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.

Sustainability is part of EDP’s DNA.
