the world, CDP Climate Change, with the maximum score. Iberdrola is one of a small number of companies that earned an "A" rating out of more than 23,000 companies analysed.

For its part, the Fitch Sustainable rating agency gave Iberdrola a 'Green' rating, the highest in green transition. According to the agency's assessment, the company has a credible transition plan and has already oriented a large part of its business model towards "greener" activities.

Leading in sustainability

Iberdrola has incorporated the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), defined by the United Nations for the 2030 horizon, into its business strategy and sustainability policy, and is a role model for its direct contribution to the global goals, especially its contributions in the field of energy and climate change.

The company focuses its efforts on the provision of affordable and clean energy (goal 7) and climate action (goal 13), while contributing directly to ensuring clean water and sanitation (goal 6), has increased its investment in R&D&I activities (goal 9), promotes respect for the life of land ecosystems (goal 15) and works to build partnerships to achieve the goals (goal 17).
