Ethics and Compliance

For us, integrity and transparency are non-negotiable values. They represent the foundation on which our credibility with our stakeholders rests and the compass that guides every decision we make.

It is these values, which permeate all spheres of the company, that make us a sustainable company in line with the ESG philosophy, capable of inspiring our employees, establishing fair relationships with the partners in our value chain, establishing relationships of trust with our stakeholders and with society as a whole, assuming a leading role in the transformation of the electricity sector, in the digital revolution and in the fight for an environment that ensures a sustainable future for all.

At EDP, integrity and transparency are non-negotiable values. They represent the foundation on which our credibility with our stakeholders rests and the compass that guides every decision we make.
