For the development of our communities
EDP actively contributes to the sustainable development of the communities in which it operates worldwide, through its own social investment and collaborative initiatives, donations and volunteering. As social impact is a strategic pillar of the EDP group, these initiatives aim to meet social needs in line with the group's core themes.
Countries with social investment by EDP Group in 2023
In 2022, the EDP Y.E.S - You Empower Society brand was created, whose main objective is to communicate to the various stakeholders of the EDP group the social investment projects developed in the countries where EDP is present. The projects are classified into five main Pillars: Energy, Planet, Skills, Culture and Community, which are framed within the thematic focuses of EDP's social investment strategy.

Decarbonising, leaving nobody behind
With the main focus on a Just Energy Transition, we will invest in initiatives targeting the fight against energy poverty, promoting the access to energy and energy efficiency, and implementing solutions for access to solar energy or electrical mobility. A target where we are investing more than 300 million euros until 2030 via our new global social investment programme.
How do we measure our investment in the community?
We use the international method B4SI - Business for Societal Impact - to evaluate our voluntary investment in the community.
EDP Foundations
We are committed to changing tomorrow now.
Together with non-profit institutions, we aim to create a positive impact on communities and society.
Respect Human Rights at all times
The EDP Group's Human Rights Policy implements the Due Diligence management system in line with the UN Guiding Principles, the OECD frameworks and the ILO conventions. We set up internal responsibilities, procedures and organizational structures.
For this reason, we set up a Human and Labor Rights Policy and we report our risks and achievements.
The scope of Human Rights respect includes EDP own workforce, local communities, suppliers and customers. We pay special attention to vulnerable people, energy poverty, to employment, just transition and access to energy. We implement Human Rights Due Diligence to all our direct suppliers, cooperating with industry level initiatives to assure that indirect suppliers comply with human rights.
Building the future as a team
We believe that success is only possible with alignment between the company,stakeholders, employees, but also suppliers and customers. therefore, we govern ourperformance based on the belief that:
-We are responsible for the communities and seek a just transition
-We arefocused on customer services such as energy efficiency, mobility,and decentralisedenergy
-We are responsible for our employees and suppliers
Changing the tomorrow, today is a mission that needs all of us.
The importance of a fair transition
As we have made the commitment to be Coal Free by 2025, we have assumed the responsibility to work with governments and local authorities to promote the Just Transition in the affected regions. Decarbonisation cannot leave anyone behind and so we have drawn up plans to minimise the negative repercussions on local employment.
We help decarbonise our customers' consumption
We work continuously with society and our customers, raising awareness and promotingservices that contribute to the reduction of emissions and energy efficiency. Therefore, in aliberalised and regulated market, we have a diversified offer of products and services thatwill help us change, tomorrow, today.
