Iberdrola holds its Shareholders’ Day in Bilbao with the participation of Ignacio Galán

Iberdrola’s Chairman, Ignacio Galán, participated today in the Shareholders’ Day held at Torre Iberdrola in Bilbao, which saw nearly a thousand attendees. As in previous years, the event precedes the General Shareholders’ Meeting 2025, which is scheduled for 30th May in Bilbao.

At the event, the Chairman was joined by Asís Canales, Director of Resources and Services for the Iberdrola Group and Company Delegate in the Basque Country. During the event, shareholders had the opportunity to learn, from members of the management team, about the main activities of Iberdrola’s businesses and the various initiatives the group is undertaking to promote employment, economic activity, innovation, and social action.

The meeting also reaffirmed the company’s commitment to creating value for society, highlighting the 15% increase in the dividend for shareholders, which will rise to €0.635 per share for the 2024 fiscal year. An additional €0.005 per share will be added if the quorum at the General Meeting reaches 70%. Since the beginning of 2024, Iberdrola’s shares have appreciated, reaching a market value of €100 billion, solidifying its position as the largest utility company in Europe and one of the two largest in the world.

The Shareholders’ Day is one of the initiatives the company has launched throughout the year to engage with shareholders.

Tenth Anniversary of the Engagement Policy

This year, Iberdrola’s shareholder engagement policy celebrates its 10th anniversary. In 2015, the company’s Board of Directors approved this strategy, which is outlined in the company’s Articles of Association and is primarily focused on its thousands of investors. Iberdrola is celebrating this anniversary with a new engagement space for its shareholders.

The company, led by Ignacio Galán, was a pioneer in introducing this strategy into its management, which seeks to facilitate shareholder participation in its business project by promoting transparency, active listening, and the effective dissemination of its activities throughout the year, engaging with shareholders not only during the General Meeting.

Iberdrola shareholders can participate in the General Meeting through a wide range of channels, provided they have at least one share registered since 23rd May.

Moreover, the company makes information available to its shareholders continuously and promotes their ongoing engagement throughout the year through the Shareholder Office and an interactive app for members of the OLA Shareholder Club.
