At Iberdrola España we attach great importance to our suppliers’ sustainable practices, and SMEs are fundamental to this commitment. Find out about all our initiatives to strengthen the sustainability of the small and medium-sized companies we work with in Spain.

We offer tools that help small and medium-sized enterprises play a full and active role in the energy transition.

In recent years, Iberdrola España has developed an innovative strategy to support the creation and consolidation of new sustainable, transparent, and ethical business projects. It has strengthened its commitment to SME suppliers through various initiatives that seek to improve the profile of small and medium-sized companies as drivers of sustainable development, among other objectives. Some of these initiatives are presented below.

Iberdrola España participats in the 3rd "Training Programme: Sustainable Suppliers". A free and exclusive programme for the professionals at our SME suppliers, developed by the UN Global Compact Spain and the United Kingdom, ICEX Spain Export and Investments and the ICO Foundation.
