EDP launches new global website with carbon footprint meter
Developed to ensure inclusion for all users, the new website reflects EDP's evolution and its commitment to sustainability and innovation
More accessible, inclusive and sustainable – these are three distinctive features of the new global website that EDP has just launched. Hosted on the same domain – www.edp.com – this new version features a series of innovative features and resources designed to improve user experience and accessibility, becoming a single source of information about the company on a global scale, whatever the market.
With the aim of providing comprehensive information on EDP’s initiatives and reinforcing its position as a global leader in sustainability, the new website has been designed as a fast, accessible platform with a reduced carbon footprint. To support more conscious content management, a CO₂ emissions meter has been integrated into the back office (website management area), allowing managers to track the environmental impact of their publications. In addition, each page displays a sustainability seal visible to users, indicating its carbon footprint and promoting greater transparency. This functionality represents a significant step in EDP’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability.
The EDP corporate website reorganization project aimed to unify 13 distinct websites into a single global platform, including the EDP Renewables institutional website, which is now integrated into the EDP global website. The only exception was the EDP Renewables Investor Relations website, which was developed autonomously in compliance with legal requirements. The new model features new and improved features, demonstrating dedication to continuous improvement and stakeholder relationships.
From now on, users will also be able to benefit from new accessibility features, in a website designed to be inclusive and easier to use for everyone, including those with visual, auditory, motor or cognitive limitations. This new version has been developed in compliance with the international WCAG 2.1 guidelines (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines), ensuring colors, contrasts, text sizes and interaction states that respect the highest accessibility standards.
Furthermore, the new website was designed with innovation and user experience in mind. The adoption of innovative technologies has significantly improved the platform’s functionality, with emphasis on artificial intelligence (AI) support for automatic translations and the implementation, in the first phase, of a natural language search functionality. The design and development followed best usability practices, ensuring fluid navigation, accessible through assistive technologies — which, in addition to benefiting all users, also contributes to better SEO performance. The sitemap has been completely restructured and simplified to facilitate navigation, while optimized components and improved navigation flows ensure a more efficient, intuitive and enjoyable experience for visitors.
Available in English and Portuguese, EDP’s global website also includes local sites in their respective languages, accessible via the ‘EDP in the World’ icon on the home page.
