    GREENALIA CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN ITS CORPORATE GOVERNANCE WITH THE APPROVAL OF THE GREEN BOOK AND ITS CODE OF ETHICS23/11/21With the ratification of both documents by the General Shareholders’ Meeting, the company chaired by José María Castellano advances in the implementation of good corporate and compliance practices The ESG vertices: Environmental (A), Social (S) and Governance (G) are thus incorporated in a transversal way to Greenalia’s business project The company chaired by José María Castellano advances in the reinforcement of its corporate governance policies. Thus, after being approved by the Board of Directors, the Shareholders’ Meeting ratifies Greenalia’s Green Book of corporate policies and the Corporate Code of Ethics. Both documents are based on the philosophy that has guided the company since its inception, where the values of sustainability, transparency and ethics have been present since the birth of this business project. Now “we equip ourselves with the necessary tools to continue defending the organizational culture that has made us a reference in the markets where we operate” Manuel García Greenalia’s CEO stated. In line with the provisions of the European Green Deal, Greenalia reflects in its Green Book its firm commitment to sustainability ESG principles. Thus, within the Environmental scope the company establishes its biodiversity, climate action, circular economy and water policies. With regards to the Social ESG perspective, talent management, human rights, equality, diversity and inclusion, together with occupational safety and health and CSR, are some of the main policy drivers. Transparency and communications, Compliance, Risk Management and Anti-Corruption measures are the focus of the Governance scope.   Environmental strategy for the energy transition  With sustainable energy development as a basis, Greenalia’s commitment to the environment is unequivocal, a policy that pivots on four axes: biodiversity, climate action, circular economy and water. In this framework, respect for biodiversity and ecosystems has led the company to apply a preventive approach that minimizes the possible impacts of new infrastructures as much as possible. The precautionary principle has therefore been incorporated into all evaluations of new infrastructure projects. Impact compensation and the restoration of natural capital are the maxims to follow in cases where the impact is unavoidable. With the aim of promoting participation in the fight against climate change, the decarbonization of the business model is encouraged, with the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and maintaining the objective of remaining a carbon neutral company since it first reached neutrality in 2019. Following the EU’s Green Deal, Greenalia aligns with the multi-R concept (rethinking, redesigning, re-opening, repairing, redistributing, reducing, reusing, recycling and recovering energy). To this end, the selective collection of waste generated in the different operations of the company is promoted, so that an optimal treatment of them can be made. It encourages the use of non-renewable natural resources and all processes are digitized to avoid the use of material resources. Finally, and with regards to the use of water, reuse is advocated through the continuous improvement of processes and collection systems are optimized so that they do not alter the environment.  Constant dialogue with the environment  In Greenalia, the social impact is projected both among those who are part of the team, with the creation of safe and inclusive work environments, and with the communities where it operates, for which  a permanent contact and dialogue is established with the different community stakeholders. The incorporation and promotion of talent, as well as the creation of inspiring and safe work environments are basic principles in terms of human resources, as well as work for equality and social inclusion and respect for diversity, areas for which it has its own strategy since last year. In CSR terms, the creation of the Greenalia’s Foundation for the Energy Transition is an important instrument to channel social policies, a vehicle that highlights the promotion of projects that contribute to greater social cohesion, the promotion of corporate volunteering and rural social and labor development through the different collaborations with institutions or organizations in the local environment. Code of Conduct and Good Governance  Advancing in the consolidation of its Compliance Program, the governance section of the Greenbook  advances in the company’s transparency policy, reinforcing the information processes -internal and external- of its different actions. In the same way, a section is developed aimed at good corporate conduct, detailed in full in the Code of Ethics, which establishes the implementation of the Ethics & Compliance Channel. An instrument by which both our own staff and our suppliers can communicate any incident, abuse or breach of the Code of Ethics that governs this business project.  Finally, in line with the  strong commitment to  stakeholders, the development of a risk diagnosis and monitoring system is marked, so that they have information and guarantees of the stability of business projects.  With the whole package of measures and objectives set out in both documents,  which are intrinsically linked, Greenalia advances in its corporate governance policies in the same way as it does with its pipeline....

    GREENALIA VERIFIES WITH TÜV SÜD ITS SUSTAINABILITY REPORT, ONE MORE STEP IN ITS POLICY OF TRANSPARENCY AND GOOD GOVERNANCE27/09/21Independent assessments in environmental, social and environmental solutions have been established as  a fundamental tool to comply with sustainability,  transparency and good corporate governance policies. For the first time and in pursuit of greater corporate transparency, Greenalia has submitted its 2020 Sustainability Report to an independent verification process that has been carried out by  TÜV SÜD. The validation and certification project has been carried out based on Global Reporting Initiative’s (GRI) international sustainability reporting standards, – the global leading compliance institution on environmental sustainability reporting and/or documents in which organizations report on economic aspects, environmental and social activities, products and services-. Once the process was completed, TÜV SÜD, a leading company in the search for solutions in sustainability and good corporate governance, has ratified that the sustainability report presented by Greenalia is in accordance with the principles and guidelines specified by GRI, and the information provided is truthful. This verification also improves the quality, usefulness and credibility of data and management processes. In the words of Beatriz Mato, Greenalia’s CSO, “our strength in sustainability lies in the fact that it is a commitment assumed by all levels of the company, starting with its main driver, our CEO, Manuel García. This Sustainability Report verification, together with our ESG Plan and the entry of the director of sustainability in the Board level adds a plus of responsibility. All the people in the organization must go on working day by day to continue creating value in a sustainable and respectful way” For Diana Abengózar, consultant and auditor of the UN of Sustainability and Good Governance of TÜV SÜD, “our goal is to accompany companies in the development of their commitments acquired in the 2030 Agenda and in line with the Sustainable Development Goals”. To this end, the company offers solutions and services aimed at facilitating the correct fulfillment of the objectives of companies in terms of environmental and social sustainability,  as well as in the principles of good governance. “Because only those companies that bet on models based on good governance and sustainability strategies will be really competitive in the medium and long term,” added Diana Abengózar. With this evaluation, Greenalia takes another step in its transparency policy, through which the renewable energy producer relates with the environment and projects its contribution to the territory. The 2020 was the second Sustainability Report of the organization and the first verified, thus allowing it to complete the published financial information, explaining its origin and the way in which it reaches those figures. This action is part of the commitment to ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance factors that make up Sustainability), which Greenalia has been increasing over the years. All this with the aim that sustainability and CSR are present in a transversal way in all the projects developed by the company and to continue the path undertaken in previous years with the approval of the Strategic Sustainability Plan. Thus, during the past year, the renewable energy producer has had a special impact on the promotion of social support programs in those territories in which it is developing business projects. In this way, taking into account the difficulties generated by  COVID-19, social initiatives were carried out to support families in the 2020/21 return to school in five Galician municipalities (4 on the Costa da Morte and one in Lugo). To this end, agreements were signed with local administrations, through which financial aid was established for the purchase of school supplies that benefited half a thousand families with children. These initiatives have served as a preamble to what will be the Greenalia Foundation for the Energy Transition, an entity through which social, inclusion and equality projects will be developed in those environments in which the company is implanted. In addition, in the environmental ESG aspect, they continue to calculate their carbon footprint to continue being a Carbon Neutral company, adhering to FSC International, and maintain the Fair Wood certification....

As such, the company continues to support initiatives as part of its annual CSR plan, through which the company supports the development of inclusive actions in the environments in which it operates. The director of corporate development and sustainability, Beatriz Mato, highlights the role of sport in efforts to ensure social integration “through the values of effort, companionship and teamwork it conveys and which are so vital for people’s daily lives”. Greenalia continues to offer its firm support dedicated to struggling families, particularly during the economic crisis caused by the pandemic. This school year, more than 600 grants have been awarded for school supplies to support families in difficulty – a program carried out in partnership with the municipalities in which Greenalia has launched projects. As part of the CSR plan, the company has also partnered with Cáritas for the collection of toys for its Christmas campaign and in its Educa program, to which nine laptops were donated. Now, the company wants to go further, providing access to sport for young people in difficulty. For their part, Básquet Coruña has thanked Greenalia for its work and strong values in taking over the baton from the Emalcsa Foundation, with a contribution that will “allow Básquet Coruña to continue in this important social-integration work launched three years ago, through which boys and girls at risk of social exclusion may continue to practice their favorite sport, for free”. About the Básquet Coruña Basketball Club Básquet Coruña, founded in 1996, is the leading club across the city and its region, with the largest pool of young players in Galicia (558 licenses registered in the Galician Basketball Federation, with 41 teams, and 224 children practicing the sport through seven basketball schools in the 2019-2020 season). Throughout each season, the club carries out a wide range of initiatives to promote basketball, involving more than 2,000 young people.  ... Read more...

    THE BOND OF 55 MILLION EUROS ISSUED BY GREENALIA OBTAINS THE MAXIMUM RATING FROM STANDARD & POOR’S IN ITS GREEN EVALUATION29/01/21Last December the company successfully completed a five-year senior bond issuance intended to bolster its investment plan. Greenalia has just obtained 135 MW of wind power capacity from the renewable energy auction held this week by the Spanish Ministry for Ecological Transition. The 55 million euros bond issued last December by Greenalia in MARF (Spanish Alternative Bond Market) has obtained a B1 rating from the S&P Green Evaluation, the highest of the four possible levels, with E4 being the lowest. The rating was achieved after the operation was evaluated over three key areas: transparency, governance and mitigation. The rating agency’s evaluation report confirmed that their weighted sum gave a result of 76 points. It should be noted that the issuance of 55 million euros of senior bonds on the MARF last December was completed successfully. The nominal unit amount for each bond, intended for qualified investors, was 100,000 euros, with a maturity date of 5 years and a coupon of 4.95%. The issuance was able to achieve its initial objective with support from institutional investors and the company’s two main shareholders (Manuel García and Jose María Castellano). This is the 4th green bond issued by the Company: the first was issued in Spain and the other three in Luxembourg. Greenalia continues to consolidate itself as a benchmark company for these types of issuances and secures its position as a leading SME in these types of operations. The funds obtained through this operation, which just achieved the highest green bond rating from Standard & Poor’s, will be used to cancel the three existing bonds on the Luxembourg Stock Exchange (MTF) and other loans, in addition to continuing development of the company’s portfolio of renewable energy projects....

    GREENALIA CLOSED 2020 REINFORCING ITS SUSTAINABILITY AREA AND ITS ESG POLICIES29/12/20The producer of renewable energy launched a specific department for these areas and social actions were promoted in the municipalities where projects are being undertaken. In 2020, the company began the implementation of its First Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion Plan which includes more than 20 goals to advance equal opportunities. Currently, it is working on the Second Sustainability Report and the revision of the Strategic Sustainability Plan to adapt it to the new SDGs. The promotion of sustainability in the ESG (Environment, Social, and Corporate Governance) framework has been one of the axes around which the work of the new Sustainability Department at Greenalia has revolved. An area created during 2020 with the objective of sustainability and CSR being present in a cross-cutting way in all the projects developed by the company and to continue the path taken in previous years in which the Strategic Sustainability Plan was developed, which has been the company’s road map in this area. The producer of renewable energies has placed special emphasis on the promotion of social support programs in those regions where it is undertaking business projects. Thus, considering the difficulties brought on by COVID-19, agreements were launched with five Galician municipalities (4 on the Costa da Morte and one in Lugo) to support families in the return to school during the 2020/21 school year. To this end, agreements were signed with local governments through which financial aid was established for the purchase of school supplies that benefited 500 families with minors. In educational matters, there was also the agreement signed with Cáritas Coruña last November which governed the donation of laptops for the FamiliaEduca program managed by said NGO. These initiatives have served as a preamble to what will be the Greenalia Foundation for Energy Transition, an entity which is in the process of being established. With its startup, Greenalia will undertake social, inclusion, and equality projects in the environments where it works. In addition, with the aim of continuing to advance Corporate Governance Policies, a compliance action plan is being worked on in line with ESG standards and with the aim of incorporating the best practices of the market for the entire team. Internally, talent management and cybersecurity actions have been strengthened. In terms of the environmental aspect, we continue to calculate our carbon footprint to become a carbon neutral company once again. In addition, we have adhered to FSC International, thus strengthening our commitment and maintaining our Fair Wood certification. 2020-2023 Strategic Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Plan 2020 was the year in which Greenalia’s first Equality, Diversity & Inclusion (2020-2023) was approved – a plan with which the equality of opportunities between women and men will be promoted and guaranteed. For its development and follow-up, an Equality Commission was created – a body designed to ensure compliance with the more than 20 objectives set out in the document approved this second half of the year.

    GREENALIA ADVANCES IN ITS SOLAR PORTFOLIO IN SPAIN AND SUBMITS TO PUBLIC INFORMATION THE PROJECT “QUINTOS”03/12/21Quintos” (Seville), is the second Greenalia plant in the process of public information (IP) in Andalusia, after “El Tranco” (Almería), in the phase of receiving reports after completing the IP Greenalia continues the processing of its pipeline in Spain, where in addition to the development of its projects in wind and biomass, it has more than 600 MW of photovoltaic in process in the regions of Andalusia and Valencia, two of the areas with the best solar resource in the Iberian Peninsula. The “Quintos” plant, planned in Alcalá de Guadaira (Seville, Andalusia), is currently in the public exhibition phase, an installation that has the access and network connection rights and for whose development an investment of more than 30 million euros and the mobilization of more than 350 jobs are planned. The installation, with a power of 50 MWp, will have 86,207 state-of-the-art solar panels that will allow greater use in the capture of solar radiation. These panels will produce 101,324 MWh per year, that is, the consumption equivalent to 20,000 families and will have an important environmental impact by avoiding the emission of 14,500 tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. With similar figures, the plant of “El Tranco”, in the Andalusian province of Almería, specifically in the municipality of Lubrín, continues its processing. In this case, the public information phase has ended and is pending the corresponding Environmental Impact Statement (DIA). Low environmental impact The documentation submitted for processing includes the different environmental studies, after which a low impact is concluded, being the earthworks and the occupation of the land during the construction phase the actions that will produce the greatest impact on the ground. In this sense, and with the aim of minimizing the impacts as much as possible, prevention measures are established during construction and corrective measures after the end of the works, so that the values prior to the construction phase are restored. High-capacity areas Greenalia has 660 MW in photovoltaic processing, in projects located in the main resource areas of the Iberian Peninsula (510 MW Andalusia and 150 MW in the Valencian Community), classified as Zone V, with an annual capacity factor of 22%-25% (higher than 2,000 annual hours of production), much higher than the annual average of 18.8% (1645 equivalent hours, according to the 2018 Electric System Operation Report, published by REE)....

    GREENALIA ADVANCES IN THE DEVELOPMENT OF GOFIO, THE FIRST FLOATING OFFSHORE WIND FARM IN SPAIN, AFTER OBTAINING THE AERONAUTICAL PERMIT FROM AESA01/12/21The company, based in A Coruña, confirms the progress in the processing of the Gofio Project that will be the first floating offshore wind farm to connect to the grid in Spain Greenalia participated in the Offshore Wind Conference organized today in Ferrol by gointerHub Greenalia takes another firm step in the development of its floating offshore wind farm, Gofio, located in the Southeast of the Gran Canaria Island, having obtained the authorization in terms of aeronautical easements by AESA (State Aviation Safety Agency) for the assembly of the four wind turbines of the wind farm. With this permit, Greenalia has the approval for Gofio floating offshore wind farm in the port of Arinaga and for its subsequent towing to the final location, planned in front of the municipality of San Bartolomé de Tirajana, within the territorial sea of the Canary Islands (Spain). Currently, due to the moratorium on the presentation of new offshore wind farm projects imposed by MITRED through the publication of Royal Decree-Law 12/2021, of June 24, it is only possible to move forward with the processing of projects that have submitted their application for administrative authorization prior to the publication of the afore mentioned Royal Decree-Law, as is the case of the Gofio Offshore Wind Farm that Greenalia is promoting on the Gran Canaria Island. Greenalia’s objective is to obtain the necessary environmental and administrative authorizations for Gofio’s construction and, with this, to make Gofio the first offshore wind farm connected to the grid on Spanish coasts. This installation uses floating technology, key to offshore wind development on the Spanish coasts, so it is expected that this will be the beginning of the definitive deployment of this technology in Spain. With this new step, Greenalia once again confirms its commitment to the development of its floating offshore wind energy projects, one of the renewable generation sources called to be the basis of green growth in Europe for the coming years. These advances were presented by the deputy director of Greenalia, María Moreno, within the conference on offshore wind, organized by the GointerHub of Ferrol. The GOFIO wind farm has a capacity of 50 MW, enough energy to supply a population of more than 70,000 homes, through a production system that will avoid the emission of around 140,000 tons of CO2 per year. During the process of development, construction and operation, the generation of a significant number of jobs (direct and indirect) is expected, which contribute to the development of the green economy in the region, where the company Blue Lines Renewables, based in Gran Canaria, acts as strategic and technological partner. With the implementation of offshore projects, the Canary Islands can position itself as one of the leaders in floating offshore wind technology worldwide and, with it, achieve the objective of developing 310 MW of marine energy on the coasts of the Canary Islands, as stated by the island government in the Canary Islands Energy Strategy 2015-2025 – EECan25. Finally, it is expected that this development can be a key and essential milestone for the advancement of the floating wind sector worldwide and a historic opportunity for Spain to lead the energy sector, which surely, one of the considered tractors in the European recovery. A challenge that would also be an unbeatable opportunity for the internationalization of many companies in the sector and the generation of wealth and jobs.v... Read more...

    30 MW SUIME WINDFARM BEGINS PUBLIC EXHIBITION PHASE IN SPAIN18/11/21With this new project, Greenalia advances in the development of its Wind Pipeline in Spain The facility, planned in Rodeiro, Pontevedra, Galicia, foresees over 109,000 MWh/year production, the equivalent of the energy consumption from renewable sources of more than 22,000 families Greenalia continues the permitting process of its Wind Projects within its European pipeline. Today, a new Wind Farm, Suime, planned in the town of Rodeiro (Pontevedra, Galicia), begins public exhibition phase, after its publication in the Official Gazette (DOG). The 30 MW Project contemplates the installation of six (5 MW) wind turbines, with 102.5 meters of hub height and 145 meters of rotor diameter. An estimated annual production of 109,434 MWh, equivalent to the renewable energy consumption of more than 22,000 families. Likewise, the commissioning of this facility, with a 30 million euros estimated investment, will avoid the consumption of almost 9,000 tons of oil. For project placement, the most environmentally friendly alternative has been selected. Thus, it is located outside the protected areas included in the Natura 2000 Network, also apart from Natural Reserve, National Park, Natural Monument, Protected Wetland, Protected Landscape or Natural Area of Local Interest (ENIL) zones. The project is also outside the scope of influence of international protection figures (Biosphere Reserves, Ramsar Convention Wetlands, UNESCO World Geoparks). With the same philosophy of environmental protection, it has excluded the Important Areas for the Conservation of Birds and Biodiversity (IBA). During the preliminary study phase, no singular trees or singular formations included in the Catalogue have been located and it is not located on any point of geological interest in Rodeiro Municipality or others adjacent. After the archaeological surveys and the study of cultural heritage, it is concluded that no element belonging to it is affected and therefore it is compatible with the environment. To this end, a series of preventive and corrective measures have been included that minimize potential enviromental impacts. With regard to the existing flora in the area, the report states that, for the most part, they are non-priority habitats, while a restoration plan is included at the end of the construction phase. In this way, the affected surfaces will be reconditioned and revegetated.... Read more...

    GREENALIA ADVANCES ITS PIPELINE DEVELOPMENT IN SPAIN WITH A NEW 30 MW WIND PROJECT, CAMPOS VELLOS, ALREADY IN PUBLIC EXHIBITION PHASE09/11/21With this facility in the North West of Spain in the Ourense Municipalities of Beariz and Boborás, the company takes another step in its business development in the Iberian Peninsula With over 30 million euros investment, the Wind Farm will generate renewable energy to supply more than 25,000 families The renewable energy producer Greenalia is advancing in the processing of its wind projects within its European pipeline. Thus, after the publication today in the DOG (Galician Official Gazette), Campos Vellos Wind Farm, planned between the Galician towns of Beariz and Boborás, begins the public exhibition phase. The 30 MW project contemplates the installation of 6 wind turbines with a 5MW unit power, 102.5 meters of hub height and 145 of rotor diameter. Its annual production is estimated in 121,567 MWh, the equivalent to the energy consumption from renewable sources of more than 25,000 families.  Likewise, the commissioning of this facility will avoid the consumption of almost 9,000 tons of oil. The Wind Farm is located in an area of top wind resource, and avoids the lands included in the Natura 2000 Network as well as the Special Protection Areas for Birds (SPAs). It has also been separated from the Special Areas of Conservation (SACs) and, as far as the areas included in the Galician catalogue of wet lands are concerned, there is none present in the area of influence of the Wind Farm. After the different studies, no special ornithological interest has been detected either. In any case, the environmental monitoring plan contemplates continuous lookout in case any new indicator is detected that makes it necessary to incorporate new specific measure/s. After the heritage studies, no element of cultural interest or that is part of the heritage has been inventoried, neither in the area of action nor in its vicinity. According to the Impact Assessment on Cultural Heritage, it should be noted that this project has been reviewed and rethought significantly during the preliminary project phase so that several wind turbine positions have been modified to avoid potential impacts on archaeological assets, so that with the current project no affectations are foreseen. Regarding the flora, after the project execution phase, a restoration to recover the area of action will take place. These tasks will be carried out, when possible, in parallel with the progress of the construction work so that the landscape integration is carried out as soon as possible. With regards to the visual impact, the orography of the terrain, together with the design of the installation, allow us to conclude that we are facing a low level impact. Taking these factors into account and the development of the preventive and corrective measures provided in the project, the implementation of the Campos Vellos Wind Farm is considered compatible with the environment....

    VAQUEIRA WIND FARM OF 12,6 MW AND OVER 8 MILLION EUROS INVESTMENT BEGINS PUBLIC INFORMATION PERMITTING PHASE28/10/21With this development in the Northwest of Spain, Greenalia gains ground in its strategic pipeline objectives and contributes to the decarbonization process in Europe Greenalia is making progress in the permitting processing of its wind projects within its European pipeline. Thus, after the publication today in the DOG (Galicia’s Official Gazette), 12,6 MW Vaqueira Wind Farm, with over 8 million euros in investment, begins the process of public exposure, along with its Environmental Impact Study  (EIA)  and  the sectorial project. In its construction and start-up phases the project will mobilize 125 jobs in the area and contribute around 300,000 euros to the municipal coffers through taxes and fees. As stated in the Project brief, this facility will be composed of three wind turbines with a 4,2 MW unit power, a 112 meters hub height and a 136 meters rotor diameter. Once in operation, this Wind Farm will have 57,120 MWh/year estimated net production from renewable sources, the equivalent of the energy consumption of 13,500 homes. To select the wind farm location, the company has excluded areas in the Galician Network of Protected Areas, Natura 2000 Network, including the existing extension system. The implantation area is also outside the IBA (Important Bird Area) and the priority areas of reproduction, feeding, dispersal and local concentration of birds. As for the areas included in the Galician catalogue of wetlands, in location of the wind farm there is not present. Regarding the landscape, after the studies carried out and included in the brief object of the public exposition, it is concluded that the Wind Farm is compatible with the elements defined in the Galicia’s Landscapes Catalogue since no route included in this document is located less than 15 kilometers. As for the possible impact on avifauna, it is considered low, given that the area of influence does not present a special ornithological interest, there is no specific migratory corridor, nor any other risk generating situation. In addition, the technical improvements that the wind turbines will incorporate reduce significantly the probability of collision, in the case of bird passage. The project also includes the corresponding archaeological study, which concludes the compatibility of the Wind Farm with the existing archaeological heritage in the area of influence....
