24/06/2025 - 11:34 UTC +02:00Iberdrola, the Spanish company with the best corporate governance according to World Finance Iberdrola has been selected for again this year as the company with the best corporate governance practices in Spain according to the British publication World Finance, a leading expert in analysis of finance, international business and the world economy. World Finance’s Corporate Governance Awards recognise companies with the strongest governance models in each country that demonstrate their commitment to transparency and accountability, creating a better society and helping to address the biggest problems facing the world today. Leadership in corporate governance is one of Iberdrola's hallmarks, which has accompanied the business model initiated 25 years ago with which the electricity company has become the leading company in the industry in Europe and one of only two private utilities in the world with a market capitalisation of more than €100B. An international benchmark for transparency and engagement This evolution has also elevated Iberdrola to the category of international benchmark in good governance, backed by multiple national and international awards for its governance model and its commitment to ethical principles. Iberdrola's Governance and Sustainability System incorporates best practices with innovative and pioneering initiatives such as those developed under the framework of the permanent shareholder engagement policy. Coinciding with the tenth anniversary of this policy, the company has opened a new engagement space on the corporate website and, in addition to the customary institutional roadshow, has organised a round of meetings with its minority shareholders to maximise transparency and active listening to its shareholder base. The result of this ongoing involvement is the massive level of shareholder participation at the General Meeting, which was just held this year with a quorum of more than three quarters of the share capital and support for all the proposals of the Board of Directors exceeding 99% of the total votes in favour and against This ongoing engagement has resulted in massive shareholder participation in the General Meeting, which was held earlier this year with a quorum of more than three-quarters of the share capital and support for all of the Board of Directors' proposals of over 99% of the total votes cast. Thanks to direct knowledge of the expectations of its stakeholders, Iberdrola's corporate reports go beyond legal requirements and good governance recommendations. This is evidenced by the launch of the sustainability report 15 years before it became mandatory in Spain, of the tax transparency report that reflects Iberdrola España's commitment to best tax practices for the benefit of the entire company, and of the latest annual corporate governance report prepared in open format, which expands the description of the activities of the Board of Directors and its committees and incorporates new content on ethics and compliance, among others. The highest ethical standards Iberdrola's Governance and Sustainability System is inspired by and based on a commitment to ethical principles, transparency, and leadership in the application of international best practices. To implement the highest ethical standards established in its Governance and Sustainability System, the company has established a Compliance System that seeks to ensure that it acts in accordance with ethical principles and applicable law and to prevent any irregular conduct of any kind. Iberdrola has published its compliance system transparency report this year like those in the past, being the first Ibex 35 company to undertake work of this nature. It represents another step in the company's commitment to the implementation and continuous improvement of a robust corporate culture and reaffirms a business model that respects the rights of customers, employees, shareholders, and all of its stakeholders in general.

17/06/2025 - 16:19 UTC +02:00Iberdrola España and FCC open EnergyLOOP, the first wind turbine blade recycling plant on the Iberian Peninsula Iberdrola España , the Group's subsidiary in the country, and FCC Ámbito have inaugurated EnergyLOOP in Navarra, in northern Spain, the first plant specifically dedicated to recycling wind turbine blades on the Iberian Peninsula. This facility will recycle components from renewable facilities, one of the biggest medium- and long-term challenges facing the industry. The recycling plant was created to recover the components of wind turbine blades and reuse them in industries such as energy, aerospace, automotive, textiles, chemical and construction, which contributes to the transformation of the wind industry into a truly circular economy through investment in comprehensive recycling solutions for blades. An estimated 5,700 wind turbines per year will be dismantled in Europe by 2030 from repowering wind farms or from facilities reaching the end of their useful life. The plant, sponsored by Iberdrola through its PERSEO programme, has involved an investment of around €10M and will also contribute to the creation of an innovative and dynamic value chain.

12/06/2025 - 16:09 UTC +02:00Ignacio Galán affirms that energy security equals national security The Executive Chairman of Iberdrola, Ignacio Galán , today participated in the Global Trends 2025 Forum organised by the US Chamber of Commerce in Spain. During his speech, Galán stressed that electrification is the fundamental pillar to guarantee strategic autonomy, industrial competitiveness and environmental sustainability Galán observed that the global demand for electricity will double in the next 15 years, thanks to new technological advances which make electrification an unstoppable process: from transport, air conditioning of buildings, to digitalisation, data processing or artificial intelligence, all of today's great inventions are based on electricity. In addition, in an increasingly automated and digitized world, having electricity is the primary requirement for accessing all our day-to-day services, since, according to the Executive Chairman, "energy security equals national security". The Executive Chairman indicated that it is essential to have a robust energy system that is not dependent on external sources and that is equipped with grid infrastructure capable of meeting this growing consumption with full reliability, emphasising that electrification must be built with indigenous energies to be competitive. He also called for urgency in strengthening electricity infrastructure, and for a regulatory framework that facilitates investments. "The EU has indicated that it needs 1.2 trillion euros in networks, and this requires attractive returns, faster permitting and minimised litigation," he said. During his participation, Galán stressed that in order to attract these investments it is essential to have stable energy policies. He recalled that investments in energy infrastructure have maturation horizons of between 40 and 60 years, so companies need a clear and predictable regulatory framework that allows them to access capital in the financial markets. In addition, he advocated attractive profitability and rationalisation of taxation. On the other hand, he called for a reduction in administrative bureaucracy, which in many cases delays projects for years that could be built in just over a year. He also called for the elimination of asymmetric tax regimes that favour gas and oil over electricity, and advocated encouraging investment in networks and storage, especially in countries such as Spain where there are regulatory limits on investment in distribution networks. The Executive Chairman noted that Iberdrola has been leading this transformation for more than two decades, with investments of more than 170,000 million euros in smart grids, renewables and storage, and with a presence in more than 30 countries. Iberdrola's market capitalisation exceeds 100,000 million euros, making it the leading utility in Europe and one of the two largest in the world. READ MORE
