Sustainability

We work for a more sustainable future.

More than a simple goal, continuing to grow while meeting the challenges of sustainable development is a pledge we made to our stakeholders.

We want to continue to be leaders in environmental business management, implementing the best practices and investing in renewable energy. We are committed to the environment and to creating social value and contributing to citizenship and the quality of life of populations. We aim to bring value to our clients, suppliers and other stakeholders.

We are an energy that works towards sustainable development and sustainable lives. So, EDP has set concrete goals for more than half of the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), setting very clear goals for its performance.

Now or Never.

We are in the Leadership of the Energy Transition

Combating climate change is a commitment. We want to decouple our production. We want to help decarbonize our customers' consumption.

We want to help change the world by 2030

Having a more sustainable planet is teamwork. To do this, each of us has to change habits first. Shall we change the world together? Now or never.
