Sustainability

More than a mere goal, continuing to grow and to tackle the challenges of sustainable development is a promise we make to our stakeholders.

We want to remain leaders in the field of business environmental management by implementing the best practices and investing in renewable energy. We are committed to the environment, the creation of social value for citizenship, and the quality of life of the communities in the regions where we operate. Our goal is to add value to our customers, suppliers, and other stakeholders.

We are a company that works for sustainable development and sustainable lives. To achieve this, EDP has set out concrete goals for more than half of the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with very clear objectives for the company's performance.
