Social commitment

Corporate volunteering is a practice in which companies encourage and facilitate their employees to dedicate part of their time and skills to volunteering activities in the community. Discover the benefits of corporate volunteering and how we use it at Iberdrola.

The second International Volunteer Awards was held this year 2024 at Scottish Power's headquarters in Glasgow. This event is part of International Volunteer Week, which we celebrate at the same time in the main countries where we do business.

The Iberdrola Group's International Corporate Volunteering Program was created to channel our employees' spirit of solidarity and to encourage their participation in social projects aimed at integrating vulnerable groups into society, improving the environment and sustainable development.

Like any activity, sport suffers the consequences of climate change, such as high temperatures and pollution. With a more sustainable horizon as a goal, Nike and Iberdrola have had an agreement since 2016 for the long-term purchase and sale of clean energy (PPA). The aim is to reduce the sports brand's carbon footprint and demonstrate the role of large companies in the fight against climate change.

Companies and communities need help in translating government decarbonization goals into actions. ScottishPower’s Zero Carbon Communities initiative aims to do just that.
