- The company earned a Top 5% S&P Global ESG Score ranking, standing out among more than 7,800 companies evaluated worldwide for their sustainability performance.
Santiago, February 14, 2023 - Enel Américas was again confirmed in The Sustainability Yearbook, an annual study comparing the sustainability performance of listed companies based on a demanding and competitive evaluation. The company has been part of this selection since 2019. This year was distinguished for the first time in the Top 5% S&P Global ESG Score category, placing it among the most sustainable companies in the electricity industry worldwide.
To participate in the study, companies had to score in the top 15% of their industry and achieve an S&P Global Sustainability Score in the top 30% of the best-performing companies. The score results from S&P Global's annual assessment, the CSA, which also serves as the basis for inclusion in the family of sustainability indices.
"Sustainability is the driving force behind our strategy. We are focused on decarbonization, meaning changing the generation mix in favor of renewable energies and final consumption electrification. Our action focuses on our customers' and stakeholders' needs. All this is possible only with open and ethically inspired governance," said Maurizio Bezzeccheri, CEO of Enel Americas.
During 2022, the company was considered in the FTSE4Good Emerging Index, FTSE4Good Latin America Markets Index, and Dow Jones Sustainability Index Chile. It was also confirmed in the Dow Jones Sustainability Emerging Markets Index and the Dow Jones Sustainability MILA Pacific Alliance Index, and its performance was praised by other ESG analysts such as MSCI, Refinitiv, and Sustainalytics, among others.
Since 2004, The Sustainability Yearbook has analyzed the management of the world's largest companies in each sector and recognizes those showing the most significant leadership in integrating environmental, social, and governance aspects into their business. This year, the evaluation included more than 7,800 companies representing a market capitalization of USD 84 trillion, with an adjusted methodology including an exclusion selection process.
