In 2025, Enel reported its Scope 2 emissions using the market-based method and using the location-based method.a
In 2025, Enel reported 40,740,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) of Scope 3 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, representing indirect emissions across its upstream and downstream value chain.a
The 2025 disclosure of Enel includes a breakdown across 7 of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol, up from 6 in 2024, reflecting improved emissions accounting practices and greater transparency across the company's value chaina
In 2025, Enel reported total Scope 3 emissions of 40,740,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e).a
Approximately 68.78% of these emissions originated from upstream activities such as purchased goods and capital goods, while 31.22% came from downstream activities like product use, distribution, and end-of-life treatment.a
Since 2019, Enel's Scope 3 emissions have decreased by 45.02%, reflecting a declining long-term trend in Scope 3 emissions over time.ad
Compared to the previous year (2024), Enel's Scope 3 emissions decreased by 12.12%, highlighting the company's efforts to lower indirect emissions from its value chain.a
In 2025, Enel reported emissions for 7 out of the 15 Scope 3 categories defined by the GHG Protocol.a
This partial disclosure allows for some insight into the company's indirect impacts.
In 2025, the largest contributors to Enel's Scope 3 emissions were:a
In 2025, Enel reported Scope 1 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of 18,950,000 tCO₂e and total revenues of USD 91,768 millions. This translates into an emissions intensity of 206.5 tCO₂e per millions USD.a
In 2025, Enel reported a Scope 1 emissions intensity of 206.5 tCO₂e per millions USD. Compared to the peer group median of 312.48, this places the company below its industry benchmark, indicating it is more carbon-efficient than most competitors.a
In 2025, Enel ranked 10 out of 25 companies in its industry peer group, based on Scope 1 emissions intensity (measured in tCO₂e per millions USD).a
Enel is therefore positioned in the mid-range of its industry, neither a clear leader nor a laggard in carbon efficiency.a
In 2025, Enel reported a total carbon footprint of 62,530,000 metric tons of CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) across Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. This represents a 10.29% decrease compared to 2024, indicating progress in reducing its overall greenhouse gas output.ab
The largest contributor to Enel's total carbon footprint was Scope 3 emissions, accounting for 65.15% of the company's total carbon footprint, followed by Scope 1 emissions at 30.31%.a
