Redeia advances its sustainable leadership with 81% ESG financing and over €83 million in positive impact across its footprint in 2025

In 2025, Redeia – a global manager of essential infrastructure – achieved 81% financing linked to environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria, compared to 51% in 2024. This represents a 30-percentage-point increase, allowing the company to easily exceed the 60% target set for last year, according to data from the 2025 Sustainability Report published on the company’s website.

Among the company’s key milestones in 2025, the report also highlights that 97.3% of capital expenditure (CapEx) corresponds to eligible activities that align with the EU Taxonomy's environmental objectives. 

The report outlines Redeia’s main ESG advancements as well as the degree of compliance with its Sustainability Commitment and the 2023–2025 Sustainability Plan, which the group has concluded having successfully met over 100% of its targets.

'Sustainability continues to be the core pillar guiding our strategy and our decisions. In a global environment marked by technological, energy, and social transformation, Redeia reaffirms its commitment to a just ecological transition, based on climate neutrality, innovation, and serving the public interest,' stated Eva Pagán, Redeia's Corporate Director of Sustainability and Research. 'With the new 2026–2029 Sustainability Plan that we have just presented, our goal now is to continue generating sustainable value for society, promoting essential infrastructure that contributes to economic development, territorial cohesion, and the protection of the natural environment,' she concluded.

Fewer emissions, more biodiversity, greater local impact

In 2025, Redeia continued to make progress on its climate and environmental targets through actions aimed at reducing emissions, protecting and conserving biodiversity, and fostering the sustainable integration of its infrastructure into the local environment. 

Regarding the fight against climate change, Redeia reduced its Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions by 28% compared to 2019, offsetting 100% of its Scope 1 emissions and those associated with electricity consumption. In line with this, 97% of the electricity consumed by the group came from renewable sources.

In addition, Redeia achieved 97% marking of power lines in areas of critical priority for birdlife and continued to drive the circular economy forward with a zero-waste-to-landfill target at Red Eléctrica, alongside incorporating circularity criteria into strategic supplies for the transmission grid.

In total, the company allocated €34.9 million during 2025 to advance the fulfilment of these environmental commitments. This also included the identification and management of biodiversity impacts, risks, and opportunities in alignment with the TNFD, and the rollout of initiatives such as the strategic approach outlined in the White Paper on Forests and the Marine Forest platform.

Locally, Redeia's Comprehensive Impact Strategy – launched in 2023 – continued to expand the company's positive social footprint in 2025. Over the past financial year, Redeia approved 98 initiatives through its Comprehensive Impact Committee and allocated €6.7 million to projects aimed at social innovation and sustainability in the regions where it operates. These actions generated a positive impact of €83.2 million in local communities, according to internal calculations using a specific measurement system that quantifies the contribution of investments to society. Action taken to combat inequality was particularly noteworthy, with more than 175 partnerships signed during the year.

In total, since its launch, the company's Comprehensive Impact Strategy has allocated €21.8 million to drive 293 initiatives, generating a total social impact of €211 million.

Strategic commitment to sustainability

This firm commitment moves forward with the new 2026–2029 Sustainability Plan, which has been conceived as a roadmap to accelerate the evolution towards a more efficient, resilient, and responsible energy model, while simultaneously expanding the company's positive contribution to society and the environment.

The plan, structured around 33 strategic goals, consolidates Redeia's position as an essential player in the energy and digital transition. Its priorities include the development of sustainable infrastructure, driving the electrification of the economy, conserving biodiversity, and generating positive impact and shared value in the communities where it operates.

In recent years, Redeia has cemented its status as an international benchmark in sustainability, a leadership position that has earned it a place on the major international sustainability indices. Recently, it entered the global Top 1% of the most sustainable companies according to S&P Global's Sustainability Yearbook 2026, and achieved the best score in the Spanish electricity sector on the Dow Jones Best in Class Europe and World indices.
