INITIATIVES FOR SMES
Find out more about our programmes to boost sustainability in small and medium-sized enterprises
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 has taken part in the third edition of the Training Programme: Sustainable Suppliers, a free and exclusive initiative aimed at professionals from its SME suppliers. The programme has been jointly developed by the UN Global Compact in Spain and the United Kingdom, ICEX Spain Trade and Investment and the ICO Foundation.
This latest edition began on 12 March 2025, offering the SME suppliers for the Iberdrola Group, of which Iberdrola España is a part, an excellent opportunity to expand their knowledge, align with best practices in sustainability and strengthen their competitiveness.
Following the programme’s conclusion on 28 October 2025, a very positive final assessment was made for Iberdrola España’s SME suppliers: of the more than 360 suppliers initially registered, a total of 168 successfully completed the training, thereby improving their sustainability capabilities. What’s more, the level of satisfaction was remarkable, as more than 90% of participants considered the training useful for their company, reflecting the trust and effectiveness of this initiative.
With the excellent results achieved in this edition, together with those of the previous two, more than 800 Iberdrola Group SME suppliers have now received training through the programme.
Iberdrola España will renew its collaboration with the UN Global Compact in Spain for the upcoming edition, which will begin in March 2026.
If you are interested in taking part, you can contact us by email at smart.supply@iberdrola.es.
In collaboration with the UN Global Compact Spain, we offer a pioneering training plan with exclusive content on sustainability and incentives for CEOs and managers of small and medium-sized enterprises.
In these video sessions, the main trends, opportunities, regulations and practical actions on sustainability are discussed in depth so that CEOs or an SME manager can integrate them into your business. We also included various additional resources to further explore these aspects.
