Sustainability projects

Projects for the advancement of local communities

We encourage projects that will bring progress to the local environment of the places in which we operate.

Aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals

 

Sustainable development goals

ODS 4: Quality education

ODS 7: Affordable and clean energy

ODS 8: Decent work and economic growth

ODS 15: Life on land

ODS 17: Partnerships for the goals

The aim of sustainability projects is progress for all, support for the business and generating value for the local community. They are particularly focussed on vulnerable groups (vulnerable families, children and young people, elderly, the unemployed, people with disabilities, new entrepreneurs, etc.). They are managed in partnership with the social representatives of the communities. There are clear, measurable benefits for society, returns for the company and with systematic, transparent accountability suitably communicated to society.

Our sustainability projects and initiatives are implemented in the different territories where we operate and for each of our business areas, and by the Endesa Foundation.

In 2022, we focussed our social action on initiatives for access to energy and social-economic development, since both the social and economic crisis caused by the pandemic, as well as the conflict due to the war in Ukraine and its impact on the energy market, led to high volatility and price escalation that could cause new situations with regard to exclusion.

We continued to maintain our commitment to providing humanitarian support during critical social emergencies such as those caused by the La Palma volcano and the crisis in Ukraine.

In 2022 the 336 social development projects generated more than 1.05 million beneficiaries, a clear demonstration of our commitment to generating shared value around our activities and projects.

We have four categories of sustainability projects and initiatives, all of which are aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Also, in three of these we have a public commitment to achieve from a social standpoint, having established a level of achievement of beneficiaries of these projects in the 2015-2030 period (Access to Energy, Social-Economic Development and Education).

Energy access projects

ODS 7: Affordable and clean energy

We are committed to the development and well-being of society, and the key to this is being able to access essential goods like energy. In this regard, we promote initiatives in line with our core business, that minimise the economic barriers facing vulnerable groups, offer training and education with regard to energy, ensure access to technology and infrastructure, promote energy efficiency and raise awareness about its use.

In this way we contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 7, by establishing a public commitment to 4.1 million beneficiaries from this type of project in the 2015-2030 period.

According to LBG methodology, in 2022 Endesa invested €5.2 million in social projects of this kind. This represents 31% of total investment, with the management of 121 initiatives that benefitted more than 260,000 people.

It is worth noting that 17 of these projects were geared towards minimising economic barriers preventing access to energy for vulnerable groups, as a result of the commitment to alleviate situations of energy poverty through training, advice and freezing supply cuts for people with payment defaults, beyond what is required by law. In 2022, more than 183,000 people benefited from this type of action.

Also, in the category of "Access to energy", we are promoting initiatives such as employability and job creation in the energy sector: the subcategory "Training in the field of energy" includes courses, internships and the creation of professional opportunities for unemployed people. In 2022 more than €1.4 million were invested in 31 projects of this type that benefitted almost 4,000 people.  

Social and economic development projects in the community

ODS 8: Decent work and economic growth

We are committed to the social-economic development of the communities in which we operate, promoting initiatives that boost progress through the support, generation and creation of the local economic fabric and programmes that promote employability and job creation.

In this way we contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 8, by establishing a public commitment to 2.1 million beneficiaries from this type of project in the 2015-2030 period. This includes non-energy projects that support the creation of employment, the development of infrastructure, the transfer of skills and training and support for local business activities.

According to LBG methodology, in 2022 we invested more than €2.3 million in this type of initiative. This represents 14% of social investment, with the management of 84 projects benefitting more than 138,000 people. There was a decrease compared to the previous year (273,000 beneficiaries) since in 2021 there were 80,000 beneficiaries from the second phase of the Endesa Public Responsibility Plan for COVID-19, undertaken on an extraordinary basis in response to the social impact caused by the pandemic.

Education projects

ODS 4: Quality education

We are committed to promoting access to inclusive, high-quality education through support for training activities that involve students, families, schools and universities, and the promotion of academic training generally speaking not related to energy. In this way we contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 4, by establishing a public commitment to 0.9 million beneficiaries from this type of project in the 2015-2030 period.

According to LBG methodology, in 2022 the company invested more than €1.8 million in this type of project. This represents 11% of social investment, with the management of 36 actions benefitting about 73,000 people.

Support projects for local communities

We support local communities through various types of projects aimed at improving improve the well-being of individuals and communities, maintaining their cultural identity, preserving their heritage, improving the environment and local biodiversity, promoting sport, encouraging healthy habits and meeting basic needs.

When undertaking these actions, we use our knowledge and awareness of the circumstances in each location and in collaboration with the main social organisations in the area where we operate, supported by our regional units. According to LBG, this action involved an investment representing 44% of the budget, amounting to €7.5 million, with 95 projects managed (compared to 78 in 2021) and over 583,000 beneficiaries (compared to 556,000 in 2021).

In 2022, we undertook twenty actions aimed at alleviating critical situations for families and people at risk of exclusion. According to LBG methodology, this involved an investment of nearly €336,000 distributed between 20 initiatives and with more than 30,000 beneficiaries.

We maintained our support for culture, collaborating in initiatives such as the Teatro Real, Amigos del Museo del Prado and the Palau de la Música Catalana. We also collaborated in the "El jardín de las delicias" festival and the "Endesa El jardín de las Delicias Tour", with the aim of bringing the world of music closer to people.

According to LBG methodology, in 2022 the company invested nearly €340,000 in the promotion of health and safety projects (compared to €279,000 in 2021) with 16 initiatives benefitting nearly 15,300 people.

We managed 44 initiatives to protect the environment and biodiversity  to which we allocated €4.2 million, according to LBG methodology.
