Iberdrola becomes the world's first electricity company certified for its management of psychological and emotional wellbeing

Iberdrola has become the world's first electricity company to achieve ISO 45003 certification, the international standard that provides guidelines for managing psychological health and safety at work. The certification was awarded following an independent assessment by LRQA, one of the world's leading certification, inspection and assurance providers.

Designed to complement ISO 45001, the international benchmark for occupational health and safety management systems, ISO 45003 promotes safe and healthy workplaces by addressing psychological and emotional wellbeing alongside physical safety. It covers areas such as stress management, workload, organisational culture and work-life balance.

With this certification, awarded following an independent audit and assessment, Iberdrola ranks among the world's most advanced companies in the management of psycho-emotional wellbeing by integrating people's psychological health and safety into a global, structured system that has been externally assessed.

Awarded following a rigorous independent audit, the certification places Iberdrola among the world's leading organisations in the management of psychological and emotional wellbeing by integrating psychological health and safety into a comprehensive, structured and externally verified management system.

At a time when organisations are placing increasing emphasis on mental health, the certification recognises Iberdrola's systematic and preventive approach, aligned with international best practice.

The certification process, which was implemented across the Group and involved close collaboration between multiple business areas and teams, strengthens Iberdrola's psychosocial wellbeing management model and reinforces its position as a leader in responsible people management, placing emotional wellbeing on an equal footing with physical health and safety.

Achieving ISO 45003 certification forms part of Iberdrola's ongoing commitment to protecting the health, safety and wellbeing of its employees worldwide. It also reflects the principles set out in the company's Occupational Health and Safety Policy and its Sustainable Human Capital Management and Harassment Prevention Policy.
