Social impact
Generating positive social impact everyday
With more than 30M€ invested each year in social responsibility programs around the world, EDP is committed to contribute to the communities with its own initiatives, donations, and volunteering. From Europe, to LATAM, North America, Africa, and APAC, we develop more than 500 social projects with a strong focus on leaving no one behind in the energy transition.
Fair Energy Transition is the overarching global theme which includes projects to support access to energy, energy inclusion and communities impacted by the closure of thermal power stations, projects aimed at protecting the natural heritage and biodiversity, projects promoting energy efficiency and renewable energies, contributing for decarbonization and the fight against climate change, as well as educational projects in these fields) but we also invest in Culture thru our foundations in Brazil, Spain and Portugal and develop several actions to bring some emergency relief to communities when facing natural disasters.

The best way to say Y.E.S. to Social Impact
EDP's 'You Empower Society' (Y.E.S.) is a brand that identifies all our social projects worldwide. We believe it is an enabler of a positive culture towards an even more positive impact on multiple sectors of society where EDP operates. We say YES to 5 main areas: Y.E.S. to Energy , Y.E.S. to Planet , Y.E.S. to Skills, Y.E.S to Culture and Y.E.S. to Community. Five different and comprehensive clusters to organize our multiple activities and projects across the globe.
