Sustainable development indices
It's all about the recognition of human rights, of ethical, social and environmental issues, and of customers in their business strategy.
Profitability is therefore achieved not only for the shareholder, but for other stakeholders and society as well.
Sustainability indices are an important tool for the EDP group because they allow us to quantify the company's sustainability performance and contribute to the continuous improvement of our operations, namely by adapting the latter to market trends.
We are focused on success
Monitored in various activity areas, our performance has been widely recognized by the Sustainability and Corporate Social Responsibility indices where EDP is included.
Stakeholders Report 2018
About the relationship between the EDP Group and its stakeholders, the external consultation process was carried out in 2018. In this report, we present the results of this study.
EDP Stakeholder Engagement Procedures
These Procedures establish minimum requirements to connect with external stakeholders on all Business Units fully owned by EDP Group.
Strategic Vision
The management of Stakeholders is a demanding exercise in sharing and transparency for companies in their relationship with society and, in particular, with the entities that affect or are affected by its operations.
To listen, understand and work with our Stakeholders through a dynamic process that creates shared value allows us to anticipate challenges, minimize business risks and create new relationship opportunities.
The involvement of Stakeholders in governance models is therefore more than an example of good business practice: it is a competitive lever with a positive impact on the EDP group’s performance.
