Management system

In order to carry out a continuous improvement of environmental performance, Red Eléctrica has implemented an environmental management system certified according to ISO 14001 and registered, since October 2001, in the Community Eco-Management and Audit System (EMAS).

One of the fundamental elements of the management system is the annual environmental programme, the scope of which was extended in 2017 to include all the activities with an environmental component, in a global and cross-cutting way to the entire company, which is now called the annual environmental plan.
