EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. (hereinafter referred to as EDP), with head office in Lisbon, Avenida 24 de Julho 12 and with its shares listed on the Euronext Lisbon stock ex- change, results from the transformation of Electricidade de Portugal, E.P., incorporated in 1976 following the nationalization and consequent merger of the main companies in the electricity sector in Portugal. During 1994, as established by Decree-laws 7/91 and 131/94, the EDP group (EDP group or group) was set up following the split of EDP, which led to a number of directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of EDP.
The group's businesses are currently focused on the gene- ration, transmission, distribution and supply of electricity and supply of gas. Although complementary, the group also operates in related areas such as engineering, laboratory tests, professional training, energy services and property management.
EDP group operates essentially in the European and American energy sectors.

Some of the sustainability information presented in this report follows other voluntary regulatory reporting frame- works, namely the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD), the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (SASB) and the Portuguese Securities Market
