ENDESA is firmly committed to the principles of sustainable development. Therefore, to ensure these principles are adhered to, the company has worked to make sustainability criteria and values an integral part of the way it conducts its business. Unbiased data demonstrate that this approach has allowed it to generate significant value for its business and for the communities in which it is present. ENDESA adheres to the concept of sustainability most widely accepted by experts. The company understands this to be a three-dimensional concept shaping its responsible social, economic and environmental conduct, and that the principles relating to it should be fully and effectively incorporated into values, business mission and vision and decision-making processes.
For this commitment to be real and effective, all companies forming part of the ENDESA business group and all the people who work for them should expressly apply these principles to their remuneration policies and codes of conduct extending to all employees. The same commitment is required of ENDESA's suppliers.
This global concept is clearly reflected in the Seven Commitments to Sustainable Development issued by the company five years ago that form the basis of its sustainability policy. These seven commitments encompass the obligations and responsibilities that ENDESA voluntarily takes on vis-á-vis its customers, shareholders, employees, the communities where it operates, ethical conduct and transparency, technical innovation, energy efficiency and the environment.
