Rome, March 12th, 2021 - Enel X, the Enel Group company dedicated to advanced energy services and products, today announced that it has joined the non-profit charity CDP – Disclose Insight Action (“CDP”) as a Gold Accredited Renewable Energy Solutions Provider.

As a CDP Gold Accredited Solutions Provider, Enel X is set to enhance its reach of companies to which it can supply advisory services on sustainable energy solutions.

"We need effective partnerships of this kind if we want to advance decarbonization: we will focus all our efforts jointly with CDP in growing opportunities for businesses to enhance the sustainability credentials of their operations on the road to building a cleaner community for all.” 

Enel X can count on specialized teams of engineers and advisors who can help companies plan custom-fit sustainable energy roadmaps that perfectly blend in with the corporate design of the specific business.

The partnership holds outstanding promise for a thriving and sustainable economy. CDP, a global non-profit and pioneering environmental data disclosure organization, has welcomed Enel X among its network of gold partners considering the shared mission to support businesses in reducing their carbon footprint. Enel X will apply its energy expertise and encourage companies to manage their environmental impact more prudently, consciously and in a smarter way by outsourcing Enel X’s innovative and sustainable solutions.
