Contribution to the 2030 agenda
Sustainable Development Goals
Endesa is committed to the 2030 agenda through our specific contribution to 6 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
On 25 September 2015, the United Nations approved the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development so that countries and their societies could solve the critical problems facing mankind together. The Agenda has 17 Goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030.
At Endesa we are firmly committed to this agenda, which we contributed to drawing up. We recognise the historic opportunity represented by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the importance of the involvement of the private sector in overcoming the major challenges faced by society, from combating climate change to eradicating poverty and ensuring economic and social progress.

These five are our top priority SDGs and therefore those on which we place the greatest emphasis, but we are also acting decisively on others of the 17 SDGs, for which we have set targets and reported on since their appearance. To do this, the Endesa 2020-2022 Sustainability Plan lays out the roadmap for the next three years for contributing to the 2030 Agenda , thereby aligning our sustainability strategy with this universal framework.
The 2019 Sustainability Report shows in detail our contributions that year to each of the sustainable development objectives on which we act through our business activities.
