Enel was also confirmed for the December 2018 edition in the Euronext Vigeo-Eiris World 120 index, following the revision of the second half of 2018. Twice a year, the index selects the 120 most sustainable companies out of the 1.500 main companies in free float terms in North America, Asia-Pacific and Europe. The company is also present in the Euronext Vigeo regional indices – Eurozone 120 and Europe 120, which select, respectively, the 120 most sustainable companies among the top 500 companies with the highest level of free float in the euro area and in Europe.
Enel has been featured in all three indices since their creation six years ago. Enel was awarded not only for its leadership role in promoting a low-emission energy model, through the development of renewables, digitization and sustainable energy solutions, but also for its commitment to the implementation of responsible business management practices, in particular in the areas of corporate governance, environmental strategy and human rights.
The Spanish subsidiary Endesa was also included in the three indices, after being admitted to the World 120 index for the first time at the end of 2014, and since its creation, in the Eurozone 120 and Europe 120 indices. Vigeo Eiris, the ESG rating that produces the indices, assists investors who intend to incorporate ESG criteria into their financial decisions. To compile the Euronext Vigeo-Eiris indices, the agency analyzes how companies include sustainability in their business strategies and incorporate ESG factors into decision-making processes.
In terms of sustainability, the investments of the Enel group are constantly growing and represent over 8,6% of the Group's share capital at December 31, 2017, with an increase of 46% compared to 2014.
