| Iberdrola holds Forum of Experts on the Environment Spanish power company Iberdrola has held the third edition of its Forum of Experts on the Environment at its corporate headquarters in Madrid, focusing on the company's strategy for enhancing energy efficiency and promoting a more sustainable energy model. The creation of this forum (which focused on climate change last year and biodiversity conservation the year before) is another indication of the effort made by Iberdrola to keep abreast of issues of environmental awareness in society and strengthen its commitment to the environment. In the course of this meeting, managers in charge of environmental affairs in Iberdrola explained the company's strategy for promoting efficiency from a triple perspective: as a utility, as a supplier and as an energy consumer. In this regard, the company highlighted some of the initiatives underway, such as the promotion of renewable energy sources, intelligent grid projects, support for new technologies such as electrical vehicles and the offering of products that enable responsible use of resources and energy savings. Iberdrola also pointed out that as an energy consumer, it strives to develop sustainable workplaces equipped with intelligent lighting systems, installations designed to minimise water consumption and centralised air-conditioning systems. Lastly, the company's managers presented its new firm Iberdrola Servicios Energéticos (Energy Services) to promote energy savings, efficiency and services in homes, companies and public administrations, in line with national and European Union policies on energy matters. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
