As part of its ongoing drive to support educational development in Oaxaca, Iberdrola México launched its fourth invitation for the Impulso STEM scholarships for young people interested in studying engineering at the Technological University of the Central Valleys of Oaxaca (UTVCO).

Iberdrola México received the Exceptional Practice Award granted by the Entrepreneurial Coordinating Council (CCE), Voz de las Empresas, and the Instituto para el Fomento a la Calidad for its Luces de Esperanza (Lights of Hope) project, which brings electricity to isolated rural communities through solar panels and batteries, and for its 5 Essentials + 1 program, a campaign designed to prevent occupational accidents.

Attention! Iberdrola México and Proyecto Concentrarte A.C. are inviting you to take part in a new invitation for muralists, whose work should focus on our program to provide vulnerable communities with electricity “Luces de Esperanza” (Lights of Hope), that will take place at the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.

The Iberdrola Spain Foundation, in collaboration with the European Commission’s Research Executive Agency (REA), promotes the second edition of the international postdoctoral fellowship program “Energy 4 Future” for people of any nationality.

Iberdrola México was recognized in the state of Chihuahua with the gold category of the Competitiveness Award 2022 for promoting a culture of business excellence and quality that encourages social and economic development.

Located in the City of Ensenada, Baja California, the “Baja California III” combined cycle power plant of Iberdrola México has been commercially operating for five years, during which time it has positioned itself as a benchmark in the energy industry thanks to its operation, which generates enough energy for 700,000 people, covering part of the demand for electricity of this northern state of Mexico, while at the same time taking care of the environment by monitoring its CO2 emissions.

In 2022, the broad range of volunteer actions carried out by Iberdrola People in Mexico provided benefits for many people. Keeping the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in focus to guide our social and environmental actions at all times, we performed 124 activities in the different states we operate in, with the participation of 3,285 people, including company personnel as well as their relatives and members of partner institutions.

The Ibero-American Foundation for Quality Management (Fundibeq) granted the Golden Award to Best Practices on Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to Iberdrola México for its Impulso STEM program, which since 2019 promotes the study of degrees in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in Oaxaca, mainly among women.

We have heard much about sexism in recent years, but do you know what the term refers to? It is a "pattern of behavior that affects women and other sexually diverse genders" , which is reinforced by acts of misogyny, individualism, gender role stereotyping, machismo and objectification of women. It also affects other men.

We tend to conceive the world in terms of dualities: good and bad, black and white, men and women. But the fact of the matter is that society is not just composed of two parts: it is much richer and this extends to the workplace. At Iberdrola México we are aware of this which is why we promote diversity and inclusion both inside and outside the organization.

Nowadays the concepts of diversity, equality and inclusion are relevant and subject to debate in different sectors. These questions have been on the agenda at Iberdrola México and now more than ever we want people inside and outside the company to know about them. But what does each of these concepts actually refer to?

At Iberdrola México we are moving ahead with actions to promote diversity, equality and inclusion. As of 2022, our company extended maternity and paternity leave, providing periods longer than the ones required by law.
