The Group, which also draws on the work of an Investment Committee,(4) benefits from a centralized industrial vision of projects in the various business lines. Each project is assessed not only on the basis of its financial return but also in relation to the best technologies available at the Group level, which reflect the new strategic line adopted, explicitly integrating the SDGs within our financial strategy and promoting a low-carbon business model. Furthermore, each business line contributes to guiding Enel’s leadership in the energy transition and in the fight against climate change, managing the associated risks and opportunities in its area of competence. The new Global e-Mobility Business Line was recently launched, created to focus activities connected with the global expansion of the electric mobility market, charging solutions and related platforms for the delivery of power to zero-emission vehicles. e-Mobility was born from a desire to accelerate technological evolution and growth along the entire value chain linked to the e-mobility sector, responding to the needs of current and future users with a structured portfolio of charging solutions and software for the public and private sector, promoting the growth of electric mobility through partnerships and strategic alliances, and continuing the path of innovation in charging technology in which Enel is now recognized as a large and reliable international player.
