Environmental respect

In 2010 we approved our biodiversity strategy whose main objective is to develop and maintain a transmission grid which is sustainable and compatible with the natural environment.

Respect for the natural environment and the conservation of biodiversity are key principles of our business management. For this reason, all our activities are carried out in accordance with strict environmental criteria.

This commitment is materialized in the Group's environmental policy, to ensure compliance with this policy the Group has an Environmental Management System (EMS) certified in May 1999 in accordance with the UNE-EN-ISO 14.001 standard and registered in the EC Environmental Management and Auditing System (EMAS) since October 2001. In 2004, Red Eléctrica became the first business group in the energy sector to obtain the environmental certification for all of its electricity transport activities and installations.

The determined effort of Red Eléctrica to become a responsible, efficient and sustainable business model has been recognised by the main rating agencies regarding sustainability: Red Eléctrica entered the Dow Jones STOXX Sustainability Indexes, list of companies committed to sustainability.
