The<\/span> cost<\/span> of these<\/span> actions<\/span> will<\/span> be borne<\/span> by the<\/span> Naturgy<\/span> Foundation<\/span><\/strong>, using<\/span> the<\/span> resources<\/span> of the<\/span> Energy<\/span> Rehabilitation<\/span> Solidarity<\/span> Fund<\/span><\/strong>, one<\/span> of the<\/span> main<\/span> social<\/span> initiatives<\/span> of the<\/span> company\u2019s<\/span> Vulnerability<\/span> Plan<\/span><\/strong>.
The<\/span> energy<\/span> company<\/span> will<\/span> promote<\/span> actions<\/span> to replace<\/span> and<\/span> repair<\/span> equipment<\/span>, improve<\/span> energy<\/span> installations<\/span> and<\/span> improve<\/span> energy<\/span> efficiency<\/span><\/strong> in the<\/span> homes<\/span> of their<\/span> vulnerable<\/span> customers<\/span> through<\/span> express<\/span> rehabilitation<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Once<\/span> the<\/span> needs<\/span> have<\/span> been<\/span> identified<\/span>, whether<\/span> proactively<\/span> through<\/span> the<\/span> company’s<\/span> usual<\/span> operations<\/span> or through<\/span> a notification<\/span> from<\/span> the<\/span> social<\/span> services<\/span> or another<\/span> social<\/span> organisation<\/span>, the<\/span> Naturgy<\/span> Foundation<\/span> will<\/span> manage<\/span> the<\/span> rehabilitation<\/span><\/strong> with<\/span> the<\/span> energy<\/span> company\u2019s<\/span> network<\/span> of partner<\/span> companies<\/span>.<\/p>\n

The<\/span> Energy<\/span> Rehabilitation<\/span> Solidarity<\/span> Fund<\/span> is aligned<\/span> with<\/span> the<\/span> recommendations<\/span> of the<\/span> National<\/span> Strategy<\/span> to tackle<\/span> Energy<\/span> Poverty<\/span> 2019-2024<\/strong>. In this<\/span> roadmap<\/span>, the<\/span> Government<\/span> of Spain<\/span> defines<\/span> energy<\/span>–related<\/span> property<\/span> rehabilitations<\/span> as one<\/span> of the<\/span> short<\/span>-, medium<\/span>– and<\/span> long<\/span>–term<\/span> lines<\/span> of action<\/span>. The<\/span> purpose<\/span> is to address<\/span> this<\/span> problem<\/span> structurally<\/span>
and<\/span> use<\/span> this<\/span> rehabilitation<\/span> initiative<\/span> of the<\/span> energy<\/span> company’s<\/span> Foundation<\/span> as an example<\/span> of good<\/span> practices<\/span>.
According<\/span> to a study<\/span> conducted<\/span> by the<\/span> Chair<\/span> of Energy<\/span> Sustainability<\/span> of the<\/span> IEB<\/span>–University<\/span> of Barcelona<\/span> Foundation<\/span><\/strong> and<\/span> published<\/span> by the<\/span> Naturgy<\/span> Foundation<\/span>, over<\/span> two<\/span> thirds<\/span> of Spanish<\/span> families<\/span> in a situation<\/span> of energy<\/span> vulnerability<\/span> live<\/span> in homes<\/span> that<\/span> are<\/span> 25 years<\/span> old<\/span> or more<\/span>, meaning<\/span> they<\/span> were<\/span> constructed<\/span> before<\/span> the<\/span> current<\/span> construction<\/span> regulation<\/span> stipulating<\/span> mandatory<\/span> energy<\/span> efficiency<\/span> measures<\/span> was<\/span> established<\/span>.<\/p>\n

This<\/span> new<\/span> initiative<\/span> is part<\/span> of Naturgy’s<\/span> transformation<\/span> process<\/span> to adapt<\/span> its<\/span> business<\/span> to a more<\/span> sustainable<\/span> and<\/span> social<\/span> model<\/span><\/strong>. That<\/span> is why<\/span> the<\/span> group<\/span> has<\/span> redoubled<\/span> its<\/span> efforts<\/span> in environmental<\/span>, social<\/span> and<\/span> corporate<\/span> governance<\/span> (ESG<\/span>), and<\/span> has<\/span> created<\/span> a Sustainability<\/span> Committee<\/span> within<\/span> the<\/span> board<\/span> of directors<\/span> in order<\/span> to oversee<\/span> and<\/span> supervise<\/span> the<\/span> company’s<\/span> role<\/span> with<\/span> regard<\/span> to ESG<\/span>, as well<\/span> as to strengthen<\/span> the<\/span> board\u2019s<\/span> commitment<\/span> to these<\/span> matters<\/span>.
The<\/span> Energy<\/span> Rehabilitation<\/span> Solidarity<\/span> Fund<\/span> has<\/span> enabled<\/span> 1,100 homes<\/span> of vulnerable<\/span> families<\/span> to be rehabilitated<\/span><\/strong>, thanks<\/span> to different<\/span> partnership<\/span> agreements<\/span> the<\/span> Naturgy<\/span> Foundation<\/span> has<\/span> with<\/span> social<\/span> organisations<\/span> such<\/span> as Cruz<\/span> Roja<\/span><\/a> and<\/span> C\u00e1ritas<\/span><\/a>. To date<\/span>, the<\/span> Foundation<\/span> has<\/span> assigned<\/span> \u20ac2.3 million<\/span> to cover<\/span> this<\/span> rehabilitation<\/span><\/strong>, one<\/span> of the<\/span> main<\/span> causes<\/span> of energy<\/span> poverty<\/span> in Spain<\/span>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
