REN achieves best-ever result in S&P Sustainability ranking

REN – Redes Energéticas Nacionais achieved a score of 77 points in the S&P Global CSA (Corporate Sustainability Assessment) index, marking the company’s best-ever result since joining the ranking in 2016.

Over the past nine years, REN has more than doubled its score, rising from 38 points, in 2016, to 77 points, in 2025. REN's transparency policies and quality in communicating sustainability practices were also recognised by the ESG Transparency Award, with a score of 93%, earning the Excellence status and being recognised as a Leading Company.

REN’s ESG performance has been increasingly recognised by leading international sustainability ratings. Assessments by S&P Global, the Carbon Disclosure Project, Morgan Stanley, ISS ESG and Sustainalytics have been consistently upgraded in recent years, thus confirming the company’s ongoing progress in areas such as sustainability, energy transition and climate change, natural capital management, employee recognition, value creation for stakeholders and responsible governance. In fact, REN’s performance prompted the Financial Times to select it as one of Europe’s Climate Leaders for the year 2025.

This evolution in rankings attests to REN’s strategic commitment to best environmental, social and governance (ESG) practices, further reinforced in the 2024–2027 Strategic Plan, in which REN placed an even stronger focus on its commitment to sustainability, namely through higher ESG targets, thus contributing to the energy transition while maintaining sustainable growth. Key objectives include reducing Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 60% before 2030, reducing Scope 3 emissions by 30% before 2030 (compared to 2021) and achieving net zero until 2040.

REN also aims to have one-third of management positions held by women before 2030, increase investment in employee skills development (100% of employees trained in ESG before 2030), strengthen community support, achieve 100% green bonds before 2030, as well as to keep and improve the use of ESG criteria as the main performance metric across the company.
