Iberdrola triumphs at the Capital Markets Data (CMD) awards

Iberdrola has been recognised as an international benchmark in debt capital markets, winning two awards at the Capital Market Data Institute Awards: Best Sustainable Corporate Issuer and Best Investor Relations Team.

The awards highlight Iberdrola's good practices over the last year. CMD stated that the company has combined highly significant financial operations with a proactive investor relations strategy, setting a new standard in the industry. ‘Its transparent investor relations framework includes a broad global presence through roadshows, conferences, seminars, topic-based websites and facility visits, reinforcing market confidence among a 'broad' investor base’, explains CMD.

The award recognises the company's leadership in the industry through various green and innovative transactions in different formats, currencies and markets, consistently attracting strong demand and oversubscription. CMD based its decision on the scale, consistency and sophistication of our sustainable financing, as well as the wide variety of bonds issued.

CMD has also decided to give the hybrid bond issued by Iberdrola last October the TopDeal label. This is awarded quarterly to the best transactions in the period, based on various factors, such as the degree of innovation or the success in investor demand. In the case of Iberdrola, the TopDeal was awarded because it is the first hybrid bond to be certified under the European Union Green Bond Standard.

In recent years, the company has diversified its financing across markets and currencies, as well as instruments, while also extending its debt maturities. This financing activity highlights the pioneering nature of the Group’s Finance and Treasury management and its Investor Relations team.

Iberdrola has also innovated by seeking out different instruments, such as ECAs (export credit agencies), multilateral institutions (World Bank-IFC, European Investment Bank, etc.) and development banks (JICA, BNDES, BnB, ICO, Cassa Despossitti).

Thanks to this strategy, Europe's largest electricity company by market capitalisation has secured more than €16B in financing through 51 transactions in 2025 to accelerate its strategic plan of €58B in investments through 2028.
