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.

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.
To guarantee sustainability, efficiency and competitiveness Iberdrola is committed to innovation as the Company's strategic goal and its main tool. The aim of the Group's work in R&D is to optimise operating conditions, improve safety and reduce its environmental impact.

This commitment to ethics and good governance - which is also conveyed to the third parties that work with the Group in its various initiatives - includes a firm undertaking not to accept any corrupt, fraudulent or illegal practices or actions that run contrary to Iberdrola's policies and principles in the area of corporate social responsibility.
