Contribution to the 2030 agenda
Sustainable Development Goals
Endesa is committed to the 2030 agenda through our specific contribution to seven of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
On 25 September 2015, the UN approved the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development so that countries and their societies could make progress towards the construction of a more sustainable world that leaves no one behind.
Everyone must play their part if this is to be achieved. In this regard, at Endesa we aim to be an active agent of that transformative vision towards sustainability. Since announcing our specific contribution to the 2030 Agenda in 2016, we have continued to make progress in our commitment to goal 13 on climate action, in addition to contributing with concrete actions to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 9 (Industry, innovation, and infrastructure), and 11 (Sustainable communities and cities).
Contribution to the SDGs
Direct contribution
Sustainable development goals
decarbonisation of the energy mix by 2040.
- The reduction of scope 1 CO2eq emissions compared to 2017 is expected to be around 80% by 2030, and 100% by 2040.
- Reduction of scope 1 and 3 specific emissions, linked to the marketing of electricity (generation and purchase of electricity for third parties). By 2030, there will be an 80% decrease from 2017 levels, with a complete elimination by 2040.
- Reduction of scope 3 emissions resulting from the sale of gas to end customers. There will be a reduction of over 50% by 2030 compared to 2017, with a goal of achieving 100% reduction by the year 2040.
Our actions and objectives
- An investment of over 800 million euros is planned for the period 2024-2026 in quality, resilience, and digitalisation of distribution assets.
- Promotion of clean electrification so that around 90% of the energy sold to customers at a fixed price comes from non-emitting sources by 2026.
- Investment of 4.3 billion euros for the development of renewable power, incorporating a new model of external partnerships to increase profitability and flexibility in capital allocation.
- Objective of 13,900 MW of renewable power in 2026, reaching 93% of emission-free production in the Iberian Peninsula.
Indirect contribution
Sustainable development goals
Our actions and objectives
- Reach 310,000 beneficiaries per year in education, energy access and employment and economic growth in the period 2024-2026.
- Leading the challenge of decarbonisation through alliances that enable the change of model.
However, we also take decisive action in relation to all SDGs, and have set targets and reported on them since they were introduced. To this end, ENDESA's 2022-2024 Sustainability Plan sets out the roadmap for the coming 3 years for contributing to the 2030 Agenda, thus bringing its sustainability strategy in line with this universal framework.
