Volunteering
Committing our most valuable energy
We believe that by harnessing our people energy in volunteering missions not only helps them developing their talents and skills but also multiplies the purpose and meaning of what we do and actively contributes to the development and transformation of the communities where we are present.
That's why we say: We #DareToVolunteer.
The EDP Volunteer Program was created in 2011, on the eve of the 'European Year of Volunteering.' Four working hours a month were earmarked for volunteer work, and following this rule, that very same year nine countries held their first Christmas Campaign.
Up to this day, the number of participants and individual/institutional beneficiaries has been rising steadily: Two out of ten EDP employees are volunteers - in a decade, they have totalled more than 43,000 participations.
Affecting the lives of more than 1 million people.
