Climate change is a critical existential issue
for the survival of the human race.
It really requires a fundamental change in our world
and so we need to engage companies
by reducing their impact on the climate
and Enel, of course, has been a fantastic example of this.
Decarbonisation can be considered mainstream
in our sector, electricity,
probably the battle was won,
but there are many other industrial sectors
in which decarbonisation is really going ahead
at too slow a pace.
I really believe that creating shared value
is the only way to go.
The companies that are not using this
a pillar of their strategy
are destined to deteriorate and to die.
It’s not a game.
You can create value for both the company and the society.
This is an opportunity to do business in a better way
for long-term sustainability.
Creating shared value is the future
as it’s a way to overcome society’s problems,
not only in environmental and social issues
but also from the perspective of businesses
and how they can make a profit
but at the same time generating social value.
Business opportunities in climate change
exist because the markets are so large
so I think that
the only possible model going forward
is going to be a shared value method.
I spend most of my time in West Africa.
I see how developing countries
already have like the shared value
embedded in their way of doing business.
When you do business in Ghana, for example,
there is also a social component that comes with it.
We don’t need to talk about the social impact
…it’s already there!
We live in an era of “distributed” right now…
so it’s very important to see this for businesses as an opportunity
than anything else,
because if it’s anything else and not the real opportunity,
then we are just trying to make up.
The Agenda 2030 is a guiding star
a polar star for the Enel Group,
I find really interesting this convergence of objectives
from the public sector and corporations like Enel.
Only all together in a wider ecosystem
can we really solve
what is the issue number one for the world:
climate change.
The next #Enel FocusOn is going to be in Romania
and we’re going to speak about the Internet of Things.
