Focus on leading the sector's energy transition
In the first half of the year, EDP announced, on a global level, a new positioning that reflects its mission to lead the energy transition. After presenting a strategic plan anticipating the goal of being 100% green by two decades, the EDP group began a new brand narrative with the motto “Changing Tomorrow Now” – “Changing tomorrow today”, used simultaneously for the first time in more than 20 countries where it is present. The campaign aims to reinforce the Company's commitment to decarbonizing the planet, a goal that will be achieved through accelerated investment in renewable energies, smart grids and sustainable solutions for customers, and continuous support for society.
With the message “EDP is using the power of wind, sun and water to be 100% green by 2030 and support those who are changing tomorrow today”, the company responds to a planet that needs new energy. This positioning includes the unprecedented commitment to invest 24 billion euros in the energy transition over the next four years and the expansion of the social and inclusive nature of EDP, reinforcing the ESG commitments (Environmental, Social, Governance) defined by the company's management.
