Environmental Report

In the Annual Environmental Report, published by Enel since 1996, we describe yearly initiatives and results achieved by the company's environmental policy, also comparing them with the previous 5 years.

In particular, we examine all activities held in the world, in particular: manufacturing, distribution and marketing activities concerning electricity, natural gas, mining and quarrying.

This document is therefore an opportunity to review the Company ‘s activities and it is a useful tool to achieve more ambitious and qualifying goals.

The Report describes the environmental organization of Enel and the instruments of governance, with a specific focus on our strategy in climate change combat.

Performance and data are presented both for the Group as a whole and in a differentiated way per single country. In addition, we also highlighted the activities and the most significant results of the various divisions, according to different technological chains.

The formats used to collect the data, both process and governance, are being continuously updated in accordance with the evolutions of Enel's organizational configuration, but also in accordance with legislation and technologies and the returns of experience.

The collection of data on health and safety at work is performed at different levels (company, division, corporate).

The methodology for the collection is based on principles and guide lines provided by the Enrico Mattei Foundation and are integrated by experience feedbacks and indications of the verifiers; since 2007 the indications provided by GRI (Global Reporting Initiative) are taken into consideration. Technical definitions are taken from the publications of UNIPEDE (International Union of Manufacturers and Distributors of Electricity). Concerning data on safety, we take into account the parameters of job security used in prospectuses emanated by ILO (International Labor Organization), Eurostat / Istat, INAIL (National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work ) and the American OSHA (Occupational Safety & Health Administration).

The formulas and methods used in the Company are consolidated and follow the rules of unification and the international standards.
Also, to uniform the process of collecting, calculating and disseminating data, the Group delivers specific policies and procedures relating to values and indices.
