To ensure that the company always has a positive impact, ACCIONA has set a target to reduce by 60% its direct emissions (Scope 1) and those derived from electricity consumption (Scope 2) in absolute terms by 2030. Regarding Scope 3 emissions, it aims for a 47% reduction by 2030.
Moreover, as part of its 2025 Sustainability Master Plan, ACCIONA is committed to aligning more than 90% of its investment (CapEx) with climate change mitigation and adaptation activities as classified under the European taxonomy of sustainable activities.
