, a campaign aimed at avoiding accidents at work.
The second edition of
Exceptional Companies

“The social dividend has been part of our company's DNA for decades.
And
Luces de Esperanza

With a 100 million pesos budget,
Luces de Esperanza
has improved the quality of life of hundreds of families in the rural communities of Huasteca Potosina and Oaxaca since 2019, thanks to the installation of solar systems with batteries in homes, health centers, health, schools and community spaces.
The
5 essential +1
campaign , for its part, tries to promote behaviors and attitudes aimed at reducing any kind of accident among the staff or people who visit the facilities of the energy company.
In the first edition, Iberdrola was recognized for the
Pandemic Mitigation and Safe Return to Work Plan
, a project that it implemented at its facilities to respond to the challenges of covid-19.
This year, the awards included the participation of 104 companies and institutions, which registered 137 programs divided into two levels: Good Practice and Exceptional Practice.
The president of the Board of Directors for the Promotion of Quality, Francisco X. Casanueva, affirmed that these badges serve to "motivate and empower other companies to be benchmarks in the generation of employee well-being, digital transformation, transparency, the contribution to sustainable development and the strengthening of value chains”.
