Respect for the environment, a differentiating value
Nature Renewable energy Energy efficiency
The Iberdrola group is fully committed to eco-efficiency thanks to its sustainable use of natural resources, efficiency in the production and use of energy, emissions reductions, protection of biodiversity and waste and water management.
The business model defined by the Iberdrola group aims to supply reliable, high quality and environmentally friendly electricity through a long-term sustainable industrial project.
Iberdrola is facing the immediate future in a scenario characterised by sharp growth in the global demand for energy from efficient, clean sources to cut global emissions and combat climate change. To this end, it has reinforced its commitment to sustainability, consolidating itself as one of the European electricity companies most committed to the environment.
Respect for the environment is one of our values and its stewardship is embodied through the corporate policies of sustainable development. This work is backed by various awards, including: firstly, the European Environment Award 2018, for our innovative environmental management system, which includes the calculation of our Corporate Environmental Footprint and integrates the Sustainable Development Goals. Secondly, the Energy Institute Award 2021 in the Environment category, for our work to protect nature during the construction of the East Anglia ONE offshore wind farm in the United Kingdom. And thirdly, the Premio Andalucía de Medio Ambiente 2021 (Andalusia Environment Award 2021) in the Climate Change category, in recognition of our firm commitment to renewable energies and the sustainable development of the community.
Iberdrola also gives two environment-related awards: the Iberdrola CONVIVE Awards and the Rei Jaume I Awards
