In 2016, Iberdrola was the first IBEX 35 company -and the first electricity company among the ten largest in the world- to obtain ISO 20121 certification to accredit the sustainable management of our General Shareholders' Meeting. Four years later, we were once again pioneers among IBEX 35 companies in extending the scope of our most important corporate events for shareholders and the financial community under the same management system: Results Presentations, Capital Markets & ESG Day and the General Shareholders' Meeting.
Iberdrola Group has completely integrated the conservation of the biological diversity of ecosystems into its strategy. An exhaustive environmental plan is therefore drawn up for all projects for new facilities in order to minimize their impact on flora and fauna. This is reflected in the 2022 Biodiversity Report, which lists the specific actions taken by the company to protect and conserve biodiversity at some of its flagship projects.

New York City (USA) became the epicentre of the climate agenda in September 2019. The city hosted two pivotal events to measure the degree of commitment to global warming. These are the United Nations Climate Action Summit on 23 September and the Climate Week NYC from 23 to 29 September. The next United Nations Conference on climate change (COP25) was held in Chile.
The fight against climate change needs more than just good intentions. Adaptation and mitigation processes, crucial to stopping the planet from deteriorating over the coming decades, requires financing, and this flow of money can come from both private and public sources. The United Nations, though the UNFCCC, is responsible for supervising transfers from developed to developing countries.
