17 Sustainable Development Goals
In 2015, the United Nations defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). And with these SDGs, a deadline to comply with them: 2030.
These goals aim to end poverty, combat inequality, and prevent climate change through the joint work of governments, businesses, and citizens.
EDP has set concrete goals for more than half of these SDGs, setting very clear goals for their fulfillment.
100% renewable production by 2030
The road to sustainable development requires renewable energies and respect for energy-saving principles - two key concepts within the EDP universe. Thus we want ~85% of our energy production and of our installed capacity to be renewable by 2025.
Carbon neutrality by 2030
Climate change has been accelerating. EDP is determined to reverse this trend. We also mobilize society to tackle climate change by implementing volunteering and awareness-raising initiatives.
30% female employees by 2025
EDP believes that gender equality is the foundation of any prejudice-free society. Therefore, we value the skills of all our employees regardless of their gender. We are committed to becoming an equal opportunity employer and increasing the number of female employees in our company.
