In addition, at the World Economic Forum in Davos it was announced that Enel is also included for the first time in the Corporate Knights Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World index, reaching the 8^th position overall. Enel ranks first among the four Italian companies included in the index and  second within the power sector. The media, research and financial information products company Corporate Knights includes in the ranking the most active and transparent companies with regards to sustainable practices and performance.

“Our inclusion in these two prestigious indices highlights that sustainability for Enel is a 360° commitment, driving not only our strategic business choices and operations, but also the way we relate to our people and all our stakeholders,”  said Ernesto Ciorra, Head of Innovability at Enel. “The presence in Bloomberg GEI shows that in Enel diversity and inclusion are considered a resource and a stimulus to push innovation driving the success of our sustainable business model. This same model, thanks to its focus on boosting renewables, network digitalization and sustainable energy solutions, contributed to the recognition of our Group by Corporate Knights Global 100 as one of the most sustainable companies in the world and a leader in the energy transition”.

The main criteria that made Enel to be included in the sixteenth edition of the Corporate Knights Global 100 ranking were, among others, the high revenue generation from clean power and low carbon activities, the increasing trend of energy productivity, the reduction of water consumption over the last three years and the high female board representation.
