31.05.2024Iberdrola among America's Climate Leaders by USA Today
Iberdrola, through its US subsidiary Avangrid, has been included on USA Today's America's Climate Leaders 2024 list. For the second consecutive year, Avangrid has been recognised by this list, which includes the top 450 companies in the United States that have achieved the greatest reduction in their primary emissions intensity (Scopes 1 and 2) between 2020 and 2022.
‘Decarbonisation is the only way to combat climate change and we must act together’, said Ignacio Galán, Executive Chairman of the Iberdrola Group and Chairman of Avangrid. ‘The Iberdrola Group has been leading the transition to a clean and equitable energy future for nearly a quarter of a century and we are proud of the impact we have had around the world. In the United States, Avangrid is setting the standard for clean energy transformation through actions such as pioneering the offshore wind industry and strengthening the electric grid to increase reliability. This recognition from USA Today is a testament to its commitment and dedication to building a cleaner planet’.
Avangrid has a firm commitment to achieve carbon neutrality in Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2030, aligned with Iberdrola's emissions targets, which are certified by the Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
