Sustainability

The United Nations (UN) organised its 28th Conference of the Parties –better known as COP– on climate change on 2023, held between 30 November and 12 December in the United Arab Emirates.

The Sustainability assessment is a tool for evaluating the group's sustainability performance by analysing its economic, environmental and social dimensions, and is used to determine which aspects require improvement throughout the group as a whole. The assessment serves to measure the quality of the sustainable strategy pursued.

The environment is facing various threats such as global warming, loss of biodiversity and desertification. Faced with these risks, the United Nations (UN) organises different meetings with the aim of seeking international collaboration. These are known as COPs. We tell you what they are, what types there are and what their history is.

Many countries are dependent on fossil fuel imports to meet domestic energy demand. Achieving energy independence, as well as more sustainable production, has become a priority goal for many governments, but what are energy self-sufficiency and energy security and what do they entail?

The areas where Iberdrola operates are also home to numerous wild animals and plants, some of which are officially protected.

In the Iberdrola Group, we manage aspects related to biodiversity through four priority lines of action: protect, study, and preserve, raise awareness and inform, and collaborate with stakeholders.

Iberdrola Group is committed to protect the biodiversity of the ecosystems, landscapes and species where it operates, and to raise awareness amongst society about the importance of this issue and the actions that can help to preserve it.

The efficient management of water resources has become vital for the health of our planet. Iberdrola Group makes every effort to use water rationally and sustainably and tackle the risks related with its scarcity.
