Our Commitments


EDPR is a sustainable company working towards a better world for current and future generations. The commitment to sustainable development has also been one of the core values of our strategic agenda, with clear and demanding objectives for the future.

Accordingly, we adopted the main international reference frameworks promoted by the United Nations for sustainable management as a key factor in our strategy. Therefore, we are signatories of the UN Global Compact initiative since 2012, which establishes ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment and anti-corruption, and we are firmly committed to eight of the seventeen Sustainable Development Goals defined for the 2015-2030 horizon.

By adopting a principles-based approach to sustainability and integrating the United Nations international references into our strategy, EDPR is proud to be part of a global movement for building a better world.
