Iberdrola Group structure

Decentralization and autonomy

Iberdrola has a decentralised structure and management model that approaches the decision-making to the countries in which such decisions must have effect. This is done through the country subholding companies and the head of business companies. In addition the Governance and Sustainability System provides measures that entitle the listed subholding companies a special framework of strengthened autonomy.
