Iberdrola: among the 25 most sustainable utilities in the world / entre las 25 ‘utilities’ mundiales más sostenibles

Posted on January 21, 2022August 16, 2022 by info

Iberdrola has been selected as one of the most sustainable utilities worldwide, according to the Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World index, published annually by Corporate Knights.

Iberdrola ha resultado seleccionada como una de las utilities más sostenibles a nivel mundial, según publica el índice Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World, que anualmente elabora la publicación Corporate Knights.

The company, chaired by Ignacio Galán, is also one of the top 25 companies in the world and the first in Spain in this ranking. 

The Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking recognizes sustainability performance and has been proven to increase investor confidence. The companies that make up the Global 100 index have outperformed the MSCI ACWI benchmark index on average since its inception a couple of decades ago.

A total of 8,000 listed companies with revenues of more than US$1 billion were analyzed to compile the ranking of the 100 most sustainable companies in the world, excluding those that operate with coal, hinder climate policies and cause extreme deforestation with their activity. Once the selection has been made, Corporate Knights analyzes 24 indicators covering resource management, employees, financial management, green revenues and investments, and performance with suppliers.

The 170-year-old company is not only a pioneer in all these areas, but has also defined concrete plans and investments to continue advancing in the coming years.In terms of carbon levels, with CO2/kWh emissions already two-thirds lower than the European average, the strategy of investing in clean energy and networks will lead Iberdrola to be a “carbon neutral” company in Europe by 2030. Iberdrola, in addition to belonging to the Global 100 index, is also included in the main international sustainability indexes, including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, MSCI, CDP, Sustainalytics, Bloomberg GEI, Euronext Vigeo Eiris indices, EcoVadis, etc.

La compañía que preside Ignacio Galán, se ha situado además como una de las primeras 25 compañías del mundo y la primera del Estado Español en esta clasificación. 

La clasificación en Global 100 de Corporate Knights, es un reconocimiento la labor de sostenibilidad y se ha demostrado que aumenta la confianza de los inversores. Las compañías que conforman el índice Global 100 superan de media al índice de referencia MSCI ACWI desde su creación hace un par de décadas.

Para elaborar el ranking de las 100 empresas más sostenibles del mundo, se analizan un total de 8.000 empresas cotizadas, cuyos ingresos superan los 1.000 millones de dólares, descartándose aquellas que operan con carbón, dificulten las políticas climáticas y provoquen una deforestación extrema con su actividad. Una vez realizada la selección, Corporate Knights analiza 24 indicadores que cubren la gestión de recursos, empleados, gestión financiera, ingresos e inversiones verdes y desempeño con proveedores.

La Compañía que tiene ya 170 años de historia no solo es pionera en todos estos ámbitos, sino que ha definido planes concretos e inversiones para seguir avanzando en los próximos años. En su plan 2020-2025, la compañía prevé inversiones por valor de 75.000 millones de euros, destinados a transición energética a través de más proyectos renovables, redes inteligentes y sistemas de almacenamiento a gran escala, que se situarán en los 150.000 millones a 2030.

En cuanto a los niveles de carbono, con unas emisiones de CO2/kWh que son ya dos tercios inferiores a la media europea, la estrategia de inversión en energía limpia y redes llevará a Iberdrola a ser una compañía “neutra en carbono” en Europa en 2030.

Iberdrola, además de pertenecer al índice Global 100, se suma la presencia del grupo en los principales índices de sostenibilidad internacionales, entre los que figuran Dow Jones Sustainability Index, MSCI, CDP, Sustainalytics, Bloomberg GEI, Euronext Vigeo Eiris indices, EcoVadis, etcétera. 

Contribución a los objetivos de desarrollo sostenible (ODS)

Iberdrola ha incorporado los Objetivos de Desarrollo Sostenible (ODS), definidos por Naciones Unidas para el horizonte 2030, a su estrategia empresarial y a su política de sostenibilidad, y es un referente por su contribución directa a los objetivos globales, destacando sus aportaciones en el campo de la energía y el cambio climático.

La compañía centra sus esfuerzos en el suministro de energía asequible y no contaminante (objetivo 7) y en acción por el clima (objetivo 13), si bien contribuye directamente a asegurar agua limpia y saneamiento (objetivo 6), ha aumentado su inversión en actividades de I+D+i (objetivo 9), promueve el respeto hacia la vida de los ecosistemas terrestres (objetivo 15) y trabaja por establecer alianzas para lograr los objetivos (objetivo 17).
