The Enel Group is committed to developing its business model in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement (COP21), i.e. to limit the increase in global average temperature to less than 2 °C above pre-industrial levels and to do everything possible to limit the increase to 1.5 °C. In 2019, Enel officially renewed this commitment, responding to the request for action by the United Nations by signing a commitment to take action to limit the increase in global temperatures to 1.5 °C and to achieve zero emissions by 2050
In order to be able to effectively face all the risks and seize all the opportunities that the rapidly changing energy sector presents, Enel’s business model has defined roles for all of the Group’s major organizational units. Each Country operates in its geographical area in a matrix relationship with the broader Global Business Lines, managing activities such as relations with local communities, regulatory authorities, retail markets, local communication and so on. The mission of each business can be summarized as follows.
