Sustainability Report

Through the Sustainability Report Enel gives account to stakeholders of its performance regarding economic, social and environmental activities.

The document illustrates values and principles that guide the Group, as well as activities, results, and objectives that have been or will be achieved, best performances and areas of improvement, in compliance with commitments and obligations towards all stakeholders.

Since 2006, Enel has been applying the guidelines drawn up by the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI-G3 Sustainability Reporting Guidelines), a multi-stakeholder network of thousands of experts throughout the world who, by participating in the initiative’s working groups and governance bodies, contributes to establishing and disseminating the procedures for reporting sustainability.

The GRI guidelines provide all the stakeholders of a company with a detailed overview of corporate sustainability and social responsibility and require compliance with the highest standards of transparency and completeness of information.

For the electricity industry (generation, transmission, distribution, and sale of electricity), GRI has established the EUSS (Electric Utilities Sector Supplement) indicators, which capture the particularity of that business and the key aspects of sustainability performance.

Enel has been proactive within the GRI in the conception, discussion, and approval of these sector indicators in order to make corporate communication for the use of the stakeholders concerned ever more transparent and fair.

After the experimental phase of reporting the EUSS in its 2008 Sustainability Report, starting this year  Enel reports  the EUSS indicators and integrate them in this Report.
