Enagás is a growing company whose strategy is based on creating value through operating efficiency and maintaining growth moving forward.
Over the course of our almost 50-year history we have developed the key infrastructures for the Spanish Gas System, transforming it into a benchmark for security and diversification of supply.
We are one of the companies with more LNG terminals in the world (8), it has built and operates around 12,000 kilometres of high-pressure gas pipelines, and we manage Spain’s three most important strategic natural gas storage facilities.
We are taking advantage of our know-how developed in Spain, exporting it to the international markets. We are now present in eight countries as a key participant in the midstream sector.
We analyse opportunities with a view to further strengthening our presence around three growth pillars: participate in the integration of the European natural gas market; develop natural gas infrastructure in growth markets; strengthen our position as a global specialist in LNG.

Sustainability as the framework for the development of our business is one of our strategic priorities, and a commitment shared by all the professionals who work for the company. Our Sustainable Management Model, based on innovation and continuous improvement, has positioned the company as a global sustainability leader: we have been acknowledged as the tenth most sustainable company in the world by the 2017 Global 100 Most Sustainable Corporations in the World index. We have also renewed our presence on the Dow Jones Sustainability Index (DJSI) for the ninth consecutive year, with a Gold Class rating and we are members of the main sustainability indexes such as ETHIBEL, MSCI or FTSE4Good.
The inclusion in these indexes is an acknowledgement of our commitment to create value to our stakeholders, and therefore an incentive to continue adopting best practices in sustainability.

Enagás is committed to the use of natural gas as the least polluting fossil fuel and, therefore, key to the power generation mix for meeting greenhouse gas effect emission reduction targets and allowing the development of more efficient renewable energies; as well as replacing other fossil fuels as we move towards more sustainable mobility in sea, rail and road transport.
In this line, we are working on a complete catalogue of innovative logistics services and new applications to boost the efficiency of the gas system and move forward in terms of digitalisation and adaptation of traditional business. As an example, we are coordinating the CORE LNGas hive project for the development of infrastructures in Spain and Portugal that support the use of Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) as an alternative fuel in sea (bunkering), rail and road transport. This initiative enjoyed collaboration from universities, port authorities, energy companies, etc.

Our approach to climate change management is based on public commitment, emission reduction measures and the reporting of our performance and results, as well as the extending of our commitment to our supply chain.
In the last two years, we have reduced a 50% our carbon footprint (verified in accordance with the ISO 14064 standard), thanks to our Energy Efficiency and Emissions Reduction Plan.
We have annual energy intensity targets at each of our facilities and long-term emission reduction goals, linked to employees' variable remuneration. Examples of these targets are cutting emissions by 30% over the 2016–2018 period compared to 2013–2015, or achieving a 35% of self-generation of our own electrical energy requirements from clean sources by 2020.
We have also set a carbon price, in order to fully incorporate environmental externalities into our business and investment decisions.
In addition, we work with our suppliers in the promotion of energy efficiency and greenhouse gas emissions reduction.

We perceive innovation as an attitude, a way of working that enables us to make ideas to improve efficiency, competitiveness and sustainability.
