> Enel discloses the list of all the main associations it
collaborates with on climate related issues and their level of
alignment with the Paris Agreement¹.
> Enel systematically verifies that the positions of such associations
are consistent with the Paris Agreement and the Group's
climate policies:
> before joining the association, through an in-depth analysis of
the body's by-laws;
> after joining the association, contributing to its work and/or
promoting the Enel Group's position within working groups.
In case the level of alignment with the Paris Agreement for an
association result to be "low":
> Enel raises the issue within the association and initiates an in-
depth discussion with the aim of improving the alignment;
> If the assessment is "low" for two consecutive years, the CEO
will assess possible counteractions which may also include
the decision for Enel to leave the association.
