Training

At Iberdrola we attach great importance to our suppliers’ sustainable practices, and SMEs are fundamental to this commitment. Find out about all our initiatives to strengthen the sustainability of the small and medium-sized companies we work with.

We offer tools that help small and medium-sized enterprises play a full and active role in the energy transition.


In recent years, Iberdrola has developed an innovative strategy to support the creation and consolidation of new sustainable, transparent, and ethical business projects. It has strengthened its commitment to SME suppliers through various initiatives that seek to improve the profile of small and medium-sized companies as drivers of sustainable development, among other objectives. Some of these initiatives are presented below.

  • Iberdrola has taken part in the third edition of the project Training Programme: Sustainable Suppliers, a free and exclusive initiative aimed at professionals from its SME suppliers. The programme has been jointly developed by the UN Global Compact in Spain and the United Kingdom, ICEX Spain Trade and Investment and the ICO Foundation.

    This latest edition began on 12 March 2025, offering Iberdrola’s SME suppliers around the world an excellent opportunity to expand their knowledge, align with best practices in sustainability and strengthen their competitiveness.

    Following the programme’s conclusion on 28 October 2025, a very positive final assessment was made for Iberdrola’s SME suppliers: of the more than one thousand suppliers initially registered, a total of 442 from 17 different countries successfully completed the training, thereby improving their sustainability capabilities. In addition, the level of satisfaction was remarkable, as more than 90% of participants considered the training useful for their company, reflecting the trust and effectiveness of this initiative.

    With the excellent results achieved in this edition, together with those of the previous two, more than 800 Iberdrola SME suppliers have now received training through the programme.

    Iberdrola will renew its collaboration with the UN Global Compact in Spain for the upcoming ninth edition, which will begin in March 2026. If you are interested in taking part, you can contact us by email at smart.supply@iberdrola.es

  • In collaboration with the UN Global Compact Spain, we offer a pioneering training plan with exclusive content on sustainability and incentives for CEOs and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises.

    In these video sessions, the main trends, opportunities, regulations and practical actions on sustainability are discussed in depth so that CEOs or an SME manager can integrate them into their business. We also included various additional resources to further explore these aspects.
