Enel has been included for the first time in the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes following the annual review carried out by the leading Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) research and index provider MSCI of its sustainability indices. This capitalization-weighted index series provides exposure to companies with high ESG performance relative to their sector peers.

“Our inclusion in these renowned indices is the latest confirmation that sustainability is an integral part of our business model, driving our actions towards the creation of shared value for all our stakeholders,” said Francesco Starace, Enel CEO and General Manager. “All of our operations and investment decisions are guided by the UN Sustainable Development Goals, with special emphasis on emission-free generation and highly-efficient energy solutions promoting cleaner and more sustainable energy models.”

The indices, designed for institutional investors willing to integrate ESG factors into investment decision processes, uses a best-in-class approach by only selecting companies with the highest MSCI ESG Ratings, which measure a company’s resilience to long-term, financially-relevant ESG risks. In 2019 Enel received for the first time the highest MSCI ESG rating (“AAA”), paving the way for the company’s inclusion this year in the MSCI ESG Leaders Indexes, the most prestigious among MSCI’s index series measuring companies’ sustainability performance.
