The appropriate energy solutions for the different markets in which EDP operates require a simultaneous response to a number of challenges. To this end, EDP has established a set of policies and principles to be applied in different areas.
Ethics and Compliance
We have an Ethics and Compliance Department that promotes ethical action and compliance with the law and regulations in force in all the countries where EDP operates, in accordance with the best international practices.
EDP adopts a dual corporate governance model that separates management and supervisory responsibilities. It comprises the General Meeting, the Executive Board of Directors, the General and Supervisory Board and the Statutory Auditor.
EDP's Executive Board of Directors is responsible for managing the company's activities, in accordance with the Portuguese Companies Code and EDP's Articles of Association. Its members are appointed by shareholders at the General Meeting.
EDP's General and Supervisory Board permanently monitors and supervises the activity of the company's management. It works with the Executive Board of Directors and other corporate bodies in pursuit of the company's interests and exercises its responsibilities in accordance with applicable legislation and EDP's Articles of Association.
EDP's General Meeting is the corporate body through which shareholders exercise the powers assigned to them by law and the company's Articles of Association, including the appointment of members of EDP's governing bodies where applicable.
