Communities

Transparent information and openness to discussion with communities is the base of Enel’s activities. Enel’s commitment to engaging, listening to, and discussing with all the local communities affected by the Company’s infrastructure was fulfilled in a series of community-level meetings and technical workshops and in a broader community engagement strategy.

Relevant topics and intervention procedures are singled out using a method inspired by public debate, a participative democracy procedure that allows citizens to ask questions and express their thoughts concerning infrastructural projects planned for their home territories.
Enel offers all of its know-how and resources, as well as philanthropic initiatives to meet the requests made by local communities.

In particular, the Large Infrastructure Projects Unit speaks with the communities affected by industrial construction work. The External Relations Department, and particularly the Institutional Communication and Stakeholders Unit, regularly addresses local communities and helps them grow by supporting educational, cultural, social, and sports activities. Enel feels the responsibility of leaving a better world to future generations. For this reason, the Research and Innovations and Environment Units are engaged in the development of innovative technologies for making energy environmentally sustainable.
