 Indexes of Sustainability

Iberdrola is dedicated to creating sustainable value for all its stakeholders and for the communities in which it operates. Its commitment to sustainability has made the Company a reference in ratings such as the Dow Jones Sustainability Index, the FTSE4Good and the Climate Disclosure Leadership Index. Sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness are the factors that have made Iberdrola the number one electricity utility in the 2016 Dow Jones Sustainability index and the only energy company present in the 17 editions so far.

The Group has transformed its business model to make it more sustainable, and directed its development to satisfying the needs of the present without compromising the capacity of future generations to meet their own requirements. The company aims to continue spearheading this transformation by offering ever more competitive energy products, with the lowest possible environmental impact so it can guarantee its customers a reliable and quality supply. In addition, Iberdrola contributes to the economic and social development of the communities where it operates through its business activities and the exercise of its social responsibility, with measures aimed at promoting education and culture, and protecting vulnerable groups.
