In this regard, the Company's estimated statements of liquidity for the coming year, together with the undrawn amount on the Company's non-current credit lines (see Note 13.3), provide assurance that the Company can obtain sufficient financial resources to continue its operations, realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the accompanying statement of financial position. The Company's directors have therefore prepared the accompanying financial statements on a going concern basis.
The financial statements at 31 December 2019 are presented in millions of euros. The Company's functional and presentation currency is the euro.
The statement of financial position, income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and the notes thereto for the year ended 31 December 2019 include comparative figures forming part of the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting on 12 April 2019.

Certain items of the statement of financial position, income statement, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows are presented in groups to facilitate understanding, although significant items are broken down in the notes to the financial statements.
The appropriation of the result for financial year 2019 as proposed by the Company's Board of Directors and submitted for approval by the General Meeting of Shareholders is as follows:
| Bases of Distribution for Financial Year 2019 | Euros |
|---|---|
| Profit/(loss) Profit | 1,642,109,330.16 |
| Total | 1,642,109,330.16 |

This amount does not exceed the earnings obtained by ENDESA, S.A. in 2019, less prior years' losses and the amount to be allocated to legal reserves and reserves specified in the Articles of Association plus the estimate of tax to be paid on these earnings.
The appropriation of the result of the 2018 financial year approved by the General Meeting of Shareholders was as follows:
| Bases of Distribution for Financial Year 2018 | Euros |
|---|---|
| Profit/(loss) Profit | 1,510,858,443.24 |

| Total | 1,510,858,443.24 |
(1) Maximum amount to be distributed corresponding to Euros 1.427 gross per share for all shares (1,058,752,117 shares).
The General Meeting of Shareholders of ENDESA, S.A. held on 12 April 2019 agreed to distribute a dividend charged to the results of the year 2018 equal to Euros 1.427 gross per share. On 2 January 2019, an interim dividend was paid on the result of the year 2018 equal to Euros 0.70 gross per share (Euros 741 million) and, on 2 July 2019 a complementary dividend was paid, charged to the result for the year 2018 of Euros 0.727 gross per share (Euros 770 million euros) (see Note 10.4).
The main recognition and valuation standards used in the preparation of these Annual Accounts, in accordance with the provisions of the General Accounting Plan, were as follows:
Intangible assets are initially recognised at their acquisition or production cost following the same principles as those established for determining the cost of production of inventories.
After initial recognition, intangible assets are valued at cost less accumulated amortisation and the accumulated amount of any recognised value corrections for impairment.
Intangible assets are amortised over their useful lives, which in most cases is estimated at five years.
The Company reviews the residual value, the useful life and the amortisation method of intangible assets at the end of each year. Any changes to the criteria initially established are recognised as a change of estimate.
Property, plant and equipment is initially recognised at acquisition or production cost following the same general criteria as those established for determining the cost of production of inventories. After initial recognition, items of property, plant and equipment are valued at cost less accumulated depreciation and the accumulated amount of any value corrections for impairment recognised.
Items of property, plant and equipment, less their residual value where applicable, are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, i.e. the number of years for which the Company expects to use them.
Useful lives, residual values and the depreciation method are reviewed at least at the closing date of each financial year and if necessary they are adjusted prospectively.
The useful lives of assets used for depreciation are as follows:
| Property, plant and equipment | Years of estimated useful life | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||
| Furniture | 10 | 10 | |
| Other property, plant and equipment | 5-14 | 5-14 |
The costs of extension and improvement of property, plant and equipment that represent an increase in the productive capacity or a lengthening of the useful life of the assets are added to the value of the assets.
Renewals of fixed assets are capitalised providing the conditions for their recognition as assets are met, that is, that they result from past events and that the Company expects to obtain future economic benefits from them.
Regular maintenance, upkeep and repair expenses are expensed as incurred.
Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits inherent in ownership of the leased asset are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases in which the Company is the lessee are recognised at the commencement of the lease term, an asset being recognised according to its nature and a liability for the same amount and equal to the lower of the fair value of the leased asset and the present value of the minimum lease payments. Subsequently, the minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is recognised as an expense and distributed over the lease term so as to obtain a constant interest rate each year applicable to the remaining balance of the liability. The asset is depreciated in the same way as other similar depreciable assets if there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will acquire ownership of the asset at the end of the lease term. If there is no such certainty, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of its estimated useful life and the lease term.
The expenses or income deriving from operating lease agreements are charged or credited to profit and loss in the year in which they accrue.
Any amounts received or paid upon entering into an operating lease are treated as advance payments and charged or credited to profit and loss over the period of the lease as the benefits of the leased asset are transferred or received.
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise simultaneously to a financial asset in one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument in another entity.
Financial instruments are classified at the time of their initial recognition as financial assets, financial liabilities or equity instruments, depending on the economic substance of the contractual agreements from which they derive and in accordance with the definitions of financial asset, financial liability and equity instrument.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset only when the Company has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends simultaneously to settle the net amount or realise the asset and cancel the liability.
d.1. Financial assets other than derivatives and equity investments in Group Companies, Joint Ventures and Associates
For valuation purposes the Company classifies its financial assets, whether current or non-current, into the following categories based on their characteristics and on the Company's intentions at the time of initial recognition:
Loans and receivables: financial assets deriving from the provision of services as part of the company's normal commercial operations, or which, while not having a commercial origin, are not equity instruments or derivatives, are payable in fixed or determinable amounts and are not traded on an active market.
These financial assets are initially recognised at the fair value of the consideration delivered plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are measured at amortised cost, which is the initial value less principal repayments made plus accrued interest not received calculated using the effective interest rate method.
Accrued interest is recognised in profit and loss, applying the effective interest rate method. The effective interest rate is the discount rate that exactly matches the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be received or paid over the expected life of the financial instrument (or a shorter period where appropriate) with the carrying amount of the asset or liability.
When there is objective evidence that the asset may have suffered impairment, the corresponding analysis is carried out, and an impairment loss recognised if the carrying amount of the asset is greater than the present value of the estimated future cash flows discounted at the effective interest rate calculated at the time of initial recognition, the impairment loss being recognised for the difference between the two. For financial assets at variable interest rates, the effective interest rate corresponding to the closing date of the annual accounts is used in accordance with the contractual conditions.
However, trade receivables which have no contractual interest rate and are due in no more than one year, loans and advances to personnel, dividends receivable and capital called up on equity instruments and expected to be received in the short term, are measured both initially and subsequently at their nominal amount when the effect of not discounting future cash flows is not significant.
Value corrections for impairment and reversals thereof are recognised as expense or income respectively in profit and loss. Reversals of impairment are limited to the carrying amount of the receivable that would be recognised at the reversal date if no impairment had been recognised.
Held-to-maturity investments: this category comprises debt securities with a fixed maturity date and of a fixed or determinable amount traded on an active market and which the Company has expressed its intention and ability to keep in its possession until their maturity.
The valuation criteria applying to this type of assets are the same as those explained for "Loans and Receivables".
The Company had no investments of this nature at 31 December 2019 or 2018.
They correspond almost entirely to financial investments in the equity of companies that are not Group companies, Joint Ventures or Associates.
They are valued initially at the fair value of the consideration delivered plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently they are valued at their fair value when this can be reliably determined. In the case of investments in equity instruments the fair value of which cannot be reliably determined, they are valued at cost, less the accumulated amount of any value corrections for impairment when there is evidence of such impairment.
Changes in fair value, net of the tax effect, are debited or credited as the case may be to "Equity - Adjustments for Changes in Value", until such time as the investments are disposed of or they suffer impairment (of a stable or permanent nature), when these accumulated results previously recognised directly in equity are transferred to profit and loss. In this regard, stable or permanent impairment is considered to exist if there has been a fall of more than 40% in the value of the asset during a period of one year and a half, without the value having been recovered.
If the fair value increases in subsequent years, the value correction recognised in previous years in profit and loss is reversed.
The criteria for recognising impairment losses on equity instruments valued at cost because their fair value cannot be reliably determined are similar to those indicated in Section d.3 of this Note.
Interest and dividends on financial assets accruing after their acquisition are recognised as income in profit and loss.
For these purposes, in the initial valuation of the financial assets, the amount of the explicit interest accrued and not due at that time and the amount of the dividends approved by the competent body up to the time of their acquisition are recognised independently in accordance with their maturities. Explicit interest is understood as that obtained by applying the contractual interest rate of the financial instrument.
Likewise, when the dividends distributed derive unequivocally from profits generated prior to the acquisition date, in that amounts greater than the profits generated by the investee since the acquisition have been distributed, they are not recognised as income but applied in reduction of the carrying amount of the investment.
Interest is recognised using the effective interest rate method and dividends are recognised when the right to receive them is declared.
The Company derecognises financial assets when they expire or when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the risks and rewards of ownership have been substantially transferred. However, for transfers of financial assets in which the risks and rewards of ownership are substantially retained, the Company does not derecognise the financial assets but instead recognises a financial liability for the same amount as the consideration received.
If the Company has neither substantially transferred nor retained the risks and rewards of the financial asset, the asset is derecognised when control is not retained. If the Company retains control of the asset, it continues to recognise it for the amount to which it is exposed through changes in the fair value of the asset transferred, i.e. for its continuing involvement, recognising the associated liability.
Derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety involves recognising in profit and loss the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received, net of transaction costs, including any assets obtained or liabilities assumed and any deferred gain or loss in income and expense recognised directly in equity.
The Company classifies its financial liabilities, whether short or long term, into the following categories depending on their characteristics and on the Company's intentions at the time of their initial recognition:
Trade and other payables: these are payables arising from the purchase of goods and services in the course of the Company's business, or those which, while not of a commercial origin, are not considered as derivative financial instruments.
Financial liabilities for trade and other payables are recognised at fair value, reflecting the value actually received, net of transaction costs. In subsequent periods, financial liabilities are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest rate method.
In the particular case where the liabilities are the underlying of a fair value hedge derivative, they are measured, exceptionally, at their fair value for the portion of the risk hedged.
However, trade payables which have no contractual interest rate and mature at no more than one year and capital called up by third parties and expected to be settled in the short term, are measured at their nominal amount when the effect of not discounting the cash flows to their present value is not significant.
These liabilities are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received less any directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently recognised at fair value, changes in this fair value being recognised directly in profit and loss.
o Other financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss: include those financial liabilities which have been designated as such on initial recognition and which are managed and evaluated on a fair value basis.
These liabilities are initially measured at the fair value of the consideration received less any directly attributable transaction costs. They are subsequently recognised at fair value, changes in this fair value being recognised directly in profit and loss.
The Company derecognises financial liabilities when the obligations that generated them have been extinguished.
Group companies are companies over which the Company exercises direct or indirect control. Associates are companies over which the Company has significant influence (significant influence being presumed to exist when the Company holds at least 20% of the voting rights in another company). Joint ventures are companies over which by virtue of an agreement joint control is exercised together with one or more partners.
Investments in Group companies, Joint Ventures and Associates are initially measured at cost, which is equal to the fair value of the consideration delivered plus any directly attributable transaction costs.
Subsequently these investments are measured at cost, less any accumulated value corrections for impairment. These corrections are calculated as the difference between the carrying amount and the recoverable amount, the latter being understood as the higher of fair value less selling costs and the present value of the future cash flows from the investment. Where future cash flows are not available, the equity of the investee is taken into account, adjusted for any unrealised capital gains existing at the measurement date (including goodwill if any).
Impairment losses and, where applicable, their reversal, are recognised as expense or income, respectively, in profit and loss, subject to the limit of the carrying amount of the investment that would apply at reversal date if no impairment had been recognised.
For the impairment test on its investees, ENDESA S.A. uses pre-tax cash flow projections for ENDESA S.A. and its subsidiaries based on the latest budgets available. These budgets include ENDESA S.A.'s management's best estimates of its income and expenses using industry projections, past experience and future expectations.
These projections cover a 5-year period and future cash flows, applying reasonable growth rates based on assumptions regarding average long-term growth rates and forecast inflation rates for the sector and geographical region concerned.
The discount and growth rates applied in 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| % | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Discount rate | 3.6 - 6.3 | 4.9 - 8.3 |
| Growth rate | 1.5 | 1.6 |
The approach used for allocating values to the key assumptions considered was the following:
Assumptions for energy sale and purchase prices and output of generation facilities are made based on complex specifically-developed internal forecast models that consider factors such as prices and availability of commodities (e.g. Brent crude, gas, coal, etc.), forecast demand, planned construction or the commissioning of new capacity in the various technologies. These models are constantly changing, factoring in changes in variables such as availability of the production base, start-up of operation of new plants. They provide signals on prices in the system and estimates of production costs, on which output forecasts for generation facilities are based.
Assumptions for energy sale and purchase prices are made based on complex specifically-developed internal forecast models. The planned pool price is estimated on the basis of a number of decisive factors such as the costs and outputs of technologies and demand for electricity, among others.
Based on these assumptions, impairment tests were carried out on ENDESA S.A.'s investees. These tests did not reveal the need to recognise any value corrections for impairment.
The derivatives held by the Company relate mainly to transactions arranged to hedge interest and exchange rate risks, the purpose of which is to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks in the underlying hedged transactions.
Derivatives are recognised at their fair value in the statement of financial position at the end of the reporting period. Derivatives are recognised as current or non-current financial investments where the value is positive and as current or non-current liabilities where the value is negative. Derivatives arranged with Group companies are recognised as current or non-current investments in Group companies and Associates where the value is positive and as current or non-current debts to Group companies and Associates where the value is negative.
Changes in fair value are recognised in profit and loss as financial income or expense, except where the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and the requirements for hedge accounting are met, among them that the hedge be effective or expected to be highly effective, in which case it is registered as follows depending on the type of hedge:
Accounting hedges are designated and documented as such when they are first expected to prove highly effective.
A hedge is considered to be highly effective when the changes in fair value or in the cash flows of the underlying directly attributable to the hedged risk are offset by the changes in the fair value or cash flows of the hedging instrument with an effectiveness in the range of between 80% and 125%.
Derivatives embedded in other financial instruments are recognised separately when their characteristics and risks are not closely related to those of the host instrument, provided that the overall contract is not recognised at fair value with changes through profit or loss.
The fair value of the various derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows:
Hedge accounting is discontinued when the hedging instrument matures or is sold, terminated or exercised, or the hedge no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. Any accumulated gains or losses relating to the hedging instrument that have been recognised in equity continue to be recorded under equity until the foreseen transaction is completed. When the hedged transaction is not expected to be carried out, the net gains or losses accumulated in equity are transferred to profit and loss for the period.
The Company has entered into commodities forward sale and purchase contracts, basically for liquefied natural gas. As a general rule, these contracts are valued in the statement of financial position at their fair value on the closing date, changes in value being recognised in profit and loss except for supply contracts that are fully transferred in their terms, rights and obligations to other Group companies, where the Company has acted as a contracting party exclusively for organisational reasons or with the purpose of achieving greater efficiency in the process of concluding or managing said contracts.
Financial guarantee contracts, meaning deposits in guarantee and guarantees granted by the Company in favour of third parties, are valued initially at their fair value, which unless there is evidence to the contrary is the premium received plus the present value of any cash flows to be received.
Subsequently, financial guarantee contracts are measured as the difference between:
Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand and demand deposits with financial institutions. They also include other short-term, highly liquid investments providing they are readily convertible into known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition.
Obligations existing at the date of the statement of financial position arising as a result of past events and which may have a negative impact on the Company's assets, which are likely to materialise but the amount and settlement date of which are uncertain, are recognised as provisions in the statement of financial position at the present value of the most probable amount that it is estimated that the Company will have to disburse to settle the obligation.
Provisions are quantified based on the best information available at the reporting date on the consequences of the event for which the provision is required and are re-estimated at the end of each reporting period.
Contingent liabilities are not recognised in the financial statements but disclosed in the corresponding Notes when they are not considered to be remote.
The financial effect of provisions is recognised as a financial expense in profit and loss. Provisions maturing at one year or less and the financial effect of which is not significant are not discounted to present value.
If it is no longer probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed.
For defined benefit plans, the Company recognises the expenditure relating to these provisions on an accruals basis over the working life of the employees by performing actuarial studies at the reporting date, calculated using the projected unit credit method. Past service costs relating to changes in benefits are recognised immediately as expense in profit and loss to the extent that the rights are irrevocable.
Provisions for benefit plans represent the present value of the accrued provisions after deducting the fair value of the qualifying plan assets and any unrecognised past service costs. The actuarial losses and gains arising on the measurement of plan liabilities and assets are recognised directly in equity, in 'Other Reserves': (see Note 10.3.5).
For each of the plans, any positive difference between the actuarial liability for past services and the plan assets is recognised under non-current provisions on the liability side of the statement of financial position. If the difference is negative it is recognised in non-current financial investments - loans to third parties, on the asset side of the statement of financial position, providing the difference is recoverable by the Company, normally be deduction from future contributions.
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as expense in profit and loss as employees provide their services.
Defined benefit plan assets and liabilities are recognised as current or non-current depending on when the associated benefits are realised or fall due.
Post-employment plans that have been fully insured, and for which the Company has therefore transferred all the risk, are considered to be defined contribution plans and, as such, no assets or liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position.
The Company recognises benefits for termination or suspension of employment when there is an individual or group agreement with the employees allowing them individually or collectively, unilaterally or by mutual agreement with the company, to cease working for ENDESA, S.A. or temporarily suspend the employment contract, in exchange for compensation or consideration. If mutual agreement is required, the provision is recognised only in situations in which ENDESA S.A. has decided to give its consent to the termination of employment and this consent has been notified to the employee either individually or collectively to employee representatives. In all cases in which these provisions are recognised, there is an expectation on the part of the employees that these early retirements will take place and there is an official notification by the Company to the employee or to the employees' representatives.
The Company has in place workforce reduction plans, which are covered by the corresponding workforce reduction plans approved by the government, or in agreements signed with the employee representatives. The plans guarantee payment of an indemnity or maintenance of regular payments during the period of early retirement or suspension of the employment contract. The Company recognises the full amount of the expenditure relating to these plans when the obligation arises, meaning when the Company cannot avoid the disbursement, depending on the commitments given to the employee or the employees' representatives. These amounts are determined, where applicable, from actuarial studies to calculate the obligation at yearend. The actuarial gains and losses arising each year are recognised in profit and loss for that year.
The Company recognises the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus plans when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
Transactions in currencies other than the euro, the Company's functional currency, are translated into euros at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction date. During the year, differences arising between amounts translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date and those translated at the exchange rate at the date of collection or payment are recognised as financial income or expense in profit and loss (see Note 9).
Balances receivable or payable at 31 December each year denominated in currencies other than the euro are translated using the year-end exchange rate. Any resulting translation differences are recognised as financial income or expense in profit and loss.
In the accompanying statement of financial position, assets and liabilities maturing in 12 months or less are classified as current and those maturing at more than 12 months are classified as non-current.
The income tax expense or income for the year is calculated as the sum of the current tax of the Company resulting from applying the tax rate to the tax base for the year, after taking into account any available tax deductions, plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax credits and any unused tax loss carryforwards and deductions.
The differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply or to have been approved pending publication at the closing date of the year in which the assets are realised and liabilities settled.
In accordance with the principle of prudence, deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that the company will have future taxable profits available against which these assets can be applied. In any case, this condition will be considered to exist when the tax legislation provides for the possibility of future conversion of deferred tax assets into an enforceable claim against the tax authorities with respect to such assets as are eligible for conversion.
Unless proved otherwise, it is not considered likely that the company will have future taxable profits in the following cases:
Also, it is likely that the Company will have sufficient future taxable profits to be able to recover the deferred tax assets providing there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same tax authority and the same taxable entity, the reversal of which is expected:
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences, except where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting result nor taxable income.
Tax deductions arising from economic events occurring in the year reduce the income tax expense, unless there are doubts as to whether they can be realised, in which case they are not recognised until they have effectively been realised.
The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reviewed at the end of each reporting period in order to check that they are still valid and any appropriate adjustments are made.
The Company also evaluates any deferred tax assets that were not previously recognised. Based on this evaluation, the Company recognises deferred tax assets not previously recognised provided it is probable that the Company will have taxable profits in the future enabling these assets to be realised.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are not discounted and are classified as non-current assets or liabilities in the statement of financial position, regardless of the estimated realisation or settlement date.
The Company forms part of the tax consolidation group headed by ENEL S.p.A. (the ENEL Group's Italian parent company), represented in Spain by ENEL Iberia, S.L.U.
The accrued income tax expense for the companies forming the tax consolidation group is determined taking into account, in addition to the parameters considered in the case of individual taxation as set out previously, the following:
A reciprocal receivable and payable arises between companies that contribute tax losses to the tax consolidation group and the rest of the companies that offset those losses. Where a tax loss cannot be offset by the other companies in the tax group, these tax loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets in accordance with the criteria established for their recognition, considering the tax group as the taxable entity.
Income tax deductions and abatements affect the calculation of the tax accruing in each company by the actual amount applicable under the tax consolidation regime.
The amount of the payable to (receivable from) the entity representing the tax group in Spain, ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., is recognised with a credit to current debts to (or a debit to current investments in) Group Companies and Associates in the accompanying statement of financial position.
Income and expense are recognised on an accruals basis.
Income from continuing operations is recognised when there is a gross inflow of economic benefits generated in the ordinary course of the Company's business during the year, provided that this inflow of economic benefits results in an increase in equity that is not related to contributions from equity holders and these benefits can be measured reliably. Income is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable.
Income from services rendered is recognised only if the amount of income, degree of completion, costs incurred and costs pending can be reliably estimated by reference to the degree of completion of the provision of the service at the reporting date.
Interest income and expense are recognised on the basis of the effective interest rate applicable to the outstanding principal over the corresponding accrual period.
Dividend income from investments in equity instruments is recognised when the Company's right to receive it comes into existence. In accordance with the resolution of the Institute of Accountants and Auditors (ICAC) published in issue 79/2009, consultation 2 of the BOICAC (official gazette of the ICAC) on the classification in the individual financial statements of the income and expense of a holding company, the main activity of which is to hold equity investments, dividend income is recognised under revenues in profit and loss, while an item has been included under the operating margin for impairment losses on the equity instruments associated with its activity.
The Company excludes from the revenue figure gross receipts of benefits when it acts as an agent or commission agent on behalf of third parties, recognising only those corresponding to its own activity as income.
Environmental expenses are those incurred by the Company on activities aimed at managing the environmental effects of its operations.
The environmental expenses of these activities and any incurred as a result of events outside the Company's normal business that are not expected to arise frequently (including fines, sanctions and compensation payable to third parties for environmental damage), are classified as operating expenses under other operating expenses - external services in the period in which they are incurred.
Assets acquired by the Company with a view to their long-term use in its activity to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and protect the environment are recognised, depending on their nature, as property, plant and equipment or intangible assets, at their acquisition or production cost, and are depreciated or amortised on a straight-line basis over their useful lives.
All the Company's transactions with related parties are at market prices. Additionally, transfer prices are adequately supported, and consequently the Company's directors consider that no significant risks exist in this respect from which significant liabilities could arise in the future.
Where ENDESA, S.A. employees participate in a remuneration scheme paid in cash and tied to ENDESA, S.A. share prices, and this company assumes the cost of the scheme, ENDESA, S.A. recognises the fair value of ENDESA's obligation to employees as an expense under the heading "Personnel expenses" in the Income statement (see Note 18.3.5).
The statement of cash flows reflects the changes in cash occurring during the year, calculated using the indirect method. The following terms are used in the statements of cash flows with the meanings specified:

Financial assets held for trading and available-for-sale financial assets are measured at fair value, except investments in equity instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably determined. These investments are measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses (see Note 4d). The fair value of the rest of the financial assets does not differ substantially from their carrying amount.
Financial assets held for trading are financial derivatives not designated for accounting purposes as hedging instruments.
The fair value of financial assets is measured taking into account observable market variables, specifically by estimating discounted future cash flows using zero-coupon yield curves for each currency on the last working day of each closure, translated into euros at the exchange rate prevailing on the last working day of each closure. All these measurements are made using internal tools.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the fair value of the Company's non-current financial assets under "Loans and Receivables" did not differ from their carrying amount.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018 the breakdown by maturity of non-current financial assets, excluding equity instruments, was as follows:

The Company has signed with ENDESA Energía, S.A.U. and ENEL Global Trading, S.p.A. contracts for the sale of liquefied natural gas (LNG) whereby it transfers, under the same conditions, the purchases that the Company has contracted with Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC for the fulfilment of the contracts referred to (see Note 17.2). Transactions in this operation are denominated in US dollars (USD), are considered an intermediation and are presented netted in the accompanying Income Statement under the heading Procurements.
Foreign exchange differences arising on transactions settled in 2019 and 2018 related mainly to valuations of treasury accounts denominated in foreign currency.
At 31 December 2018 and 2017, the composition and movement of equity are shown in the statement of changes in equity which forms part of the Company's financial statements.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA, S.A. had share capital of Euros 1,270,502,540.40, represented by 1,058,752,117 bearer shares each with a par value of Euros 1.20, fully subscribed and paid up and all admitted to trading on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. This figure was unchanged in 2019 and 2018. All the shares have the same voting and profit-sharing rights.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENEL Group, through ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., held 70.101% of ENDESA, S.A.'s share capital (see Note 1). At these dates, no other shareholder held more than 10% of the share capital of ENDESA, S.A.
The issue premium arises from the Company's corporate restructuring transactions. Article 303 of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Enterprises Act expressly permits the use of the balance of the issue premium to increase capital and does not establish any specific restrictions as to its availability.
Nonetheless, at 31 December 2019, Euros 43 million of the issue premium were restricted to the extent that they were subject to tax deductions applied in prior years (Euros 46 million at 31 December 2018).
Details of the Company's reserves at 31 December 2019 and 2018 are as follows.
| Note | 31 December 2019 |

|---|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve | 10.3.1 | 254 | 254 |
| Revaluation reserve | 10.3.2 | 404 | 404 |
| Reserve for Amortised Capital | 10.3.3 | 102 | 102 |
| Reserve for Redenomination of Capital to Euros | 10.3.4 | 2 | 2 |
| Reserve for actuarial gains and losses and other adjustments | 10.3.5 | (24) | (20) |
| Other reserves | 703 | 703 | |
| Merger reserve | 10.3.6 | 667 | 667 |
| Other unrestricted reserves | 10.3.7 | 36 | 36 |
| Voluntary and other reserves | 36 | 36 | |
| TOTAL | 1,441 | 1,445 |
In accordance with Article 274 of the Consolidated Text of Spain's Corporate Enterprises Act, an amount equal to ten percent of the profit for the period must be transferred to the legal reserve each year until the reserve reaches at least twenty percent of the capital. The legal reserve may be used to increase share capital providing the balance left in the reserve is at least equal to 10% of the nominal value of the total share capital after the increase. Except for the aforementioned purpose and until it exceeds 20% of the share capital, the legal reserve may be used only to offset losses, and then only if no other sufficient reserves are available for such purpose.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company held the minimum amount stipulated in law for this reserve.
The revaluation reserve is a result of the revaluation of assets made pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996 of 7 June. On 1 January 2000, the revalued assets were contributed to the corresponding companies following the corporate restructuring carried out by ENDESA, S.A.
The balance of this reserve may be used, tax-free, to offset accounting losses, for the year or accumulated from prior years or that might arise in the future, and to increase share capital or unrestricted reserves. It may also be transferred to unrestricted reserves providing the monetary gain has been realised. The gain will be deemed to have been realised for the part corresponding to the accounting depreciation carried out or when the revalued items have been transferred or derecognised.
This balance would be taxed if used for any purpose other than that foreseen in Royal Decree Law 7/1996 of 7 June.
Nonetheless, at 31 December 2019, Euros 269 million of the issue premium were restricted to the extent that they were subject to tax deductions applied in prior years (Euros 296 million at 31 December 2018).
The reserve for amortised capital has been funded in compliance with Article 335 of Spain's Corporate Enterprises Act, which establishes that, when the reduction is charged to profits or unrestricted reserves or by amortising shares acquired by the company free of charge, the amount of the par value of the amortised shares or of the reduction in their par value must be posted to a reserve available only subject to the same requirements as those required for reducing the share capital.
This reserve is unavailable.

This reserve derives from actuarial gains and losses recognised in equity (see Note 11.1).
This reserve stems from corporate restructuring and its balance at 31 December 2019 and 2018 amounted to Euros 667 million, of which Euros 93 million and Euros 99 million respectively were restricted in that they were subject to certain tax benefits.
Voluntary reserves are freely distributable.
At its meeting held on 26 November 2019, ENDESA S.A.'s Board of Directors agreed to pay its shareholders a gross interim dividend against 2019 profit of Euros 0.70 per share, which gave rise to a payment of Euros 741 million (see Note 3). This interim dividend was deducted from the Company's equity at 31 December 2019.

The obligations included in the accompanying balance sheet under the heading of provisions for pensions and similar obligations arise as a result of collective or individual agreements in which a commitment is made by the company to provide a system to supplement that granted by the public system to cover the contingencies of retirement, permanent disability and death.
Pension commitments, both defined benefit and defined contribution, are instrumented basically through pension plans or insurance contracts, except for certain benefits in kind, for which, due to their nature, no externalisation has been carried out and which are covered by the related internal provision.

The following were the most significant actuarial assumptions considered in the calculations at 31 December 2019 and 2018:

|
|---|---|---|
| Mortality Tables | PERM/F2000 | PERM/F2000 |

| Consumer Price Index (CPI) (1) | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Increase in healthcare costs | 3.20% | 3.20% |
(1) Annual pension and salary increases.
The interest rate applied to discount the provisions in Spain is obtained from a curve constructed using the yields on corporate bond issues by companies with an "AA" credit rating and based on the estimated term over which the provisions arising from each commitment will be settled.
The projected unit credit method is used, where each year of service generates a unit of rights to the benefits, with each unit determined separately.
With the amounts recorded in the Balance sheet at 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company has covered the aforementioned provisions.
The contributions made by the Company to defined benefit and contribution pension plans amounted to Euros 8 million in 2019 (Euros 13 million in 2018) and are recognised under Personnel Expenses in the Income Statement.
The obligations included in the accompanying balance sheet under the heading of provisions for workforce restructuring plans arise as a result of collective or individual agreements in which a commitment is made by the company to provide a regime complementary to that granted by the public system to cover the situation of termination or suspension of the labour relationship by agreement between the parties.
As of 31 December 2019, there is a plan in force (Voluntary Departure Plan of 2000) affecting a total of 15 people, all of them in early retirement (28 people as of 31 December 2018).

At 31 December 2019, there were 280 employees with suspended contracts under the "Agreement on Voluntary Measures to Suspend or Terminate Employment Contracts in the 2013-2018 period of the Framework Agreement on Guarantees for ENDESA, S.A. and its electricity subsidiaries" for which ENDESA has undertaken not to exercise the power to request their return to the company (283 employees at 31 December 2018) (see Note 21).
This agreement, which expired on 31 December 2018, provided the possibility of suspending the employment contract of workers over 50 years of age for a period of one year, renewable for annual periods until the date of the worker's ordinary retirement, provided that neither the employee nor the company requested the worker's return to the company in exchange for receiving a periodic income during the period of suspension of the contract.
The provision covers the total cost to be assumed by the Company during the period for which, in accordance with the commitments acquired at 31 December 2019, the company cannot avoid the employment contract being suspended.

At the date of preparation of these financial statements, the main lawsuits or arbitration proceedings involving the Company are as follows.
In 2016, the Tax Agency notified ENDESA S.A. of the start of proceedings on the tax consolidation group to which it belongs in respect of Corporation Tax for the years 2011 to 2014. In April 2018, the consolidated tax group signed notices of disagreement with the corporation tax assessments from 2011 to 2014. On 9 July 2018, the final assessments were issued, and these were appealed on 27 July 2018 before the Central Economic and Administrative Court and is pending resolution.
The disputed items are, mainly, the result of differing criteria on the deductibility of certain financial expenses during the inspected period. There is a guarantee covering the suspension of the debt.
Following a large number of meetings of the "Committee responsible for negotiating ENDESA's V Framework Collective Agreement", starting in October 2017 and continuing throughout 2018, and given that no agreement was reached, the Company's management informed its workers and their representatives that, with effect from 1 January 2019, "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" would be considered to have ended, in addition to the "Guarantee Framework Agreement" and the "Agreement on voluntary suspension or termination of employment contracts for 2013-2018", from which date the general collective agreement would apply, in addition to all case law established in this regard.
The different interpretations by ENDESA and by the trade unions representatives of the effects of terminating "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA", specifically with regard to the social benefits for former employees, led the trade unions representative in ENDESA's companies to file a collective dispute claim with the Spanish High Court at the beginning of 2019. On 26 March 2019, the Spanish High Court ruled in favour of ENDESA, validating the Company's interpretation that recognizes the legality of the completion of the application of certain social benefits for former employees following the termination of "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA".
Although this ruling is fully enforceable, the unions with representation in ENDESA's companies presented in April 2019 an appeal to the Supreme Court against it, to which the company responded by means of a written challenge filed on 19 June 2019. In December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, General Workers Union (UGT), agreed to withdraw the aforementioned Appeal as a result of voluntarily submitting to an arbitration in equity for the resolution of certain aspects relating to the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". The appeal to the Supreme Court is therefore continuing at the request of the three applicant minority unions (Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), Sindicato Independiente de la Energía (SIE) and Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG)) and at the time of issue of these Annual Accounts its resolution is pending, with the expectation that it will take place in the second half of 2020.
In addition to the aforementioned Collective Conflict lawsuit, almost a thousand individual claims have been submitted at the time of issue of these Annual Accounts by passive personnel or personnel under the voluntary departures plan (AVS) who claim that the termination of the "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" did not affect them in the terms notified by the Company. At the time of issue of these Annual Accounts, most of these claims are pending or suspended, since the Collective Conflict lawsuit is pending before the Supreme Court determines the stoppage of the individual proceedings affected by the same matter, in accordance with labour law procedural regulations. Consequently, the result of these individual claims, and of any new ones that could be initiated after the issue of these Annual Accounts, will depend to a large extent on the outcome of the appeal filed.
The Company's Directors do not expect that any additional significant liabilities to those already recognised in the accompanying statement of financial position will arise as a result of the above-mentioned lawsuits.

Financial liabilities held for trading, financial liabilities at fair value with changes through profit or loss and hedging derivatives are measured at fair value. Financial liabilities held for trading are financial derivatives not designated for accounting purposes as hedging instruments.
In accordance with the valuation criteria, items covered by fair-value hedging derivatives are included under other financial liabilities at fair value with changes through profit or loss.
The fair value of financial liabilities is measured taking into account observable market variables, specifically by estimating discounted future cash flows using zero-coupon yield curves for each currency on the last working day of each closure, translated into euros at the exchange rate prevailing on the last working day of each closure. All these measurements are made using internal tools.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the fair value of the Company's non-current debts under "Debts and payables" did not differ from their carrying amount.
Details of non-current financial liabilities at 31 December 2019 and 2018 by maturity are as follows.

(1) The amount signed by ENDESA was Euros 5,814 million at 31 December 2019 (Euros 4,560 million at 31 December 2018).
(2) Above these percentages, restrictions would generally apply only if no equivalent consideration were received or if ENDESA, S.A.'s solvency were to be significantly and negatively affected.
The Company's directors do not consider that these clauses will change the current/non-current classification in the accompanying statement of financial position at 31 December 2019 and 2018.

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA, S.A. had undrawn credit lines available totalling Euros 2,677 million and Euros 3,077 million respectively, of which Euros 1.000 million correspond to a committed and irrevocable credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International, N.V. (see Notes 12.2 and 13.3).
ENDESA, S.A. is exposed to certain risks which it manages by applying risk identification, measurement, control and supervision systems, all of which are implemented throughout the Group of which it is the parent company.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy establishes the basic principles and the general framework of management and control of risks of all kinds that might affect the attainment of its objectives, ensuring that they are systematically identified, analysed, evaluated, managed and controlled within the established levels of risk.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy seeks to guide and steer the set of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors of ENDESA S.A. to precisely delineate the acceptable level of risk, so that the managers, staff and service functions of the various Business Lines can maximise the profitability of the Company, preserve or increase its equity and ensure a given degree of achievement, preventing uncertain and future events from having a negative influence on the achievement of the company's profitability objectives, its operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained manner over time, providing an adequate level of guarantees to shareholders and safeguarding their interests, as well as those of customers and other stakeholders.
The principles of ENDESA's General Risk Control and Management Policy, aimed at controlling and mitigating the possible risks identified, are as follows:
Safety is the number one value at ENDESA and the health and safety of the people working in and for ENDESA, S.A. must be safeguarded in all its activities.
Commitment to sustainable development, efficiency and respect for the environment and Human Rights.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is developed and supplemented by other specific risk policies of the Business Lines, staff and service functions, as well as by the limits established for optimal risk management in each of them.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR in the Spanish abbreviation) conforms to a model based on the one hand on an ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or benchmark sectors as regards risk management, homogeneous measurement criteria within the same type of risk, segregation of risk managers and controllers, and, on the other hand, on ensuring a link between the risk assumed and the resources needed to operate the business, ensuring an appropriate balance between the risk assumed and the objectives set by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A.
The risk control and management process consists in the identification, evaluation, monitoring and management over time of the various risks, and takes account of the main risks to which the Company is exposed, whether of internal or external origin. The objective of risk management is the performance of the actions aimed at keeping risk levels at optimum levels and in any case always within the established limits.
The risk management and control mechanisms are set out in the following notes.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to variable interest rates.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a balanced debt structure that makes it possible to minimise the cost of the debt over several years with reduced income statement volatility, through diversification of types of financial assets and liabilities and modifications to the risk exposure profile by arranging derivatives.
The goal of reducing the amount of borrowings subject to interest rate fluctuations is achieved by contracting specific hedging transactions, generally by means of interest rate derivatives. In any case, the structure of these hedging contracts is adapted to that of the underlying financial instrument, and in particular their duration never exceeds the maturity of the underlying financial instrument, so that any changes in the fair value or cash flows of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying position. At 31 December 2019 the company had contracted interest rate hedges for Euros 835 million (at 31 December 2018 the Company had no interest rate hedges).
The Company has signed two current account financing contracts with ENDESA Financiación Filiales, S.A.U., in euros and US dollars (USD), with interest on both credit and debit balances equal to the average cost of gross debt to ENDESA in Spain (or any other that might replace it in the future) determined in the month immediately prior to the interest period in question, and which may be revised, if applicable, based on the actual rate applying at the end of the interest period .
ENDESA, S.A.'s interest rate risk structure, taking into account the derivatives contracted, at 31 December 2019 and 2018, is as follows:
Millions of Euros
| Net position | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 31 December 2019 |

| Fixed interest rate | 3,853 | 3,001 | |
| Floating interest rate | 6,840 | 8,324 | |
| TOTAL | 10,693 | 11,325 |
The reference interest rate for the borrowings arranged is basically Euribor.
Details of hedged financial assets and liabilities and the derivative financial instruments used to hedge them are provided in Notes 8, 12 and 14.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Income statement and on the Statement of recognised income and expense, ceteris paribus, was as follows:

The currency risks correspond, primarily, to debt contracted in foreign currency and payments to be made and received in international markets for the acquisition or sale of energy stocks or for investments in property, plant and equipment.
ENDESA, S.A. has arranged futures to mitigate its currency risk. The Company also tries to balance cash collections and payments for its assets and liabilities in foreign currency.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA, S.A. did not have a significant portion of debt in foreign currency or that was not hedged by derivatives and forward exchange contracts.
Details of hedged financial assets and liabilities and the derivative financial instruments used to hedge them are provided in Notes 8, 12 and 14.
Assets and liabilities in foreign currency are disclosed in Note 9.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the impact on the Income statement and Statement of recognised income and expense of a 10% appreciation or depreciation of the euro against all other currencies, ceteris paribus, is not considered material.
ENDESA, S.A.'s liquidity policy consists of arranging committed long-term credit lines with both banks and ENEL Group companies and temporary financial investments in an amount sufficient to cover projected needs over a given period based on the situation and expectations of the debt and capital markets.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA, S.A.'s liquidity amounted to Euros 3,108 million (Euros 2,809 million at 31 December 2018) as detailed below:
Millions of Euros

| TOTAL | 3,108 | 2,809 | |
(1) At 31 December 2019 and 2018, Euros 1.000 million correspond to the available committed and irrevocable credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International, N.V. (see Note 12.2).
The amount of these credit lines, together with the current assets, provide sufficient coverage of the Company's short-term payment obligations (see Note 2.4).
The classification of financial liabilities by contractual maturities is shown in Note 12.4.
Credit risk is generated when a counterparty does not meet its obligations set out in a financial or commercial contract, giving rise to financial losses. ENDESA S.A. is exposed to credit risk from its operational and financial activities, including derivatives, deposits with banks, transactions in foreign currency and other financial instruments.
Unexpected changes to the credit rating of a counterparty have an impact on the creditor's position in terms of solvency (non-compliance risk) or changes to market value (spread risk).
The Company mainly trades with counterparties in the Group of companies to which it belongs and therefore is exposed to limited credit risk.
Despite this, the Company monitors credit risk very closely, and takes measures including the following:
As regards credit risk in relation to financial instruments, the risk policies followed by ENDESA, S.A. consist in placing its cash surpluses as set forth in the risk management policy, which requires top-tier counterparties in the markets it operates in.
At 31 December 2019, the greatest exposure to cash positions held with a counterparty was Euros 14 million of a total of Euros 31 million, this counterparty has a rating of A+ (Euros 9 million of a total of Euros 13 million at 31 December 2018, the counterparty having a rating of A-).
Details of financial assets exposed to credit risk are provided in Note 8.
Applying the risk management policy described above, the Company mainly uses interest and exchange rate hedging derivatives.
The Company classifies its hedges in the category of cash flow hedges, which are those that allow it to cover the cash flows of the hedged underlying.

Increases due to permanent differences, in the year 2019 correspond to differences in valuation rules amounting to Euros 15 million, to other non-deductible expenses amounting to Euros 13 million, to donations and gratuities for Euros 9 million and the loss caused as a result of the impairment of the investee companies amounting to Euros 1 million. The decreases correspond mainly to the application of the exemption to avoid double taxation on dividends received from group Companies and Associates for the sum of Euros 1,855 million (see Note 16.1) and to other non-taxable income in an amount of Euros 2 million.

The increases in temporary differences correspond to long-term provisions for personnel and workforce restructuring plans amounting to Euros 16 million, other non-tax-deductible provisions of Euros 7 million, differences between accounting and tax depreciation and amortisation for Euros 3 million and other nondeductible expenses amounting to Euros 2 million. The decreases correspond to the application of non-current employee provisions and workforce restructuring plans of Euros 49 million, and of a provision for liabilities for Euros 3 million.
Increases in permanent difference in 2018 corresponded to additions to the provision for liabilities amounting to Euros 15 million, differences in valuation rules amounting to Euros 15 million, donations and gratuities amounting to Euros 4 million and other non-deductible expenses amounting to Euros 3 million. The decreases corresponded mainly to the application of the exemption to avoid double taxation on dividends for the sum of Euros 1,692 million (see Note 16.1).
The increases in temporary differences corresponded to long-term employee provisions and workforce restructuring plans for Euros 14 million. The decreases related to the application of non-current employee provisions and workforce restructuring plans for Euros 49 million, application of the provision for liabilities amounting to Euros 18 million, and recovery of the adjustments made for the limitation on tax-deductible depreciation (Law 16/2012 of 27 December 2012) for Euros 1 million.

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA maintained a committed and irrevocable inter-company credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International N.V. for the amount of Euros 1 billion which at those dates had not been drawn down in any amount (see Note 12.2).
Article 41 of the Articles of Association states that "the remuneration of Directors will comprise the following items: a fixed monthly salary and per diems for attendance at each meeting of the company's management bodies and their committees.
Maximum global and annual compensation, for the Board as a whole and including all aforementioned items, shall be established by the General Shareholders' Meeting and will remain in effect until it resolves upon an amendment thereof.
The Board itself shall be in charge of determining the exact amount to be paid in each fiscal year, subject to the limits set forth by the General Shareholders' Meeting, as well as distributing such amount between the aforementioned items and between the directors in the manner, time and proportion as freely determined, taking into account the functions and responsibilities entrusted to each Director, whether they belong to any of the Board's Committees and all other relevant objective circumstances.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, article 30 of the Board of Directors' Regulations states that directors, regardless of their type of directorship, can waive the right to receive remuneration based on a fixed monthly allocation and/or per diems to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and/or Committees.
The amount of said per diem shall be, at the most, the amount which, in accordance with the above paragraphs, is determined to be the fixed monthly allocation. The Board of Directors may, within such limit, determine the amount of the allowances.
The remuneration contemplated in the preceding sections, deriving from membership on the Board of Directors, shall be compatible with other remuneration, indemnity payments, contributions to insurance schemes or any other professional or labour earnings pertaining to the Directors for any other executive or advisory duties which, as the case may be, they perform for the company other than those of collegiate supervision and decision-making characteristic of their status as Directors, which shall be subject to the appropriate applicable legal scheme.
Without prejudice to the above-mentioned remunerations, the Executive Directors remuneration may also consist of the transfer of Company shares, options over them or remuneration based on the value of the shares. The application of this remuneration model requires the agreement of the General Shareholders' Meeting,
expressing, where appropriate, the maximum number of shares to be assigned during each financial year as part of this remuneration system, the strike price and the system used to calculate the strike price of share options, the value of the shares taken as a reference, when appropriate, the term of the remuneration plan and any other conditions deemed appropriate.
Thus members of the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. received remuneration in their capacity as Directors of the Company:
Details of the annual fixed remuneration received by the members of the Board of Directors, based on the post held, in 2019 and 2018, are as follows:

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, in terms of remuneration, the Company had not issued any guarantees to senior managers who were not also executive directors.
These clauses are the same in all the contracts of the Executive Directors and senior managers of the Company and of its Group and were approved by the Board of Directors following the report of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (ARC) and provide for termination benefits in the event of termination of the employment relationship and a post-contractual non-competition clause.
With regard to management personnel, although this type of termination clause is not the norm, the contents of cases in which it arises are similar to the scenarios of general employment relationships.
The regime for these clauses is as follows.
These conditions are alternatives to those arising from changes to the pre-existing employment relationship or its termination due to early retirement for senior executives.
Post-contractual non-competition clause: In the vast majority of contracts, senior management personnel are required not to engage in a business activity in competition with ENDESA for a period of 2 years; as consideration, the executive is entitled to an amount of up to 1x the annual fixed remuneration.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA the number of executive directors and senior managers with guarantee clauses was 11 and 13, respectively.
To increase the transparency of listed companies, the members of the Board of Directors have disclosed, to the best of their knowledge, the direct or indirect stakes they and their related parties hold in companies with the same, analogous or similar corporate purpose as that of ENDESA, S.A., and the positions or duties they perform therein.

In accordance with Article 229 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the direct or indirect situations of conflict of interest involving members of the Board of Directors with the interest of the Company, along with how they were handled in 2019, were as follows:
Distribution by gender: At 31 December 2019, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. was composed of 11 directors, 2 of which are women. At 31 December 2018, there were 11 Directors, 2 of which were women.
In 2019 and 2018 there were no damages caused by acts or omissions of the Directors that would have required use to be made of the third-party liability insurance premium held through the Company. This insures both the Company's directors and employees with management responsibilities.
In 2019, this premium totalled Euros 352 thousand (Euros 327 thousand in 2018).
ENDESA's variable long-term remuneration is takes the form of the so-called Strategic Incentive, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the commitment of the employees who occupy positions of greatest responsibility in achieving the Group's strategic objectives. The Plan is structured through successive threeyear programmes, which start every year from 1 January 2010. Since 2014, the plans have foreseen a deferral of the payment and the need for the Executive to be active on the date of liquidation thereof; and payments are made on 2 dates: 30% of the incentive will be paid, and the remaining 70%, if applicable, 2 years after the end of the Plan.
Within the framework of the ENDESA Loyalty Plan, the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 26 April 2017, approved the long-term remuneration schemes for 2017-2019. The Company also submitted the long-term 2018-2020 remuneration scheme for approval to the General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 23 April 2018, and the long-term 2019-2021 remuneration scheme to the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 12 April 2019.
These schemes are linked, among other indicators, to share price performance and are directed at the Chairman, the CEO and ENDESA directors with strategic responsibility.
Specifically, the programmes referred to above have the following objectives:
a) An objective called "Total Shareholders' Return (TSR) of ENDESA", defined as the average value of the TSR of ENDESA relative to the average value of the TSR of the Euro-Stoxx Utilities Index, selected as the Comparable Group, for the accrual period.
This indicator measures the total return of a share as the sum of its parts:
There is an ex-post control of long-term variable remuneration in the form of a malus clause that allows the Company not to pay variable remuneration accrued and not received, in addition to a clawback clause which obliges participants in these plans to repay the variable remuneration received in the event that data used for its calculation or payment are proved to be clearly erroneous after the settlement date.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee (ARC) may submit a motion to the Board of Directors not to pay or to demand reimbursement of variable components of remuneration if it is shown that payment was based on data, which later proved to be incorrect.
The amount accrued in relation to these Loyalty Plan programmes in 2019 totalled Euros 4 million (Euros 5 million in 2018).
The Company's average headcount in 2019 and 2018, detailed by category and gender, was as follows:
1 Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) (%) = Ordinary EBIT / Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI).
2 Ordinary EBIT (Euros Millions) = EBIT adjusted for unbudgeted extraordinary effects.
3 Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI) (Euros Millions) = ((Equity + Net Financial Debt – Cash and cash equivalents)n + (Equity + Net Financial Debt – Cash and other cash equivalents)n-1) / 2

The Company has taken out insurance policies to cover the risk of damage to property, plant and equipment of the parent company and the subsidiaries in which it has a shareholding of 50% or more or of which it has effective control. The limits and coverage are appropriate to the types of risk and country of operation.
Moreover, in certain assets, the possible loss of profits that could result from stoppages at the plants is covered.
Possible claims against the Company by third parties due to the performance of its activity are also covered.
During 2019 and 2018 no current expenses were recognised in respect of environmental activities..
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the Company did not have any environmental assets and it did not acquire or dispose of any environmental assets or receive any grants for that purpose during 2019 and 2018.
At the date of issue of these consolidated financial statements, The Company's directors consider that there are no known or probable environmental expenses relating to these risks for which provisions should be made.
After more than two years of fruitless negotiations, on 4 December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, General Workers Union (UGT), and ENDESA agreed to submit to a "binding equity arbitration" some of the most significant aspects discussed in the negotiation of the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". As part of the submission to binding arbitration, in December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, the General Workers Union (UGT), agreed to withdraw the Appeal lodged with the Supreme Court against the Judgment of the National Court of 26 March 2019 in favour of ENDESA, endorsing the Company's interpretation that recognizes the legality of the termination of certain social benefits to passive employees as a consequence of the termination of the "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". The other organisations with union representation in ENDESA, that is, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and the Independent Energy Trade Union (SIE), declined to submit to the aforementioned arbitration, continuing with the said Appeal in Cassation to the Supreme Court (see Note 11.3).
ENDESA and the majority union, the General Workers Union (UGT), agreed before the Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service ("SIMA") the procedure and matters subject to "binding equity arbitration", and that the terms of the decision of the arbitrator would be incorporated into the Collective Agreement that was agreed upon. Following the appointment by common accord of Mr Manuel Pimentel Siles as sole arbitrator, the procedure was carried out during the months of December 2019 and January 2020 in the terms agreed by the parties, ending with the issue of a mandatory Arbitration Award on 21 January 2020.
In accordance with the agreement between the parties, the content of the Arbitration Award and other aspects resulting from the agreement at the negotiating table not submitted to arbitration, were incorporated into the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" which was approved and signed by the Company and the Trade Union Section of the General Union of Workers' Union (UGT), and has effect since the UGT is the majority union in the Company, on 23 January 2020. On the same date, the new "Guarantee Framework Agreement" and "Agreement on Voluntary Suspension or Termination of Employment Contracts" were signed, in this case by all unions represented in ENDESA. Under the terms of Article 90 of the Workers' Statute, at the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, the registration of the Agreement signed by the parties is being processed by the competent labour authority.
Once the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" had been signed, a process was initiated within the Monitoring and Interpretation Committee to analyse and interpret the terms and measures of various matters and economic conditions covered by the arbitration decision and transferred in that Agreement, such as economic increases, salary updates, electricity supply, study grants, medical insurance and others. At the date of preparation of these Financial Statements, it is not possible to quantify the financial impact that such actions would have in the year 2020, since significant economic conditions and items such as those mentioned above are pending analysis and interpretation. The parties involved are working together in the transition process necessary to proceed to its definitive economic quantification and formalization.
With regard to the Monitoring Committee of the "Framework Agreement on Guarantees" indicated in the previous paragraphs, on 28 January 2020, the Company informed the trade union representatives that it will not exercise the power to terminate the individual agreement to suspend the employment relationship for certain individual contracts signed with employees. The cost to be borne by the Company during the period for which, in accordance with this commitment, it cannot avoid the contract being suspended amounts to Euros 39 million.
Except for the matters referred to in the foregoing paragraphs, no other significant events have taken place between 31 December 2019 and the date of authorisation for issue of these Financial Statements that have not been reflected therein.
These Financial Statements are presented on the basis of accounting principles generally accepted in Spain. Consequently, certain accounting practices applied by the Company that conform to generally accepted accounting principles in Spain may not conform to other generally accepted accounting principles in other countries.

ENDESA, S.A., "the Company", is a holding company, so its income essentially depends on dividends from its subsidiaries and its expenses on the cost of its debt. Provisions for investments can also be made or reversed based on changes in the value of its subsidiaries.
Net revenues in 2019 amounted to Euros 2,137 million, of which Euros 1,855 million corresponded to income from dividends from Group Companies and Associates and Euros 282 million to income from the provision of services to dependent companies.
The details of ENDESA's income from dividends in 2019 are as follows.
| Millions of Euros | |
|---|---|
| Company | Dividend |
| ENDESA Red, S.A.U. | 1,383 |
| ENDESA Energía, S.A.U. | 347 |
| ENDESA Financiación Filiales, S.A.U. | 118 |
| ENDESA Medios y Sistemas, S.L.U. | 7 |
| TOTAL | 1,855 |
In 2019, operating income amounted to Euros 2,147 million, while operating expenses totalled Euros 384 million, generating operating profit for the year of Euros 1,763 million.
A financial loss amounting to Euros 183 million was reported for 2019, basically as a consequence of the financial expenses on loans from Group Companies and Associates amounting to Euros 172 million.
Pre-tax profit for the period was Euros 1,580 million.
In 2019, Euros 62 million of income was recognised from accrued income tax. This is because the dividends received from Group Companies, which are the Company's main source of income, are not taxed since these companies' profits have already been taxed in the consolidated income tax return filed for the Group, which is represented in Spain by ENEL Iberia, S.L.U.
Net income for 2019 amounted to Euros 1,642 million.
In 2019 extensions of credit lineslines to mature in March 2022 were signed with various financial institutions and the limits of some of them were increased so that the total now amounts to Euros 2,125 million.
ENDESA, S.A. completed the Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) issuance programme through International ENDESA B.V. and embarked upon a new Euro Commercial Paper (ECP) issuance programme through ENDESA S.A., the outstanding balance at 31 December 2019 being Euros 796 million with renewal backed by irrevocable bank credit lines.
In the framework of the financial transaction arranged by means of a green loan from the European Investment Bank (EIB) in 2018, on 19 March 2019, Euros 335 million were drawn down. This drawdown is at a floating interest rate, with a 15-year maturity, repayments starting in March 2023.
ENDESA, S.A. signed a green loan amounting to Euros 300 million with Spain's Official Credit Institute (ICO), drawing it down on 20 May 2019. This drawdown is at a variable rate of interest and matures in 12 years, with repayments starting in May 2022.
On 30 June 2019, ENDESA, S.A. signed the extension of the inter-company credit line with ENEL Finance International N.V. for an amount of Euros 1 billion, extending its maturity to 30 June 2022.
Events after the reporting period are described in Note 21 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA, S.A.'s future profits will essentially depend on the dividends it receives from its subsidiaries, which are basically determined by the profits made by those companies.
The Company's Directors believe that ENDESA S.A. will receive sufficient dividends from its subsidiaries to meet its operating and financial costs.
As a result of this economic-financial strategy, and barring any exceptional circumstances, which would be duly announced, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A., at a meeting on 26 November 2019, approved the following shareholder remuneration policy for 2019-2022:
The intention of the Board of Directors is that the ordinary dividend be paid exclusively in cash in two payments (January and July) on such specific date as may be determined in each case and which will be appropriately publicised. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ability of ENDESA, S.A. to distribute dividends among its shareholders depends on numerous factors, including the generation of profits and the availability of distributable reserves, and no assurance can be given as to such dividends as may be paid in future years or as to their amount.
With regard to the year 2019, in its meeting of 26 November 2019, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. resolved to distribute to its shareholders an interim dividend from 2019 profit for a gross amount of Euros 0.70 per share, for a total of Euros 741 million paid on 2 January 2020.
The proposed appropriation of profit for 2019 to be presented for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting by ENDESA's Board of Directors will be a total gross dividend of Euros 1.475 per share. Taking into account the interim dividend referred to in the foregoing paragraph, the complementary dividend in respect of 2019 will be a gross amount of Euros 0.775 per share.
Information on ENDESA, S.A.'s General Risk Control and Management Policy is included in Note 13 to the financial statements of ENDESA S.A. for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The General Risk Management and Control Policy establishes the basic principles and the general framework of management and control of risks of all kinds that might affect the attainment of its objectives, ensuring that they are systematically identified, analysed, evaluated, managed and controlled within the established levels of risk.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy seeks to guide and steer the set of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors of ENDESA S.A. to precisely delineate the acceptable level of risk, so that the managers, staff and service functions of the various Business Lines can maximise the profitability of the Company, preserve or increase its equity and ensure a given degree of achievement, preventing uncertain and future events from having a negative influence on the achievement of the company's profitability objectives, its operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained manner over time, providing an adequate level of guarantees to shareholders and safeguarding their interests, as well as those of customers and other stakeholders.
The General Risk Management and Control Policy is developed and supplemented by other specific risk policies of the Business Lines, staff and service functions, as well as by the limits established for optimal risk management in each of them.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented through an Internal Risk Control and Management System (Spanish acronym: SCIGR), which comprises an organisation, principles, a regulatory system and a risk control and management process.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR in the Spanish abbreviation) conforms to a model based on the one hand on an ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or benchmark sectors as regards risk management, homogeneous measurement criteria within the same type of risk, segregation of risk managers and controllers, and, on the other hand, on ensuring a link between the risk assumed and the resources needed to operate the business, ensuring an appropriate balance between the risk assumed and the objectives set by the Board of Directors of ENDESA S.A.
The Company's risk control and management model is aligned with international standards following a methodology based on the three lines of defence model.
The organisation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) is implemented through independent risk management and control functions that ensure appropriate segregation of duties. The main governing bodies in the risk control process are:
Risk Committee: The Risk Committee supervises the management and monitoring of all risks other than those of a criminal nature and those related to the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF), referring the results of its deliberations and conclusions to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC).
The General Risk Management and Control Policy defines the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) as an interwoven system of rules, processes, controls and reporting systems in which overall risk is defined as the risk resulting from the overall view of all risks to which the Company is exposed, taking into account the mitigating effects for the various exposures and risk classes, allowing for consolidation and appraisal of risk exposure of the Company's various business units and the development of the corresponding management information for taking decisions on risk and the appropriate use of capital.
The risk control and management process consists in the identification, evaluation, monitoring and management over time of the various risks, and takes account of the main risks to which the Company is exposed, whether of internal or external origin:
The General Risk Control and Management Policy set and approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, SA, constitutes the central element of the system from which other specific documents and policies are derived, for example, the "Policy on Management and Control of Tax Risks" and the "Criminal Compliance and Anti-Bribery Policy", which are approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, SA and in which catalogues of risks and controls are defined.
In addition, in view of the growing interest in the control and management of the risks to which companies are exposed and given how complicated it is becoming to identify them from a comprehensive point of view, it is important for employees to take part at all levels in this process. In this regard a risk mailbox has been created for employees to help identify market risks and come up with suggestions for measures to mitigate them, thereby complementing the existing top-down risk control and management systems and mailboxes and specific procedures for reporting breaches of ethical behaviour, criminal risks and employment risks.
Information regarding ENDESA's risk management and derivative financial instruments is provided in Notes 13.1 and 14 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Annual Corporate Governance Report, which describes ENDESA, S.A.'s risk management and control systems, forms an integral part of this Management Report (see Section 12. Annual Corporate Governance Report required by Article 538 of Royal Decree Law 1/2010 of 2 July 2010 approving the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act in this Management Report).
ENDESA, S.A. is aware that the sustainable compliance of its corporate responsibilities must be accompanied by a constant quest for excellence in the areas of business ethics in all its decision-making processes, something that must be understood in a corporate environment where strict respect for the most advanced national and international rules, practices and principles in this area is one of the cornerstones of its business activities.
As regards the prevention of criminal behaviour, Organic Law 5/2010 of 22 June 2010, amending Organic Law 10/1995 of 23 November 1995 on the Criminal Code not only included offences applicable to legal persons, but also referred to the need to establish surveillance and control measures to prevent and detect them. This legal regime was reformed by Organic Law 1/2015 of 30 March 2015, detailing the requirements for control and management systems that allow legal persons to prove their diligence in the field of criminal prevention and detection. The Organic Law 1/2019, of 20 February 2019, again amended the Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November 1995, of the Criminal Code, to transpose European Union Directives in the financial and terrorism fields, and to address issues of a nature international.
In line with these legal requirements, ENDESA, S.A. has developed internal regulatory instruments that have satisfied the need for adequate control and management systems applied in the area of criminal detection and prevention, particularly in conduct aimed at preventing bribery.
This system comprises the following standards applicable to ENDESA, S.A.:
The Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy was added to these internal rules. Together with those mentioned above, they all make up ENDESA, S.A.'s Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System, an integrated body of provisions that not only respects Spanish legal requirements in this area, but is also sufficient to meet the expectations reasonably placed on organisations that operate with the highest levels of commitment in advanced markets, such as ENDESA, S.A.
Since October 2017, ENDESA, S.A.'s Criminal and Anti-bribery Compliance Management System has been certified by the Spanish standards body AENOR in accordance with "UNE 19601" (Compliance Management) and "UNE-ISO 37001" (Anti-bribery Management) Standards.
Verification of the correct application of the "Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System" corresponds to the Audit and Compliance Committee, for which purposes it uses the Supervision Committee, which is a collegiate body endowed with autonomous powers of initiative and control and independence in the exercise of its functions and whose powers and principles of action are established in its Regulations. The Supervision Committee reports solely and exclusively to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC), which has specific functions including the prevention of criminal risks according to its operating Regulations.
In 2019, the company complied in full with all the processes established for the correct application of the Code of Ethics.
In 2019, ENDESA received, either through the Ethical Channel or other means, a complaint related to corruption, the investigation of which is closed at the date of preparation of this Management Report.
From this complaint received and closed related to corruption, it has been verified a breach of the Code of Ethics, which has been derived for the management of a specialist following the established protocol.
The quality and reliability of the financial reporting that listed companies disseminate to the market is a fundamental element for the Company's credibility, which significantly affects the value that the market assigns to it, such that the dissemination of incorrect or low quality financial information could cause a significant decrease in the value of the Company, with the consequent damage to its shareholders.
The Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) is a component of the company's internal control system and consists of a complete set of processes that ensure reasonable certainty regarding the reliability of both internal and external financial information. The ENDESA, S.A.'s Internal Control Unit is the area responsible for identifying the most relevant processes, activities, risks and controls of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) that it considers material to provide reasonable assurance that the information disclosed externally by ENDESA, S.A. is reliable and appropriate.
The documentation of the processes forming part of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) of ENDESA, S.A.contains detailed descriptions of the activities relating to the preparation of financial information from its beginning to its registration in accounting and its subsequent external publication, through its authorisation and process and has been prepared with the following basic objectives:
Every six months, ENDESA, S.A. carries out an evaluation process of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) in which each person responsible for the controls of the SCIIF evaluates both its design and its effectiveness. Within the model, an ongoing verification process of the SCIIF is also carried out by an independent expert. The results of both processes are reported to:
ENDESA, S.A. has established a process of control and management of risks that allows it to obtain a complete vision of all the risks to which it is exposed, considering the mitigation effects between the different exposures and categories thereof, as well as the preparation of the corresponding management information for decisionmaking in terms of risk and appropriate use of capital.
The Risk Committee supervises the management and monitoring of all risks excluding those of a criminal nature and those related to the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF). The mission of the Risk Committee is:
The Risk Control Area is the area delegated by the Risk Committee to define the procedures and norms of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR), to ensure that all the risks in its area of responsibility that affect the entity are homogeneously and periodically identified, characterised, quantified and properly managed, including off-balance sheet risks, and to monitor risk exposure and the control activities implemented.
Following the provisions of the internal operating instructions, Risk Control unit is responsible for developing, for the risks in its scope of application:
To carry out its functions, Risk Control relies on other areas and committees that have specific and complementary risk control and management models and policies. Thus, for example, in tax matters, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. has also approved a Policy for the Management and Control of Tax Risks that seeks to guide and direct all the strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the managers of the Tax Affairs Unit and of the different areas of the organisation whose functions affect the company's taxation to achieve the objectives set by the company's Tax Strategy regarding the control and management of tax risks.
As the Parent of a group of companies, ENDESA, S.A. is exposed to the same risks as Group of companies that it heads, since any risk materialising in a subsidiary will affect the value of ENDESA, S.A.'s portfolio of investments and associated dividend payments.
ENDESA, S.A.'s activities are carried out against a backdrop in which outside factors may affect the performance of its operations and its earnings.
The main risks that may affect ENDESA's operations are as follows:
| Risk | Section | Description | Metric | Significance (3) |

(4) They correspond to risks whose impact could be difficult to quantify economically (in general, high impact and probability, after the mitigation mechanisms implemented, very low or very difficult to determine).
ENDESA's activities are subject to extensive regulation regarding tariffs and other factors of its activities in Spain and Portugal, which in many regards determines how ENDESA carries on its activity and the income it receives from its products and services.
ENDESA is subject to a complex set of regulations applied by both public and private agencies, including Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC"). The introduction of new standards, or the amendment of those already in effect could have a negative impact on ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
In addition, the European Union has established an operating framework for the various Member States, which includes, inter alia, objectives related to emissions, efficiency and renewable energies.
The introduction of new requirements, or amendments to existing ones, could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial positions and cash flows if it were to be unable to adapt and manage correctly the environment arising from them.
ENDESA maintains a firm commitment in the fight against climate change and therefore decisions are made at the highest level of Management. Climate change is one of the main pillars of the Company's strategy, and it is the Board of Directors that is responsible for its development and implementation.
As proof of this commitment, ENDESA has assumed the objective of achieving a mix of emission-free generation in 2050 and a reduction of specific carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 70% in 2030 relative to 2017. These objectives, which involve the evolution of the existing generation facilities towards an emission-free model, imply the alignment of the company with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and with the latest findings of Science .
In developing the business strategy, ENDESA uses scenarios on climate change. For the physical risks, the climatic scenarios published in the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are used, while for the transition risks, the Drafts National Integrated Energy and Climate Plans (PNIEC) of Spain and Portugal are used.
The effects of climate change are already noticeable in the global socio-economic reality and, in the most likely scenario, will have significant consequences for the viability and development of sectors such as energy. Climate change planning must necessarily incorporate a new vision in which the transition to a decarbonised economy and adaptation to its effects are integrated into the decision-making process.
Climate change has consequences for the operation of assets due to the increase in temperature, the availability of renewable resources (water, wind and solar) and the frequency and intensity of extreme events.
The risks associated with climate change affect the price of commodities (coal, gas, oil, etc.) and can cause regulatory changes that modify or preclude the operation of the most carbon-intensive assets, which imply a high price within the framework of the Emissions Trading Regime, hindering the operation of the most carbonintensive technologies and making it difficult for electricity to compete with other energy alternatives which do not have to pass on the cost of CO2 emission rights.
Additionally, climate change promotes and encourages the development and extensive use of technologies such as renewable energy, energy storage through batteries, energy efficiency and smart grids, which requires monitoring and leading innovation, as well as new investments to maintain the competitive position of the Company and protect the image of ENDESA in a context in which society's and customers' perceptions of its contributing to or turning its back on organising the transition to an economy with low CO2 emissions are subject to change.
ENDESA presents each year its Strategic Plan, which includes the strategic guidelines and objectives for the company's economic, financial and equity growth, as well as its contribution to society.
The main assumptions on which the forecasts and objectives of the Strategic Plan are based are related to:
ENDESA cannot guarantee that its prospects will be fulfilled in the terms communicated, since these are based, among other issues:
The ENDESA Strategic Plan foresees a significant investment effort in electricity production and distribution systems and facilities. The execution of these investments is dependent on market and regulatory conditions. If the necessary conditions for the viability of the plants do not exist, ENDESA may have to cease production at the facilities and, if necessary, begin the task of dismantling them. These closures would involve a reduction in installed capacity and output that support customer energy sales and, therefore, could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Consequently, and in accordance with accounting standards, ENDESA assesses throughout the year and in any case at the end of each year whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount to determine the extent of any impairment loss.
b.1. ENDESA's business is largely dependent on the constant supply of large amounts of fuel to generate electricity; on the supply of electricity and natural gas used for its own consumption and supply; and on the supply of other commodities, the prices of which are subject to market forces which may affect the price and the amount of energy sold by ENDESA.
The contribution margin on ENDESA's liberalised businesses in 2019 was Euros 2,722 million, most of which corresponds to liberalised activities subject to the effects of competition and market volatility. These activities require purchases of gas, electricity and raw materials, as follows:
ENDESA is exposed to market price risks in relation to the purchase of fuel (including gas and coal) and the price of carbon emission rights required to generate electricity, for procuring gas and supply activities. In this connection, fuel price fluctuations in international markets may affect the contribution margin.
ENDESA has entered into electricity and natural gas supply contracts based on certain assumptions regarding future market prices for electricity and natural gas. Any deviation from the assumptions made when these supply contracts were signed could give rise to an obligation to purchase electricity or natural gas at prices that are higher than those envisaged in the contracts. In the event of a market price adjustment relative to the estimates made, a deviation in ENDESA's assumptions relative to its fuel needs, or a regulatory change affecting prices as a whole and how they have been established, and if its risk management strategies were inadequate in the face of such changes, ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
ENDESA has signed certain natural gas supply contracts which include binding "take or pay" clauses which compel it to either acquire the fuel it has agreed to contractually or to pay even if it does not acquire such fuel. The terms of these contracts have been established based on certain assumptions regarding future electricity and gas demand. Any deviation from the assumptions used could give rise to an obligation to purchase more fuel than necessary or to sell excess fuel on the market at current prices.
ENDESA is exposed to foreign currency risk, mainly in relation to the payments it must make in international markets to acquire energy-related commodities, especially natural gas and international coal, where the prices of these commodities are usually denominated in US dollars.
Therefore, this means that the fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to currency risk and an exchange rate sensitivity analysis are provided in Note 13.2 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Adverse economic conditions could have a negative impact on energy demand and the ability of ENDESA's consumers to fulfil their payment obligations. In times of economic recession, as experienced by Spain and Portugal in recent years, electricity demand usually falls off, adversely affecting the Company's results.
If the economic situation in Spain, Portugal or other euro zone economies deteriorates, it could adversely affect energy consumption and, consequently, ENDESA's business activities, financial position, operating results and cash flows would be negatively affected.
Apart from this, the financial conditions in the international markets pose a challenge for ENDESA's economic situation due to the potential impact on its business of the level of public debt, low growth rates, the rating of sovereign bonds at the international level and in particular in euro zone countries, and the monetary expansion measures in the credit market. Changes in any of these factors could affect ENDESA's access to capital markets and the terms on which it obtains financing, consequently affecting its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
In addition to any economic problems which could arise at the international level, ENDESA faces a situation of uncertainty at the political level, in Spain and internationally, which could adversely affect the Company's economic and financial position. Specifically, it is considered that the impact of Brexit and other international events is not material for ENDESA.
ENDESA cannot guarantee that the international or euro zone economic situation will not deteriorate, or that an event of a political nature will not have a significant impact on the markets, thus affecting its business, its economic situation, results and cash flows.
ENDESA's electricity production depends on levels of natural resources, availability of plants and market conditions. The production of renewable power plants depends on levels of rainfall, sunshine and wind existing in the geographical areas where the hydroelectric, wind and photovoltaic generation facilities are located. Therefore, if there are droughts or low levels of wind or sunshine or other circumstances adversely affecting generation from renewable sources, ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Demand not covered by renewable sources is produced by thermal power plants, whose production, as well as their margin, depends on the competitiveness between different technologies. A year with low rainfall, few hours of sunshine or little wind leads to a decline in hydroelectric, solar or wind output, in turn increasing the output of thermal power plants, at greater cost, and therefore an increase in the price of electricity and costs of buying energy. In a wet year, with more sunshine and wind, the opposite effects occur. In the event of adverse conditions due to low levels of resources, electricity generation will come more from thermal plants and ENDESA's operating expenses will increase. ENDESA's inability to manage changes in natural resource conditions could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
In an average year, it has been estimated that hydroelectric production can vary by ± 28%, wind by ± 5% and photovoltaic by ± 1%. Thus, in 2019 the generation of electricity in hydroelectric plants in ENDESA was 5,861 GWh, when for an equivalent power, the production in 2018 was 8,459 GWh.
Weather conditions and in particular seasonality have a significant impact on demand for electricity, with electricity consumption peaking in summer and winter. Seasonal changes in demand are attributed to various weather-related factors such as the climate, the amount of natural light, and the use of light, heating and air conditioning. Changes in demand due to weather conditions can have a significant effect on the profitability of the business. Additionally, ENDESA must make certain projections and estimates regarding weather conditions when negotiating its contracts and a significant divergence in rainfall and other weather conditions envisaged could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, adverse weather conditions could impact the regular supply of energy due to damage to the network, with the resulting interruption in services which could compel ENDESA to compensate its customers due to delays or disruptions in the supply of energy.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing circumstances could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA maintains relationships with a large number of customers, 10.6 million electricity customers and 1.6 million gas customers at 31 December 2019.
ENDESA's business activities are carried out in an environment of fierce competition. Although ENDESA's losing individual customers would not have a significant impact on its business as a whole, inability to maintain stable relationships with customers could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to variable interest rates. Changes in interest rates could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
At 31 December 2019, gross financial debt amounted to Euros 5,715 million. 53% of gross financial debt before cash flows and fair value hedges accrued interest at a fixed rate, while the remaining 47% was referenced to variable interest. Borrowings at floating interest rates are mainly linked to EURIBOR.
Taking account of cash flow hedges considered effective, 67% of gross financial debt was protected from interest rate risk at 31 December 2019. Taking account of fair value hedges too, this percentage was 67% at 31 December 2019.
Information relating to interest rate risk and an interest rate sensitivity analysis are provided in Note 13.1 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA is confident that it will be able to generate funds internally (self-financing), access bank financing through long-term credit lines, access short-term capital markets as a source of liquidity and access the longterm debt market in order to finance its organic growth programme and other capital requirements, including its commitments arising from the ongoing maintenance of its current facilities. Furthermore, ENDESA occasionally needs to refinance its existing debt. This debt includes long-term credit lines, obtained from both banks and companies of the ENEL Group, and financial investments.
If ENDESA were to be unable to access capital on reasonable terms, refinance its debt, settle its capital expenses and implement its strategy, the Company could be adversely affected. Turmoil on the capital markets, a possible reduction in ENDESA's creditworthiness or possible restrictions on financing conditions imposed on the credit lines in the event that financial ratios were to deteriorate, could increase the Company's financing costs or adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets.
A lack of financing could force ENDESA to dispose of or sell its assets to offset the liquidity shortfall in order to pay the amounts owed and this sale could occur in circumstances that prevent ENDESA from obtaining the best price for said assets. Therefore, if ENDESA were unable to access financing on acceptable terms, its business, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA had negative working capital of Euros 802 million. The undrawn amount on the Company's long-term credit lines provide assurance that ENDESA can obtain sufficient financial resources to continue its operations, realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the statement of financial position.
The information on liquidity risk is included in Note 13.3 of the Notes to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the information on the main transactions carried out by ENDESA is set out in Section 2 of this Management Report.
Apart from this, the conditions in which ENDESA accesses the capital markets or other means of financing, whether within the Company or on the credit market, are highly dependent on its credit rating, which in turn is dependent on that of its parent company, ENEL. ENDESA's capacity to access the markets and financing could therefore be affected, in part, by the credit and financial position of ENEL, to the extent that ENEL can influence the availability of inter-company financing for ENDESA or the conditions under which the Company accesses the capital market.
In this connection, the deterioration of ENEL's credit rating and, consequently, that of ENDESA, could limit ENDESA's ability to access the capital markets or any other means of financing (or refinancing) from third parties or increase the cost of these transactions which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
In its commercial and financial activities, ENDESA is exposed to the risk that its counterparty may be unable to meet all or some of its obligations, both payment obligations arising from goods already delivered and services already rendered and payment obligations related to expected cash flows, in accordance with the financial derivative contracts entered into, cash deposits or financial assets. In particular, ENDESA assumes the risk that the consumer may not be able to fulfil its payment obligations for the supply of energy, including all transmission and distribution costs.
ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will not incur losses as a result of the non-payment of commercial or financial receivables and, therefore, the failure of one or various significant counterparties to fulfil their obligations could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to credit risk is provided in Note 13.4 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
c.2. ENDESA's business could be negatively affected by inability to maintain its relations with suppliers or because the supply of suppliers available was insufficient in terms of quantity and/or quality, or due to suppliers' failing to maintain the conditions of service provided, limiting the possibilities of operability and business continuity.
The relationships ENDESA currently maintains with the main industry suppliers and service providers are essential for the development and growth of its business, and will continue to be so in the future. Furthermore, certain of these relationships are and will continue to be managed by ENEL, S.p.A.
ENDESA's dependence on these relationships could affect its ability to negotiate contracts with these parties under favourable conditions. Although ENDESA's supplier portfolio is sufficiently diverse, if any of these relationships is severed or terminated, ENDESA cannot guarantee the replacement of any significant supplier or service provider within an appropriate time frame or on similar terms.
ENDESA makes significant purchases of fuels, materials and services. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that:
If ENDESA is unable to negotiate contracts with its suppliers on favourable terms, if such suppliers are unable to comply with their obligations or if their relationship with ENDESA is severed, and ENDESA is unable to find an appropriate replacement, its business, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
The construction of power generation and supply facilities can be time-consuming and highly complex. This means that investment needs to be planned well in advance of the estimated start-up date of the facility and, therefore, the Group may need to adapt its decisions to changes in market conditions. This may entail significant additional costs not originally planned that may affect the return on these types of projects.
In connection with the development of such facilities, ENDESA generally has to obtain the related administrative authorisations and permits, acquire land purchase or lease agreements, sign equipment procurement and construction contracts, operation and maintenance agreements, fuel supply and transport agreements, off-take arrangements and obtain sufficient financing to meet its capital and debt requirements.
The Industrial Plan approved by the Board of ENDESA, S.A. on 26 November 2019 contemplates an investment target, net of subsidies and assets assigned by customers, of Euros 7.7 billion between 2019 and 2022.
Factors that may affect ENDESA's ability to construct new facilities include:
Any of these factors may cause delays in completion or commencement of the Group's construction projects and may increase the cost of planned projects. In addition, if ENDESA is unable to complete these projects, any costs incurred in connection with such projects may not be recoverable.
If ENDESA faces problems relating to the development and construction of new facilities, its business, results, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected.
d.2. ENDESA's activity may be affected by failures, breakdowns, problems in carrying out the planned work, or other problems that may result in unscheduled unavailability and other operational risks.
For the development of its activities, ENDESA has a large volume of assets relating to its activities which include, among others:
ENDESA is exposed to risks of breakdowns or accidents that temporarily interrupt the operation of the plants or interrupt the service to customers. To mitigate these risks there are prevention and protection strategies, including predictive and preventive maintenance techniques in line with international best practices.
ENDESA cannot guarantee that during the development of the activities, direct or indirect losses cannot arise from inappropriate internal processes, technological failures, human error or certain external events, such as accidents at facilities, labour disputes and natural disasters. These risks and dangers could cause explosions, floods or other circumstances which could cause the total loss of the energy generation and distribution facilities; damage to or the deterioration or destruction of ENDESA's facilities or those of third parties, environmental damage, delays in electricity generation and partial or total disruption of the activity. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA tries to obtain appropriate insurance cover in relation to the main risks associated with its business, including damage to the Company itself, general civil liability, environmental and nuclear power plant liability, and it is possible that insurance cover may not be available on the market on commercially reasonable terms. Likewise, the amounts for which ENDESA is insured may not be sufficient to cover the incurred losses in their entirety.
In the event of a partial or total loss of ENDESA's facilities or other assets, or a disruption to its activities, the funds ENDESA receives from its insurance may not be sufficient to cover the complete repair or replacement of the assets or losses incurred. Furthermore, in the event of a total or partial loss of ENDESA's facilities or other assets, part of the equipment may not be easily replaced, given its high value or its specific nature, or may not be easily or immediately available.
Similarly, the cover for this equipment or the limits to ENDESA's ability to replace it could disrupt or hinder its operations or significantly delay the course of its ordinary operations. Consequently, all of the above could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, ENDESA's insurance contracts are subject to constant review by its insurers. It is therefore possible that ENDESA may be unable to maintain its insurance contracts on terms similar to those currently in place in order to meet possible increases to premiums or coverage that becomes inaccessible. If ENDESA is unable to pass on a possible premium increase to its customers, these additional costs may adversely affect its business, results, financial position, and cash flows.
For the development of its activities ENDESA, S.A., at 31 December 2019 had a workforce of 1,332 employees (see Note 19.1 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019). In order for ENDESA to continue maintaining its position in the sector, it needs to guarantee talent management, especially with regard to digital skills.
The qualified labour market is highly competitive and ENDESA may not be able to successfully hire additional qualified staff or to replace outgoing staff with sufficiently qualified or effective employees. ENDESA's inability to retain or recruit essential staff could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA considers Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) a priority and a fundamental value to preserve at all times for all who work for the Company, without distinction between its own personnel and that of its partner companies. The inclusion of this target in ENDESA's strategy finds specific expression in:
ENDESA also carries out various annual initiatives in its long-term strategy of continuous improvement of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
The information related to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of ENDESA is presented in Section 7 of this Management Report and is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
The freedom of association of workers is guaranteed in ENDESA and in all contractor companies and suppliers with which it maintains a relationship.
The information relating to Social Dialogue is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
Within the scope of ENDESA in Spain, it should be noted that on 23 January 2020, the 5th ENDESA Framework Collective Agreement was signed, which implies that, since that date, a collective labour framework has been available, which adapts the labour regulation to the new requirements of the environment (see Note 21 to the financial statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Inability to meet these objectives could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
The use of information technologies in ENDESA is essential for the management of its activity. ENDESA's systems constitute a strategic element of differentiation with respect to the companies in the sector, given the magnitudes of business they handle in terms of technical complexity, volume, granularity, functionality and diversity of logic. Specifically, the main information systems available to ENDESA and the business processes they support are the following:
Management of ENDESA's business activity through these systems is key in order to perform its activity efficiently and achieve its corporate objectives. In constructing and operating these systems, ENDESA incorporates the highest security and contingency standards such that it guarantees operating efficiencies, as well as the continuity of the businesses and processes which contribute to attaining its corporate objectives.
These standards acquire an especially significant role in the process of digital transformation through which ENDESA is going, which leads to a growing exposure to potential cyberattacks, increasingly numerous and complex, and which can compromise the security of its systems, data, including those of a personal nature, affecting the continuity of operations, and consequently the quality in the relationship with its customers and the results, financial situation and cash flows of the organisation.
Security, therefore, has become a global and strategic issue. In this regard, ENDESA has policies, processes, methodologies, tools and protocols based on international standards and government initiatives properly audited. In particular, ENDESA has a cybersecurity performance and management model promoted by Senior Management which involves all business areas and the area responsible for the management of computer systems. This model is based on the identification, prioritisation and quantification of existing security risks, taking into account the impact of each system on ENDESA's business, and with the objective of adopting security actions for minimisation and mitigation.

e.4. ENDESA's activities are subject to wide-reaching environmental regulations and its inability to comply with current environmental regulations or requirements or any changes to the environmental regulations or requirements applicable could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA is subject to environmental regulations, which affect both the normal course of its operations and the development of its projects, leading to increased risks and costs. This regulatory framework requires licences, permits and other administrative authorisations be obtained in advance, as well as fulfilment of all the requirements provided for in such licences, permits and authorisations. As in any regulated company, ENDESA cannot guarantee that:
In addition, ENDESA is exposed to environmental risks inherent to its business, including those risks relating to the management of the waste, spills and emissions of the electricity production facilities, particularly nuclear power plants. ENDESA may be held responsible for environmental damage, for harm to employees or third parties, or for other types of damage associated with its energy generation, supply and distribution facilities, as well as port terminal activities.
Although the plants are prepared to comply with the prevailing environmental requirements, ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will be able to comply with the requirements imposed or that it will be able to avoid fines, administrative or other sanctions, or any other penalties and expenses related to compliance matters, including those related to the management of waste, spills and emissions from the electricity production units. Failure to comply with these regulations may give rise to liabilities, as well as fines, damages, sanctions and expenses, and even possibly to facility closures. Government authorities may also impose charges or taxes on the parties responsible in order to guarantee obligations are repaid. In the event ENDESA were accused of failing to comply with environmental regulations, its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
In this connection, ENDESA has taken out the following insurance policies:
The nuclear power plants are also insured against damage to their installations (including feedstock) and machinery breakdowns, with maximum coverage of US\$1.5 billion (approximately Euros 1.34 billion) for each power plant.
On 28 May 2011 the Spanish government published Law 12/2011 of 27 May 2011 on civil liability for nuclear damage or damage produced by radioactive materials, which raises operator liability to Euros 1.2 billion and allows coverage of this liability to be ensured in several ways. The entry into force of this regulation is in turn subject to the prior entry into force of the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (Paris Convention), and the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention which complements the latter (Brussels Convention) which, at the date on which this Management Report was drawn up, was pending ratification by some European Union member states.
However, it is possible ENDESA may face third-party damage claims. If ENDESA were to be held liable for damages generated by its facilities for amounts greater than its insurance policy cover or for damages which exceed the scope of the insurance policy's cover, its business, financial position or operating results could be adversely affected.
ENDESA is subject to compliance with the legislation and regulations on emissions of pollutants and on the storage and treatments of waste from fuel from nuclear power plants. It is possible that the Company will be subject to even stricter environmental regulations in the future. In the past, the approval of new regulations has required, and could require in the future, significant capital investment expenditures in order to comply with legal requirements. ENDESA cannot predict the increase in capital investments or the increase in operating costs or other expenses it may have to incur in order to comply with all environmental requirements and regulations. Nor can it predict whether it will be possible to pass on these costs. Thus, the costs associated with compliance with the regulations applicable could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
e.5. Past or future infringements of competition and antitrust laws could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA is subject to antitrust laws in the markets in which it operates. Infractions of these laws and other applicable regulations, especially in Spain where ENDESA's main market is located, could lead to the initiation of legal proceedings against ENDESA.
Pursuant to Organic Law 5/2010 of 22 June 2010, which amended Organic Law 10/1995 of 23 November 1995 on the Criminal Code incorporating offences applicable to legal persons, subsequently amended by Organic Law 1/2015 of 30 March 2015, ENDESA is subject to criminal liability for certain offences. The Organic Law 1/2019, of 20 February 2019, again amended the Organic Law 10/1995, of November 23 1995, of the Criminal Code, to transpose European Union Directives in the financial and terrorism fields, and to address issues of a nature international. Any violations of these laws could give rise to legal proceedings against ENDESA.
ENDESA has been, is and could be the object of legal investigations and proceedings regarding competition matters. Investigations regarding the infringement of competition and antitrust laws usually last several years and may be subject to rules that prevent the disclosure of information. Furthermore, infringements of these regulations may give rise to fines and other types of sanctions, which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration is provided in Note 11.3 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA's growth strategy has traditionally included, and continues to include, acquisition transactions which are subject to various competition laws. These regulations may affect ENDESA's ability to carry out strategic transactions.
ENDESA is party to various ongoing legal proceedings related to its business activities, including tax, regulatory and antitrust disputes. It is also subject to ongoing or possible tax audits. In general, ENDESA is exposed to third-party claims from all jurisdictions (criminal, civil, commercial, labour and economicadministrative) and in national and international arbitration proceedings.
ENDESA makes its best estimate to establish its provisions for legal contingencies, provided that the need to meet this obligation is probable and its amount can be reasonably quantified.
No guarantee can be given that ENDESA has allocated adequate provisions for contingencies, that it will be successful in the proceedings in which it expects a positive outcome, or that an unfavourable decision will not adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows. Furthermore, the Company cannot give any assurance that it will not be the object of new legal proceedings in the future, which, if the outcome were unfavourable, would have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration is provided in Note 11.3 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
e.7. In general, ENDESA could be affected by tax risks deriving either from a possible interpretation of the rules by the Tax Authorities that differs from that adopted by the Company or from an incorrect perception by third parties of the tax position adopted by the Company.
Currently, the tax risks to be managed and controlled are those deriving from uncertainties caused either by the possibility of the Tax Authorities demanding amounts in addition to those that ENDESA considers due (either due to failure to file returns or to a different interpretation of the applicable regulations) or by incorrect perception or assessment by third parties of events of a tax nature that are erroneously or unfairly attributed to the Company.
In 2019, ENDESA's total tax contribution amounted to Euros 4,113 million, of which 41% corresponded to taxes incurred that represented a cost to ENDESA and 59% referred to taxes collected by ENDESA in carrying out its economic activity. Spain has been the jurisdiction where ENDESA has most contributed to the payment of taxes, representing more than 92% of the total taxes paid and collected in the year 2019.
The information regarding ENDESA's tax contribution is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
With reference to ENDESA's situation framework regarding tax risks, it is worth highlighting:
ENDESA mitigates the occurrence of these risks through:
In spite of this firm commitment, any change in the interpretation of the tax regulations by the Tax Administration or the Administrative or Judicial Courts may have an impact on the fulfilment of ENDESA's fiscal obligations, being capable of affecting its financial situation and its cash flows .
e.8. ENDESA could be held liable for corporate income tax and Value Added Tax (VAT) charges corresponding to the tax group of which it forms part or has formed part.
Since 2010, ENDESA has filed consolidated tax returns for income tax purposes, as part of consolidated tax group no. 572/10, the parent of which is ENEL, S.p.A., ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. being its representative in Spain. Likewise, since January 2010, ENDESA has formed part of the Spanish consolidated VAT group no. 45/10, the Parent of which is ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. Until 2009, ENDESA filed consolidated tax returns as the Parent under group no. 42/1998 for income tax and under group no. 145/08 for VAT.
Also, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), a wholly-owned ENDESA subsidiary, paid tax between 2010 and 2016 as a consolidated member of Group number 574/10 of which ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) was the Parent. From 1 January 2017, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) paid taxes as part of tax group number 572/10 of which ENEL, S.p.A. is the Parent and ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. is the representative in Spain.
After ENDESA took control of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., in which, at 31 December 2019, it held a 96.3% share of the capital, the Consolidated Tax Group number 21/02 was incorporated, consisting of the following three companies: Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. (as the parent company and representative of the Consolidated Fiscal Group), Energía Ceuta XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.A.U. and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta Distribución, S.A.U.
In accordance with the regime for filing consolidated tax returns for purposes of income tax and VAT for company groups, all of the Group companies that file consolidated tax returns are jointly responsible for paying the Group's tax charge. This includes certain sanctions arising from failure to comply with specific obligations imposed under the VAT regime for company groups.
As a result of this, ENDESA is jointly responsible for paying the tax charge of the other members of the consolidated tax Groups to which it belongs or has belonged for all tax periods still open for review. ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) is so responsible for the other members of the Tax Consolidation Group to which it has belonged and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. with respect to its.
Even though ENDESA, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., as the case may be, has the right of recourse against the other members of the corresponding tax consolidated group, any of them could be held jointly and severally liable if any outstanding tax charge were to arise which had not been duly settled by another member of the consolidated tax Groups of which ENDESA, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., as the case may be, forms or has formed part. Any material tax liability could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
At 31 December 2019, the ENEL Group, through ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., held 70.101% of ENDESA, S.A.'s share capital and voting rights, enabling it to appoint the majority of ENDESA, S.A.'s Board members and, therefore, to control management of the business and its management policies.
The ENEL Group's interests may differ from those of ENDESA or of ENDESA's other shareholders. Furthermore, both the ENEL Group and ENDESA compete in the European electricity market. It is not possible to give any assurance that the interests of the ENEL Group will coincide with the interests of ENDESA's other shareholders or that the ENEL Group will act in support of ENDESA's interests.
Information on balances and transactions with related parties is provided in Note 18 to the Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA is exposed to the opinion and perception projected to different interest groups. This perception could deteriorate as a result of events produced by the Company or third parties over which it has little or no control. Should this occur, this could lead to economic damage to the Company due, among other factors, to increased requirements on the part of regulators, higher borrowing costs or increased efforts to attract customers.
Although ENDESA actively works to identify and monitor potential reputational events and interest groups affected, and transparency forms part of its communications policy, there is no guarantee that it will not suffer impairment of its image or reputation which, if resolved unfavourably, will have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Furthermore, ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will maintain solid relationships and ongoing communication with consumers and users and with the associations that represent them and, therefore, any change in these relationships could entail negative publicity and a significant loss of customers, which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on derivative financial instruments is provided in Note 14 to the financial statements of ENDESA S.A., for the year ended 31 December 2019.
At 31 December 2019, the Company had a total of 1,332 employees (1,287 employees at 31 December 2018).

ENDESA, S.A. (hereinafter, "the Parent" or the "Company") and its subsidiaries make up the ENDESA Group (hereinafter, "ENDESA"). The Company's registered and head offices are at Calle Ribera del Loira, 60, Madrid.
The Company was incorporated with limited liability under Spanish law in 1944 under the name Empresa Nacional de Electricidad, S.A. and changed its name to ENDESA, S.A. pursuant to a resolution adopted by the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting on 25 June 1997.
Its corporate object is the electricity business in its various industrial and commercial areas; the exploitation of primary energy resources of all types; the provision of industrial services, particularly in the areas of telecommunications, water and gas and those preparatory or supplementary to the Group's corporate object, and the management of the corporate Group, comprising investments in other companies. ENDESA carries out the activities forming its corporate object in Spain and abroad directly or through its investments in other companies.
ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 were approved by the shareholders at the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 12 April 2019 and filed with the Madrid Trade & Companies Register.
ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, and the financial statements of all the companies forming the Group for 2019, which were used in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, are mostly pending approval by their respective general meetings of shareholders. However, the Directors of the Parent Company consider that these Financial Statements will be approved as presented without modification.
The presentation currency of the Parent is the Euro and the figures shown herein (unless stated otherwise) are in millions of Euros.
The Company forms part of the ENEL Group, the ultimate Parent of which is ENEL, S.p.A., which is governed by Italian legislation. Its registered office is at Viale Regina Margherita, 137, Rome, Italy. In Spain, the ENEL Group is headed by ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., with its registered office at Madrid, calle Ribera del Loira, 60,. The ENEL Group, through ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., holds 70,101% of ENDESA, S.A.'s share capital (see Note 14.1.1).
The ENEL Group's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 were approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 16 May 2019 and filed with the Rome and Madrid Trade & Companies Registers.
ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, which were authorised for issue by the Directors of the Parent Company at a board meeting held on 24 February 2020, were prepared in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and the interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC") as adopted by the European Union at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in accordance with Regulation (EC) No. 1606/2002
of the European Parliament and of the Council and other regulations regarding financial reporting applicable to ENDESA.
These Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly the equity and financial position of ENDESA at 31 December 2019, as well as the consolidated comprehensive result of its operations, changes in consolidated equity and consolidated cash flows for the year then ended.
The Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared following the same Accounting Policies, Basis of Presentation and Valuation Rules as those applied to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018, with the exception of the new International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and Interpretations of the IFRS Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) published in the Official Journal of the European Union and first applied by ENDESA in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 (see Note 2.1.a), and in accordance with the going concern principle by applying the cost method, with the exception of items that, in accordance with IFRS, are measured at fair value, as indicated in the Valuation Standards for each item. Items in the Consolidated Income Statement are classified by types of costs.
ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 have been prepared from the accounting records of the Company and those of the rest of the companies forming the ENDESA Group.
Each subsidiary prepares its financial statements in accordance with the accounting policies and standards in force in the country in which it operates, so in the process of consolidation the necessary adjustments and reclassifications are made to make bring these policies and standards into line with one another and with IFRS and IFRIC interpretations.
| Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations | Mandatory Application: Financial Years Starting on or after |
|---|---|
| IFRS 16 "Leases". | 1 January 2019 |
| Amendments to IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments": "Prepayment Features with Negative Compensation". | 1 January 2019 |
| IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments". | 1 January 2019 |
| Amendments to IAS 28 "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures": Long-Term Interests in Associates and Joint Ventures. | 1 January 2019 |
| Amendment to IAS 19 "Employee Benefits": Plan Amendment, Curtailment or Settlement. | 1 January 2019 |
| Annual Improvements to International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), 2015-2017 Cycle. Aimed at correcting a series of problems deriving from possible inconsistencies in the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) or the need for a clearer formulation, amending the following Standards: - IFRS 3 "Business Combinations" and IFRS 11 "Joint Arrangements": Previously Held Interests in a Joint Operation. - IAS 12 "Income Taxes": Income Tax Consequences of Payments on Financial Instruments Classified as Equity. IAS 23 "Borrowing Costs". |
1 January 2019 |
The application of these standards, interpretations and amendments had no significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019, except for IFRS 16 "Leases".
IFRS 16 "Leases" establishes that a lessee will recognise a right-of-use asset, representing the right to use the underlying asset, and a lease liability, representing the obligation to make lease payments during the term of the lease. This Standard does not introduce significant changes for lessors, who must continue to classify their leases as finance leases or operating leases.
ENDESA has chosen to apply this Standard retroactively with the cumulative effect of the first application, which means that the comparative period is not restated and the cumulative effect of the initial application of the Standard is presented as of 1 January 2019, recording the asset at the same value as the liability.
In relation to the practical solutions that the Standard allows at the date of first application, ENDESA has chosen not to apply this Standard to those leases whose term ends within 12 months from the date of first application or where the underlying asset has an individual value that is lower than USD 5,000, and, in these cases, recognises the payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in the Other fixed operating expenses section of the Consolidated Income Statement.
Details of the lease agreements entered into by the entity and subject to the scope of IFRS 16 "Leases", from the points of view of lessee and lessor, are set out in Notes 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 respectively.
Based on the foregoing, and taking into the consideration the practical solutions that have been adopted, the impact on ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements at the date of first application of IFRS 16 Leases, is as follows:

The average incremental interest rate used to recognise lease liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at 1 January 2019 was 2.38%.
At 1 January 2019 the reconciliation of total minimum future lease payments deriving from operating lease contracts and the financial lease liability, from the standpoint of the lessee, was as follows:

At 31 December 2019, due to the application of IFRS 16 Leases, net financial debt was recognised for the payment obligation deriving from rights of use contracts for the amount of Euros 274 million (see Note 17.1).
As a result of the entry into force of IFRS 16 "Leases", from 1 January 2019, payments under operating leases that were previously considered as cash flows used in operating activities are now recognised as cash flows used in financing activities. In 2019 the amount recognised under this head was Euros 35 million (see Note 32.3).
IFRIC 23 "Uncertainty over Income Tax Treatments" clarifies how the recognition and measurement requirements of IAS 12 "Income Taxes" should be applied when there is uncertainty over income tax treatments. In this case, a company will recognise and measure its current or deferred tax assets or liabilities applying the requirements of IAS 12 "Income Taxes" based on the tax gain or loss, tax base, unused tax losses, unused tax credits and tax rates as established by this interpretation.
The application of this interpretation has not had a significant effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 (see Notes 3n, 16, 21.1, 21.2 and 22).

ENDESA's management is assessing the impact of the application of these improvements and amendments, and had not concluded this analysis at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) has approved the following IFRS which could affect ENDESA and which at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements had yet to be adopted by the European Union:
| Standards, Amendments to Standards and Interpretations | Mandatory Application: (1) Financial years beginning on or |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations (2) |
after 01 January 2020 |
| IFRS 17 Insurance Contracts | 01 January 2021 |
(1) If adopted without changes by the European Union. (2) Expected date of approval: first quarter of 2020.
At the date of authorisation for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements, ENDESA's management was assessing the impact that the application of these standards and modifications would have on ENDESA's Consolidated Financial Statements if they were finally adopted by the European Union.
The information contained in these Consolidated Financial Statements is the responsibility of the Directors of the Parent Company, who expressly declare that all IFRS principles and criteria have been applied.
In preparing these Consolidated Financial Statements, use was made of certain estimates made by ENDESA's Management to measure some of the assets, liabilities, income, expenses and commitments shown in them. These estimates were essentially as follows.

Although these estimates have been based on the best information available at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements on the events analysed, future events could require the estimates to be increased or decreased in subsequent years. Changes in accounting estimates would be applied prospectively, the effects of the change in estimates being recognised in the corresponding future Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsidiaries are companies which the Parent controls, directly or indirectly, through power over the investee, exposure to its variable returns or rights giving it the ability to direct the significant activities of the investee. In this respect, a company is exposed to variable returns from its investee when these returns vary depending on the investee's economic performance, and the company can use its power to influence these variable returns.
Control arises from substantive rights over the investee, whereby ENDESA Management applies its judgement to assess whether these substantive rights give it the power to direct the investee's significant activities in order to affect its returns. To this end, account is taken of all the facts and circumstances pertaining in assessing whether or not it controls an investee, and factors such as contracts with third parties, rights deriving from other contractual agreements and actual and potential voting rights are analysed, potential voting rights for this purpose meaning those held by ENDESA or third parties that are exercisable or convertible at the accounting close.
When events occur that affect control of the investee, exposure to variable returns due to continued involvement, or the ability to use control of the investee to influence its returns, the existence of control of the investee is reassessed.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated as described in Note 2.7.
At 31 December 2019 and 31 December 2018, ENDESA had no structured entities that, as defined by IFRS 12 "Disclosure of Interests in Other Entities", had been designed so that voting or similar rights were not the dominant factor in deciding who controls the entity.
Appendix I to these Consolidated Financial Statements lists ENDESA's subsidiaries at 31 December 2019 and 2018.

(1) Company absorbed by ENEL Green Power, S.L.U. (EGPE) on 30 October 2019. (2) Effect on equity of less than Euros 1 million (see Note 14.2).
In the year ended 31 December 2018 there were no changes in the percentage control of or economic stakes in subsidiaries.
Although ENDESA holds more than 50% of Asociación Nuclear Ascó-Vandellós II, A.I.E., this investee is considered to be a Joint Operation Entity because, through shareholder pacts or agreements, ENDESA exercises joint control with the other shareholder and has rights to its assets and obligations in respect of its liabilities (see Note 2.5.1).
Likewise, ENDESA owns more than 50% of Front Marítim del Besòs, S.L., although this investee is considered a Joint Venture since ENDESA, under the signed shareholders' agreement, exercises joint control with the other partner and is entitled to the net assets of the company (see Notes 2.5.2 and 10.1) .
Associates are entities in which the Parent has significant influence, directly or indirectly. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control of those policies.
The existence and effect of potential voting rights that are currently exercisable or convertible, including potential voting rights held by ENDESA or other entities, are taken into account when assessing whether it has significant influence.
In general, where ENDESA holds a stake above 20%, it is presumed that it has significant influence.
Associates are accounted for in the Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method, as described in Note 3h.
Appendix II to these Consolidated Financial Statements lists ENDESA's Associates at 31 December 2019 and 2018.
In the years ended 31 December 2019 and 2018 there were no additions of any associates to the consolidation scope or other changes in the percentage of control and economic ownership.

In the year ended 31 December 2018, after control was obtained of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. on 22 May 2018, this investee was recognised as a subsidiary (see Notes 2.3.1, 5.3 and 10.1).
A joint arrangement is an agreement that gives two or more parties joint control, whereby the unanimous consent of all parties sharing control is required for decisions to be taken with respect to major activities.
Joint arrangements may be joint operations or joint ventures, depending on the rights and obligations of the parties to the agreement.
In order to determine the type of joint arrangement from a contractual arrangement at the accounting close, management assesses the legal contents and structure of the arrangement, the terms agreed by the parties and other relevant factors and issues. If any changes are made to the contractual features of a joint arrangement, these factors and issues are reassessed.
Joint operations are entities governed by a Joint Arrangement whereby ENDESA and the other parties have rights to their assets and obligations with respect to the liabilities.
The assets and liabilities concerned by joint operations are consolidated proportionately, as described in Note 2.7.
Appendix I to the Consolidated Financial Statements lists the Joint Operations of ENDESA at 31 December 2019 and 2018.

The financial data of ENDESA's investees that are not considered Subsidiaries, Joint Operations, Joint Ventures or Associates have a minimal impact as regards the fair presentation required of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition, being the date on which ENDESA obtains control, and all their assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements after the corresponding adjustments and elimination of intragroup transactions.
Results of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the year are included in the Consolidated Income Statement from the effective date of acquisition or up to the effective date of disposal as the case may be.
Joint Operations Entities are consolidated using the proportional integration method, the proportional part of their assets, liabilities, income, expenses and cash flows being integrated into the Consolidated Financial Statements based on the percentage of ENDESA's holding in the companies, once the corresponding adjustments and eliminations of the operations carried out within ENDESA have been made.
The operations of the Parent Company and its subsidiaries are consolidated in accordance with the following basic principles:
Exchange differences arising on translation of financial statements are recognised net of their tax effect under "Translation differences" in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income: "Other Comprehensive Income".
Translation differences generated prior to 1 January 2004 were transferred to reserves as in its initial application of IFRS the Company made use of the exception provided for the conversion of Financial Statements prepared in accordance with Spanish accounting principles and criteria to IFRS.

The main measurement criteria used in preparing the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements were as follows:
Property, plant and equipment is valued at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. In addition to the price paid for the acquisition of each item, cost also includes, where applicable, the following items:
Borrowing costs accrued during the construction period that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets. Qualifying assets are assets requiring a substantial time before they are ready for use, such as electricity generating or distribution facilities. The interest rate used is that applicable to the specific financing or, in the absence of such rate, the average financing rate of the company making the investment. The average financing rate in 2019 was 1.8% (1.9% in 2018) (see Note 17.1) Euros 5 million were capitalised in this respect in 2019 (Euros 2 million in 2018) (see Note 29).
The acquisition cost of assets acquired before 31 December 2003 includes any asset revaluations permitted in the various countries to adjust the value of the property, plant and equipment for the effect of inflation until that date.
Assets under construction are transferred to property, plant and equipment in use once the trial period has ended and they are available for use, at which time depreciation begins.
Costs of expansion, modernisation or improvements which increase the productivity, capacity or efficiency or lengthen the useful lives of assets are capitalised as an increase in the cost of the related assets.
Replacements or renewals of complete items that extend the useful life or increase the economic benefits of the assets are recognised as increases in the value of property, plant and equipment and the items replaced or renewed are derecognised.
Regular maintenance, upkeep and repair expenses are expensed as incurred (see Note 27).
Indivisible assets shared by ENDESA with other owners are recognised in proportion to ENDESA's ownership of those assets (see Note 6.4).
Based on the results of the impairment test described in Note 3e, the Parent Company's Directors consider that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed their recoverable amount, with the exception of the mainland coal-fired thermal power plants and the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla (see Notes 3e.4, 4 and 6.4).
Items of property, plant and equipment, less residual value if any, are depreciated from the time they become available for use on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are the periods of expected use. Useful lives are reviewed whenever there are indications of possible changes, and adjusted prospectively where necessary.
The useful lives of assets for the purposes of calculating depreciation are as follows:
| Years of estimated useful life | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Generating facilities: | ||
| Hydroelectric plants | ||
| Civil works | 100 | 100 |
| Electromechanical Equipment | 50 | 50 |
| Coal Plants | 25-48 (1) | 25-59 |
| Nuclear power plants | 44-50 (2) | 50 |
| Combined cycle plants | 40 | 40 |
| Renewables | ||
| Photovoltaic | 30 | 30 |
| Wind | 30 | 30 |
| Transmission and distribution facilities | ||
| Low and Medium Voltage Network | 40 | 40 |
| Metering and Remote Control Equipment | 6-15 | 6-15 |
| Other Facilities | 25 | 25 |
(1) As a consequence of the decommissioning of the mainland coal-fired thermal power plants, their estimated useful life has been altered (see Notes 3e.4 and 6.4)
(2) The useful lives of Units I and II of the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant have been changed to 45 and 44 years respectively, effective 1 April 2019.
Land is not depreciated since it has an indefinite useful life.
ENDESA has modified the useful life of Units I and II of the Almaraz Nuclear Power Plant (Cáceres), with effect from 1 April 2019, as a result of the renewal request submitted for the operation permits for these plants, from 1 April 2020, for a period of 7.4 years for Group I and 8.2 years for Group II, as these application periods are less than the usual 10 years, in anticipation that the assumptions of the Draft Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) will be fulfilled for both Almaraz Units.
The effect of this change on the Consolidated Income Statement for the year ended 31 December 2019 is an increase of Euros 10 million in the depreciation charge relative to the previous year.
Pursuant to Law 29/1985 of 2 August 1985, partially amended by Law 46/1999 of 13 December 1999, all Spanish hydroelectric power plants are subject to the temporary administrative concession regime. Under the terms of these administrative concessions, at the end of the established terms the facilities must revert to state ownership in good condition. At 31 December 2019 these reversions were between 2020 and 2067 (see Note 16.3). These facilities are depreciated over the shorter of the concession term or their useful lives.
ENDESA has assessed the specific situations of these concessions and concluded that in no case do the factors requiring application of IFRIC 12: "Service Concession Agreements" apply (see Note 3d.1).
Items of property, plant and equipment are derecognised when they are sold or otherwise disposed of, or when no further economic benefits are expected to be obtained from their use, sale or disposal by other means.
Any gains or losses arising on the disposal or decommissioning of property, plant and equipment are recognised in profit or loss and are calculated as the difference between the net sale proceeds and the carrying amount.
The "Investment Property" heading in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprises land and buildings not expected to be used in the ordinary course of the businesses constituting ENDESA's corporate object.
Investment properties are measured at acquisition cost net of accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
The market values of investment property have been calculated based on external appraisals carried out during the last quarter of 2019 (see Notes 7.1 and 18.6.2).
To determine the fair market value of investment property, appraisals from officially recognised independent experts are requested. They make best estimates of value based on the greatest and best use of the property in accordance with its town planning status and current state of repair in the case of buildings.
Investment property, excluding land, is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the useful lives of the assets, which are estimated using the same criteria as for property, plant and equipment
Investment property is derecognised when it is sold or otherwise disposed of, or when no further economic benefits are expected to be obtained from its use, sale or disposal by other means.
Any gains or losses arising on the disposal or derecognition of investment property are recognised in profit or loss and are calculated as the difference between the net sale proceeds and the carrying amount.
Goodwill on consolidation represents the excess of the acquisition cost over the acquisition-date fair value of ENDESA's interest in the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including contingent liabilities, of a subsidiary or jointly-controlled entity.
The assets and liabilities acquired are measured provisionally at the date on which control of the company is obtained, and reviewed within a maximum period of one year from the acquisition date. The difference between the acquisition cost and the carrying amount of the acquiree is recognised provisionally as goodwill, until the actual fair value of the assets and liabilities is determined.
When the actual amount of goodwill is determined in the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year following that of the acquisition of the interest, the previous year's financial statements presented for comparison purposes are adjusted to include the value of the assets and liabilities acquired and the definitive goodwill from the date of acquisition of that interest.
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of companies with a functional currency other than the euro is measured in the functional currency of the acquiree and translated to Euros at the exchange rate in force at the reporting date.
Goodwill is not amortised, but is assigned to each Cash Generating Unit (CGU) or set of CGUs, and at the end of each accounting year an assessment is made as to whether there has been any impairment reducing their recoverable value to an amount lower than the recognised net cost, in which case the necessary value adjustments are made (see Note 3e).
At 31 December 2019 the goodwill recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position had been generated as a result of the acquisition of the systems and telecommunications (ICT) activity and of taking control of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), Eléctrica del Ebro, S.A.U. and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. (see Note 5.4).
The Directors of the Parent Company, based on the result of the impairment test explained in Note 3e, consider that the carrying amount of the assets does not exceed their recoverable value, with the exception of the goodwill of the systems and telecommunications (ICT) business assigned to the CGUs of Mainland Generation as a result of the decommissioning of the mainland coal-fired thermal power plants, and of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) Generation (NPT) of the Canary Islands ( see Notes 3e.4 and 9).

Intangible assets are initially recognised at cost of acquisition or production and subsequently carried at cost less accumulated amortisation and any accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortised over their useful lives, except for those with indefinite useful lives, which are not amortised.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, there were no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
The criteria used to recognise the impairment losses on these assets and, where applicable, the recovery of impairment losses recognised in prior years are described in Note 3e.
Intangible assets are derecognised when they are sold or otherwise disposed of, or when no further economic benefits are expected to be obtained from their use, sale or other form of disposal.
Any gains or losses arising on the disposal or retirement of intangible assets are recognised in profit or loss and are calculated as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the assets.
IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Arrangements" gives guidance on accounting for concessions of public services to private operators. This accounting interpretation applies to concessions in which:
Where both the above conditions are met simultaneously, the consideration received by ENDESA for the construction of infrastructure is recognised at fair value as an intangible asset providing the operator receives a right to charge users for the public service and such right is linked to the degree of use of the service, or as a financial asset if there is an unconditional contractual right to receive cash or another financial asset directly from the grantor or from a third party. ENDESA's contractual obligations for maintenance of the infrastructure while it is in operation or for its return to the grantor at the end of the concession arrangement in the conditions specified therein, to the extent that these activities do not generate revenue, are recognised applying the accounting policy for provisions (see Note 3k).
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA had no intangible assets in relation to its concession arrangements as a result of applying IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Arrangements".
Borrowing costs are capitalised using the criteria specified in Note 3a, providing the concession operator has a contractual right to receive an intangible asset. No borrowing costs were capitalised in 2019 or 2018.
No personnel expenses were capitalised in 2019 or 2018.
Concessions are amortised over their term.
Concession contracts not subject to IFRIC 12 "Service Concession Agreements" are recognised following the general criteria. To the extent that ENDESA recognises assets as property, plant and equipment (see Note 3a), they are depreciated over the shorter of their useful lives and the term of the concession. When calculating asset impairment, any obligation to invest in, improve or replace assets assumed by ENDESA is considered, as a contractually committed future cash outflow necessary to obtain future cash inflows. If ENDESA has the use of assets assigned to it in exchange for a consideration, the criteria established in Note 3f apply.
ENDESA's policy is to recognise development expenditure on projects as an intangible asset in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position providing the technical feasibility and economic profitability of the project are reasonably assured.
Development expenses are amortised over their useful life in accordance with a systematic plan which in most cases is estimated at five years.
Research costs are recognised as expense in the Consolidated Income Statement. The amount of these costs in the Consolidated Income Statement amounted to Euros 19 million in 2019 (Euros 10 million in 2018).
These assets basically correspond to:
The incremental costs of obtaining a contract are the costs incurred to obtain a contract with a customer that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained.
ENDESA recognises the incremental costs of obtaining contracts with customers as an intangible asset, insofar as they are directly related to a contract or a future contract that can be specifically identified and from which these costs are expected to be recovered.
This asset is amortised systematically depending on the average expected useful life of the contracts with customers associated with these costs, which at 31 December 2019 varied between 1.1 years and 12.2 years.
The costs of obtaining a contract that ENDESA would have incurred regardless of whether or not the contract was obtained are recognised as an expense in the Consolidated Income Statement when they occur.
ENDESA assesses throughout the year and, in any case, at each reporting date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount to determine the extent of any impairment loss. For identifiable assets that do not generate cash inflows independently, an estimate is made of the recoverability of the Cash Generating Unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs, i.e. the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates independent cash inflows.
In the case of CGUs to which goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite useful lives have been allocated, the analysis of their recoverability is carried out systematically at the end of each financial year.
If the recoverable amount of a CGU is less than the carrying amount of the assets associated with it, the corresponding impairment loss is recognised for the difference, under "Depreciation and Amortisation, and Impairment Losses" in the Consolidated Income Statement. The impairment loss is first allocated to the value of the goodwill allocated to the CGU and then to the remaining assets of the CGU in proportion to the carrying amount of each, up to the greatest of their fair value less selling costs, their value in use, and zero.
Impairment losses recognised on an asset in previous years are reversed when there is a change in the estimate of its recoverable amount, increasing the carrying amount of the asset with a credit to profit and loss, subject to a limit of the carrying amount of the asset that wold have applied if no impairment loss been recognised. Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed.
ENDESA considers that the assets of the electricity generation business belonging to a single interconnected system and those of the electricity distribution that receive joint remuneration constitute a CGU.
The most significant CGUs at 31 December 2019 were as follows:
The recoverable amount is the greater of fair value less necessary selling costs and value in use, the latter being understood as the present value of the estimated future cash flows.
In estimating value in use, ENDESA prepares pre-tax cash flow projections based on the latest budgets available. These budgets include ENDESA management's best estimates of the income and expenditure of the CGUs according to industry projections, past experience and future expectations.
These projections cover the next five years and the cash flows to the end of the useful lives of the assets or the end of the concession, as appropriate, factoring in any residual value and applying reasonable growth rates based on assumptions regarding average long-term growth rates and forecast inflation for the industry and country concerned.
The estimated future cash flows are discounted to present value using a pre-tax rate that reflects the cost of capital of the business and its geographical area. The calculation takes account of the current cost of money and the risk premiums generally used by analysts for the business and the geographical area.
The discount rates applied in 2019 and 2018 to the main Cash Generating Units (CGUs) were in the following ranges:
| Currency | 31 December 2019 | 31 December 2018 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Minimum (%) | Maximum (%) | Minimum (%) | Maximum (%) | ||
| Generation (1) | Euros | 4.7 | 6.3 | 4.9 | 6.4 |
| Distribution | Euros | 3.6 | 5.5 | 5.1 | 6.8 |
Analysing the parameters that make up the 2019 discount rates, it should be noted that the risk-free rate has dropped significantly, from 1.46% in 2018 to 0.79% in 2019 and the risk premium of the business, which represents the specific risk of the assets and is based on the unlevered betas applied to companies with similar activity, has declined in both deregulated and regulated businesses.
The average growth rates (g rates) used in 2019 and 2018 to extrapolate the cash flow projections were as follows:
| % | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Growth rate | 1.5 | 1.6 |
(1) At 31 December 2019, this does not include the discount rates of the Autonomous Cities of Melilla and Ceuta, which were 2.7% and 7.0%, respectively.
These growth rates, which do not exceed the long-term average growth rate of the sector and markets in which ENDESA operates, are in line with Spain's long-term inflation as well as with the market consensus.
The approach used to assign value to the key assumptions considered took account of the following concepts and/or parameters:
Average rainfall and wind: forecasts are drawn up for an average year based on historical series of weather conditions. However, particularly for the first year of projection, the actual rainfall and wind figures of the preceding year are used, the average year being adjusted accordingly.
Installed capacity: For the generating activity, account is taken of the investment required to maintain installed capacity in proper operating conditions, for the distribution activity account is taken of investment in maintenance, improvement and reinforcement of the network, and also investments required to implement the remote metering plan, and in the supply activity account is taken of the investment required to develop other products and services.
Mainland coal-fired thermal power plants.
During 2019 there was a profound change in the market conditions affecting coal-fired thermal power plants, deriving basically from international commodity prices and the effectiveness of the new mechanisms for regulating the market for CO2 emission rights, which displaces the plants with the highest volume of emissions in favour of other technologies. In view of this structural situation ENDESA's mainland coal-fired thermal power plants are no longer competitive, and therefore their operation in the electricity generation market is not possible, as the evolution itself has proven.
In this context, on 27 September 2019 ENDESA decided to discontinue the operation of these facilities, in accordance with the established legal procedures and formalities, and, such decision, has entailed:
On 27 December 2019 ENDESA submitted to the competent authorities the authorisation requests for the closure of the As Pontes (La Coruña) and Litoral (Almería) Thermal Power Plants.
Cash Generating Units (CGUs) of Generation for each of the Non-Mainland Territories (TNP) of Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla
On 28 December 2019, Order TEC/1260/2019 of 26 December 2019 was published. It establishes the technical and economic parameters to be used in calculating remuneration for electricity production in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) with additional remuneration regimes during the 2020-2025 regulatory period. This revision of technical and economic parameters implies for ENDESA, among other things, a decrease in the remuneration of operating and maintenance costs for the 2020-2025 regulatory period, and as a consequence, the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGU) for each of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla is lower than its carrying amount, for which reason an impairment loss has been recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement for a total amount of Euros 404 million (see Notes 3c, 6.4, 9 and 28).
On 3 November 2018, Order TEC/1158/2018 of 29 October 2018 was published, on the additional remuneration regime for Non-mainland Territories (TNP) electricity generating facilities required to made additional investments in order to comply with EU and Spanish regulations to remain in operation, which does not include the coal-fired Units of the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands).
The non-recognition of this additional remuneration regime led to the Company's submitting, on 27 December 2018 to the General Directorate of Energy and Climate Change of the Balearic Government the request for authorisation for the closure of Units I and II of the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands) and, in addition, a decrease in the estimation of useful life of Units III and IV of said Plant.
This took the recovery amount of these assets to below their carrying amount, resulting in the recognition in the Consolidated Income Statement of an impairment loss amounting to Euros 158 million (see Notes 3c, 6.4, 9 and 28).
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA carried out a sensitivity analysis on the results of the impairment tests described using the reasonable variations of the main key assumptions detailed below:
| Increase | Decrease | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 50 bps | N/A |
| Growth rate | N/A | 50 bps |
| Pool Price | N/A | 5% |
| Operating and Maintenance Costs | 5% | N/A |
| Investment in Maintenance | 5% | N/A |
| Electricity Demand | N/A | 1% |
At 31 December 2019, as a result of this sensitivity analysis, it was concluded that an adverse change in the key assumptions used within the ranges considered, holding the rest of the variables unchanged, would not result in an impairment of assets, except in the case of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) of the Nonmainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla, the carrying amount of which has been adjusted to bring it into line with the value in use. As a consequence, any negative variation in the key assumptions used would bring the value in use of these Cash Generating Units (CGUs) to below their carrying amounts.
A contract is, or contains, a lease if it transfers the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for a consideration. At the beginning of a contract ENDESA evaluates whether it is, or contains, a lease, and analyses whether several components are included in order to account for the lease separately from the other components that do not constitute a lease.
When the contract contains a lease component and one or more additional components, ENDESA distributes the consideration of the contract to each component of the lease based on the relative individual price of the lease component, and the aggregate individual price of the non-lease components.
Leases in which ENDESA acts as lessee are recognised at the beginning of the contract by recognising in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position a right-of-use asset representing the right to use the leased asset and a liability for the present value of the obligation to make lease payments during the term of the lease.
The initial value of the leased asset will comprise the amount of the initial valuation of the lease liability, as well as any lease payment made on or before the start date, discounting any lease incentive received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of the costs that will be incurred when dismantling and eliminating the underlying asset, rehabilitating the place where said asset is located or returning it to the condition required under the contract.
To determine the lease term ENDESA considers the non-revocable period of the contract except for those contracts in which it has a unilateral option to extend or terminate early, in which case the extension or early termination period is used if there is reasonable certainty that such option will be exercised. In this regard, ENDESA uses the time horizon envisaged in the budget process.
After the initial recognition, ENDESA values the right-of-use asset at cost less accumulated amortisation and any impairment losses, also adjusting for any change in the valuation of the associated liabilities for leases. The asset is depreciated in the same way as other similar depreciable assets if there is reasonable certainty that the lessee will acquire title to the asset at the end of the lease term. If no such certainty exists, the asset is depreciated over the shorter of the estimated useful life of the asset and the lease term.
The initial value of the lease liability is calculated, on the date of commencement of the lease, as the value of future payments discounted, in general, at the implied interest rate of the contract. If the implied interest rate of the lease is not available, ENDESA uses the incremental rate of its loans, considering the term of the contract and the underlying asset type. These payments will include fixed or substantially fixed payments, less any lease incentive to be received by ENDESA, as well as variable payments that depend on an index or rate, the amounts that ENDESA expects to pay for guarantees of the residual value of the underlying asset, the exercise price of the purchase option if ENDESA is reasonably certain that it will exercise it and the penalty payments for termination of the lease if the lease term reflects the exercise by ENDESA of the early cancellation option.
Subsequently, the lease liability is increased to reflect the accumulation of interest and is reduced by the lease payments made. Subsequently, the minimum lease payments are apportioned between the finance charge and the reduction of the outstanding liability. The finance charge is recognised as an expense and allocated to income over the lease term so as to obtain a constant interest rate each year applicable to the remaining balance of the liability.
The lease liability must be reassessed when certain changes in payments occur such as changes in the lease term or changes in future payments. In these cases, generally, the amount of the reassessment of the lease liability must be recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
Variable lease rentals, as well as contingent rentals when they are likely to be incurred, are recognised as expense in the Consolidated Income Statement.
ENDESA has chosen not to apply the aforementioned requirements to short-term leases and leases in which the underlying asset is of low value (less than US\$ 5,000). For these cases, the amounts accrued are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease components or components that are not leases, ENDESA distributes the consideration of the contract in the same way as for ordinary revenue from contracts with customers (see Note 3o.1).
Leases that transfer substantially all the risks and benefits inherent in ownership are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Finance leases are recognized at the beginning of the contract y recognising a financial asset for the present value of the minimum payments to be received for the lease plus the residual value of the asset, even if not guaranteed, discounted at the implied interest rate of the contract. The difference between the financial asset recognised and the amount receivable, corresponding to unearned interest, will be charged to the Statement of Consolidated Income for the year in which the interest accrues, in accordance with the effective interest rate method.
In operating leases ENDESA recognises the lease payments as income on a straight-line basis.
A financial instrument is any contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
For valuation purposes, ENDESA classifies its financial assets at the date of their initial recognition, taking into account both their business model and the characteristics of the contractual cash flows, whether permanent or temporary, excluding investments accounted for using the equity method (see Notes 3h and 10.1) and held-for-sale investments, in the following categories:
Financial assets measured at amortised cost: they are recognised at amortised cost, if they are managed with a business model the objective of which is to hold financial assets to receive contractual cash flows and the contractual conditions give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are only payments of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount. In the initial recognition, the amortised cost corresponds to the initial fair value, less repayments of principal made, plus accrued uncollected interest calculated using the effective interest rate method. The effective interest method is a method of calculating the amortised cost of a financial asset or a financial liability (or group of financial assets or financial liabilities) and of allocating the interest income or interest expense over the relevant period. The effective interest rate is the rate that exactly discounts estimated future cash payments or receipts over the expected life of the financial instrument or, when appropriate, a shorter period, to the carrying amount of the financial asset or financial liability.

ENDESA has designated equity instruments in this category.
Purchases and sales of financial assets are recognised on the trade date.
The criteria for recognising impairment of financial assets are described in Note 3g.3.
Cash and cash equivalents in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position comprises cash in hand, demand deposits and other short-term highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.
Bank overdrafts are recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as bank borrowings.
In order to determine the need to recognise an impairment loss on financial assets, ENDESA applies the expected credit loss method, in accordance with the following procedure:
In the case of financial assets that have a commercial origin, accounts receivable for leases and contractual assets deriving from contracts with customers included in the Financial assets measured at amortised cost category, the expected credit losses during the life of the financial assets are determined collectively, grouped by type of customer and market.
The non-payment percentages are calculated separately for each of the groups identified, grouped by maturity, type of customer and market, based on the historical experience of non-payment for the last 36 months and taking into account the probability of an unpaid item's evolving through the subsequent statuses up to write-off.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, expected credit losses on assets for which there is objective evidence that ENDESA will not be able to recover all the amounts in accordance with the original terms of the contracts are determined individually.
When evaluating whether the risk has increased significantly for a financial asset or group of financial assets, ENDESA uses the modification in the non-payment risk that will occur during the expected life of the instrument.
ENDESA recognises impairment losses on financial assets at amortised cost by means of an adjustment account. The carrying amount is eliminated against the adjustment account when the impairment is deemed to be irreversible. Impairment losses on trade receivables, leases and contractual assets deriving from contracts with customers are recognised as expense under "Depreciation, Amortisation, and Impairment Losses" in the Consolidated Income Statement and on other financial assets they are recognised as an expense under "Financial Expense" in the Consolidated Income Statement (see Notes 28 and 29, respectively). Subsequent reversals of impairment losses are limited to what the amortised cost of the assets would have been if no impairment loss had been recognised. If the impairment is irreversible, the carrying amount of the financial asset is eliminated against the adjustment account.
At the date of authorisation for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements all material past-due financial assets were of a trading nature (see Note 19.5).
For valuation purposes, ENDESA classifies its financial liabilities at the date of initial recognition:
In the special case where the liabilities are the underlying of a fair value hedge derivative, they are exceptionally measured at the fair value of the portion of the risk hedged.
To calculate the fair value of debt, for the purpose of recognition in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and for disclosure of fair value included in Note 17.1, debt is divided into debt bearing interest at a fixed rate and debt bearing interest at floating rates:
ENDESA has confirming transaction arrangements with a number of financial entities (see Note 22). ENDESA applies the criteria set forth in Note 3g.7 in assessing the write-off of the original liability to trade creditors and recognition of a new liability to financial institutions. Trade payables for which settlement is managed by financial institutions are recognised under "Trade and other payables" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position insofar as ENDESA has granted only the management of payment to financial institutions and remains primarily liable for payment of the debts to trade creditors.
The derivatives held by ENDESA relate mainly to transactions arranged to hedge interest rate risk, foreign currency risk or the price risk on commodities such as fuel oil and on electricity, CO2 emission rights, CERs and ERUs, the purpose of which is to eliminate or significantly reduce these risks in the underlying hedged transactions.
Derivatives are measured at their fair value at the end of the reporting period. When their fair value is positive, they are carried under financial assets, current or non-current depending on their maturity and the intention of holding the derivative until maturity, if they are financial derivatives, and under trade and other receivables if they are commodity derivatives. When their fair value is negative, they are carried under interest-bearing loans and borrowings, current or non-current depending on their maturity and the intention of holding the derivative until maturity, if they are financial derivatives, and under "Trade payables and other current liabilities," if they are commodity derivatives.
Any gains or losses arising from changes in the fair value of derivatives are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except where the derivative has been designated as a hedging instrument and all the requirements for hedge accounting under IFRS have been met; for example, the hedge must be highly effective. In this case, recognition depends on the type of hedge as follows:
A hedge is only applicable when there is a financial relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument, the credit risk of the hedged item does not have a dominant effect on the changes in value resulting from that financial relationship, and the hedging ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the amount of the hedged item that ENDESA actually uses to cover said amount of the hedged item.
The hedge is prospectively discontinued if the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised or if the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting. For these purposes, the replacement or renewal of the hedging instrument is not an expiry or termination, providing the transaction is consistent with ENDESA's risk objective.
When hedge accounting is discontinued in a cash flow hedge, the amount accumulated under "Other Comprehensive Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (see Note 14.1.6) is not recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement until the future cash flows covered occur. Conversely, the amounts accumulated under "Other Comprehensive Income" in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement when it is no longer expected that the future cash flows covered will occur.
ENDESA has entered into commodities forward sale and purchase contracts, mainly for electricity and fuel. In general, these contracts are carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at their market value at the reporting date, with any increases or decreases in value recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement, except when all the following conditions are met:
ENDESA evaluates whether derivatives are embedded in its contracts and financial instruments to determine whether their characteristics and risks are closely related to those of the host contracts providing the overall contract is not recognised at fair value. If their characteristics and risks are not closely related, the derivatives are recognised separately, with changes in value recognised in profit and loss.
The fair value of the different derivative financial instruments is calculated as follows:
In accordance with the procedures described above, ENDESA classifies the various financial instruments in accordance with the levels indicated in Note 3p (see Note 18.6).
Financial guarantee contracts, meaning the guarantee deposits and guarantees given to third parties by ENDESA, are initially recognised at fair value, which, unless there is evidence to the contrary, is the premium received plus the present value of any cash flows to be received.
Subsequently, financial guarantee contracts are measured as the difference between:
Financial assets are derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position when:
In 2019 and 2018, ENDESA entered into receivables transfer agreements which are considered as factoring without recourse as it transferred the risks and rewards inherent in ownership of the financial assets transferred (see Notes 12.1, 18.1.1 and 30).
Transactions in which ENDESA retains substantially all the risks and rewards inherent in ownership of a transferred financial asset are accounted for by recognising the consideration received as a liability. Transaction costs are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement using the effective interest rate method.
Financial liabilities are derecognised from the Statement of Financial Position when they are extinguished, that is, when the obligation deriving from the liability has been settled or cancelled or has expired.
A financial asset and a financial liability will be offset when the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off the recognised amounts and has the intention of settling the net amount or of simultaneously realising the asset and settling the liability (see Note 18.5).
These rights will be legally enforceable only in the normal course of the company's business, or in the event of non-compliance, insolvency or bankruptcy of the counterparty.
Financial assets are subject to reclassification when the business model for managing them is modified. The effect in the Income Statement and in the Statement of Comprehensive Income is detailed below:

Financial liabilities are not subject to reclassification.
Investments in associates and joint ventures are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, the investment is carried in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at ENDESA's share of the investee's equity, adjusted, where applicable, to eliminate intragroup transactions, plus unrealised gains relating to the goodwill paid on acquisition of the company.
If the resulting amount is negative, the investment is carried at zero in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, unless ENDESA is required to restore the company's equity, in which case the corresponding provision for liabilities and charges is recognised as a liability in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (see Note 10.1).
Dividends received from these companies are deducted from the value of the investment, while ENDESA's share of the profit or loss of these companies based on its percentage of ownership is recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement under net profit from companies accounted for using the equity method.
After the equity method has been applied, for investments the value of which includes unrealised gains relating to the goodwill paid on acquisition of the company, or those that may otherwise show signs of impairment, the recoverable value of the investment is calculated and, if this is less than the carrying amount, impairment is recognised for the difference between the recoverable value of the associate or the joint venture, and the carrying amount.
The recoverable amount is calculated as the higher of the fair value of ENDESA's interest in the investee and ENDESA's proportional share of the present value of the future cash flows that the company is expected to generate less the company's debt at reporting date less selling costs.
If after the value of the investment has been reduced, additional losses should arise as a result of legal or implied obligations, they will be recognised as a liability.
Appendix II to these Consolidated Financial Statements lists ENDESA's associates and joint ventures at 31 December 2019 and 2018.
In general, inventories are measured at the lower of weighted average acquisition cost and net realisable value.
The cost of acquiring nuclear fuel includes the borrowing costs allocated to its financing while in process. Finance costs of Euros 1 million in 2019 and Euros 2 million in 2018 were capitalised in this respect (see Note 29). Nuclear fuel in process is transferred to operating expenses when it is loaded into the reactor and recognised in profit and loss based on the power capacity consumed in the period.
ENDESA companies that emit CO2 in their electricity generation activity must deliver CO2 emission rights, specifically European Union Allowances (EUAs) equal to their emissions during the year in the first few months of the following year.
They can also use Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) for other purposes, such as voluntary emission compensation.
Therefore, the principle for recognising CO2 emission rights, CERs and ERUs is to recognise them as inventories, as follows:
They are recognised when there is reasonable certainty that the conditions associated with them will be met. These amounts are recognised under deferred income in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and taken into profit and loss under other operating income over the useful lives of the assets.
ENDESA receives legally established compensation for the amounts paid for the construction or acquisition of certain facilities or, in some cases, is assigned the facilities directly in accordance with the legislation currently in force.
Both the tangible asset and the deferred income are recognised at the fair value of the asset on the date on which it is transferred and taken into profit and loss over the useful life of the asset, thereby offsetting the related depreciation charge.
Liabilities existing at the date of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position and arising from past events which are likely to have a negative impact on ENDESA's equity but the amount and settlement date of which are uncertain, are recognised as provisions in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at the present value of the most likely amount that ENDESA will have to disburse to cancel the obligation.
ENDESA also recognises provisions for liabilities arising from ongoing lawsuits and termination benefits, deposits and similar guarantees and to cover risks.
Provisions are made based on the best information available at the date of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements on the most likely outcome of the event for which provision is required and are reestimated at the end of each reporting period.
For defined benefit plans, the companies recognise the expenditure relating to these obligations on an accruals basis over the working life of the employees by performing actuarial studies at the reporting date, calculated using the projected unit credit method. Provisions for defined benefit plans represent the present value of the accrued provisions after deducting the fair value of the qualifying plan assets. The actuarial losses and gains arising from the measurement of plan liabilities and assets are recognised directly, net of the related tax effect, in Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (see Note 14.1.7).
For each of the plans, if the difference between the actuarial liability for the services provided and the plan assets is positive, this difference is recognised under "Non-Current Provisions: Provisions for Pensions and other Similar Provisions" on the liabilities side of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, and if negative, under "Non-Current Financial Assets: Loans and Other Receivables" on the assets side of the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, in this latter case providing this difference is recoverable by ENDESA, usually through a deduction from future contributions taking into consideration the limits set by paragraph 57 (b) of IAS 19 Employee Benefits and IFRIC 14 IAS 19 – The Limit on a Defined Benefit Asset, Minimum Funding Requirements and their Interaction. The effect of the application of this limit is recognised, net of the tax effect, under Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income (see Notes 14.1.7 and 16.1).
Contributions to defined contribution plans are recognised as an expense in profit and loss as employees provide their services.
Post-employment plans that have been fully insured and for which ENDESA has therefore transferred all the risk are considered to be defined contribution plans and consequently no actuarial liabilities or plan assets are taken into account.
ENDESA recognises termination or suspension benefits when there is an individual or group agreement with the employees that will enable the employees, unilaterally or by mutual agreement with the company, to cease working for ENDESA or temporarily suspend the employment contract in exchange for compensation or consideration. Where mutual agreement is required, a provision is recognised only in situations in which ENDESA has decided to give its consent to the termination of employment and this consent has been notified to the employee either individually or collectively to employee representatives. In all cases in which these provisions are recognised there is an expectation on the part of employees that these early retirements will take place and official notification by the Company to the employee or to the employee's representatives.
ENDESA has workforce reduction plans, which arose as part of the corresponding workforce reduction plans approved by the government or in agreements drawn up with employee representatives. The plans guarantee payment of an indemnity or maintenance of regular payments during the period of early retirement or suspension of the employment contract.
The Company recognises the full amount of the expenditure relating to these plans when the obligation materialises, meaning when the company is unable to prevent the disbursement, depending on the commitments undertaken with the employee or the employee's representatives. These sums are determined, where appropriate, from actuarial surveys conducted to calculate the actuarial obligation at period-end. The resulting actuarial gains and losses are recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement.
ENDESA's companies that generate CO2 emissions in their electricity generation activity must deliver CO2 emission rights equal to their emissions during the year in the first few months of the following year. The companies can also use Certified Emission Reductions (CERs) and Emission Reduction Units (ERUs) for voluntary compensation.
The obligation to deliver CO2 emission rights for the emissions of the previous year is recognised under Other Current Provisions in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position), the corresponding cost having been recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement under Other Variable Procurements and Services (see Noted 23 and 25.3, respectively). This obligation is recognised at the same amount as the CO2 emission rights to be delivered to cover this obligation under "Inventories" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (see Note 3i.2).
If at the reporting date ENDESA does not hold all the CO2 emission rights, CERs, or ERUs required, the cost and the corresponding provision are recognised on the basis of a best estimate of the price that ENDESA will have to pay to acquire them. When a more appropriate estimate does not exist, ENDESA estimates the acquisition price for the allowances not held by it as the market price at the reporting date.
ENDESA recognises a provision for the expected cost of dismantling some of its plants and certain electricity distribution facilities (see Notes 3a, 3b and 16.3). Changes in provision resulting from re-calculations of present value are recognised as financial expenses in profit and loss (see Note 29).
The interest rates applied for the corresponding DCF exercise, depending on the remaining useful life of the associated asset, have been placed in the following ranges:
| % | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | |
| Discount Rate | 0.0 - 1.3 | 0.3 - 1.6 |
In the case of contracts in which the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under the contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it (onerous contracts), ENDESA recognises a provision for the present value of the difference between the costs and benefits foreseen.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018 there were no provisions for onerous contracts.
Transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of each company are recognised in the functional currency by applying the exchange rates in force at the transaction date. During the year, differences arising between the balances translated at the exchange rate at the transaction date and those translated at the exchange rate at the date of collection or payment are recognised as financial income or financial expenses in the Consolidated Income Statement (see Note 29).
Balances receivable or payable at year-end denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies in which the financial statements of the consolidated companies are denominated are translated to euros at year-end exchange rates. The resulting valuation differences are recognised as financial income or expense in the Consolidated Income Statement (see Note 29).
In the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, balances due to be settled within 12 months are classified as current and those due to be settled in a period of more than 12 months are classified as non-current.
Obligations that mature at short term but in respect of which there is an expectation of and right to, at ENDESA's discretion, long-term refinancing through credit lines available immediately and unconditionally in accordance with the financing conditions in place, and where such right exceeds 12 months from the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, are classified as non-current liabilities. At 31 December 2019 these balances amounted to Euros 29 million (Euros 11 million at 31 December 2018) (see Note 17.2.1).
In 2019 there were two Tax Consolidation Groups in ENDESA:
The number of companies forming Tax Consolidation Group No. 572/10 at 31 December was 55 (39 companies at 31 December 2018), as detailed below: ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., ENDESA, S.A., Almussafes Servicios Energéticos, S.L.U., Aragonesa de Actividades Energéticas, S.A.U., Aranort Desarrollos, S.L.U., Baylio Solar, S.L.U., Castiblanco Solar, S.L.U., Dehesa de los Guadalupes Solar, S.L.U., Distribuidora de Energía Eléctrica del Bages, S.A., Distribuidora Eléctrica del Puerto de la Cruz, S.A.U., Edistribución Redes Digitales, S.L.U.

ENDESA's other subsidiaries file individual tax returns in accordance with the tax legislation in force in each country.
During 2019 ENDESA acquired shares in Baikal Enterprise, S.L.U., Baleares Energy, S.L.U., Bogaris PV1, S.L.U., Dehesa PV Farm 03, S.L.U., Dehesa PV Farm 04, S.L.U., Emintegral Cycle, S.L.U., Energía Neta Sa Caseta Llucmajor, S.L.U., Envatios Promoción I, S.L.U., Envatios Promoción II, S.L.U., Envatios Promoción III, S.L.U., Envatios Promoción XX, S.L.U., Fotovoltaica Yunclillos, S.L.U., Olivum PV Farm 01, S.L.U., Pampinus PV Farm 01, S.L.U., Renovables La Pedrera, S.L.U., Renovables Mediavilla, S.L.U., Torrepalma Energy, S.L.U. and Xaloc Solar, S.L.U. (see Notes 2.3.1 and 5.1). At 1 January 2020, the companies meeting the requirements laid down by tax legislation on consolidated profits of corporate groups have been included in the consolidated tax group to which ENDESA belongs.
Income tax expense for the year is calculated as the sum of the current tax of the various companies resulting from applying the tax rate to the taxable income (tax loss) for the year, after taking into account any available tax deductions, plus the change in deferred tax assets and liabilities and tax credits for loss carryforwards and deductions. The differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base give rise to deferred tax assets or liabilities, which are calculated using the tax rates that are expected to apply to the years when the assets are realised and the liabilities settled.
Income tax and changes in deferred tax assets and liabilities not arising from business combinations are recognised in the profit and loss or in equity depending on where the gains or losses giving rise to them were recognised.
Deferred tax assets and tax credits are recognised only if it is considered probable that the consolidated companies will have sufficient future taxable profits against which the related deductions for temporary differences can be recovered or tax credits utilised.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognised for all temporary differences. Tax deductions arising from economic events occurring in the year reduce the income tax expense, unless there are doubts as to whether they can be realised, in which case they are not recognised until they have effectively been realised.
ENDESA also reflects the effect of uncertainty over tax treatments when determining taxable profit or loss, tax bases, tax losses, unused tax credits and the corresponding tax rates. To do this, it evaluates whether to consider each uncertain tax treatment separately or in conjunction with one or more other uncertain tax treatments, to determine the approach that best predicts the resolution of the uncertainty. When it is concluded that the tax authority is not likely to accept an uncertain tax treatment ENDESA reflects the effect of uncertainty generally using the most probable amount method, that is, the single most probable amount within a range of possible outcomes.
Liabilities and/or assets relating to uncertain tax treatments are presented as current or deferred tax assets or liabilities (see Notes 2.1a, 21.1, 21.2 and 22).
The deferred tax assets and liabilities recognised are reviewed at the end of each reporting period in order to ascertain whether they still exist, and the appropriate adjustments are made.
Under the legislation currently in force, taxes cannot be considered definitively settled until the returns filed have been inspected by the tax authorities or the prescription period of four years has elapsed.
As of 31 December 2019, the following exercises are subject to administrative verification:
| 31 December de 2019 | |
|---|---|
| Consolidated Tax Group of Income Tax (No. 572/10) | 2006, 2015 and following |
| Consolidated Tax Group of Income Tax (No. 21/02) | 2015 and following |
| Other Taxes Applicable to ENDESA | 2015 and following |
During 2019, the Tax Agency initiated a process of general verification and investigation of the Consolidated Tax Group (No. 572/10) of the Income Tax for the years 2015 to 2017 and of the Consolidated Tax Group (No. 45/10) of the Value Added Tax (VAT or "IVA") and withholdings for 2015 to 2018 (see Note 16.3).
As a general criterion, ENDESA recognises income from its ordinary activities in line with the delivery of the goods or the provision of the services contractually agreed on with its customers over the life of the contract and for the amount of the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for said goods or services.
In particular, ENDESA follows the following stages for the recognition of income from contracts with customers:
A good or service promised to a customer is differentiated if the following two criteria are met:
If the execution obligation is complied with over time, ENDESA recognises the corresponding income as it meets the obligation, for which it measures the degree of progress of execution of each identified obligation.
If the execution obligation is fulfilled at a specific date, ENDESA recognises the corresponding income.
If the parties agree to amend the contract, ENDESA accounts for this amendment as a separate contract if the following two conditions are met:
Otherwise, the contractual amendment is treated as an adjustment to the original contract, so that, when the amendment consists of new goods or services that are different and not at their usual selling price, the previous contract is cancelled and a new contract is created, but if the amendment consists of new goods or services that are not different, the existing contract is re-assessed.
ENDESA presents contracts with customers in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as an asset or a liability, depending on the relationship between ENDESA's performance and the payment made by the customer:
For generation from renewable sources, cogeneration and waste subject to a specific remuneration regime, income additional to the average mainland price is recognised, equivalent to said specific remuneration (see Note 4).
When a third party is involved in providing goods or services to a customer, ENDESA analyses whether the nature of its commitment is an execution obligation consisting of providing the goods or services itself to the customer (ENDESA acts as principal) or whether its commitment is to organise the supply of those goods or services for the third party (ENDESA acts as agent).
When ENDESA acts as principal, it recognises the revenue for the gross amount of the consideration to which it expects to be entitled in exchange for the goods or services transferred, but when it acts as an agent, it recognises the revenue for the amount of any payment or commission to which it expects to have the right in exchange for arranging the provision of its goods or services for the other party.
Interest income and expense is recognised by applying the effective interest rate method applicable to the outstanding principal over the related repayment period.
Dividends received from equity instruments are recognised as income at the date the right to receive them arises in the Consolidated Income Statement.
ENDESA recognises non-financial asset purchase or sale contracts settled net in cash or another financial instrument at their net amount. Contracts entered into and maintained for the purpose of receiving or delivering these non-financial assets are recognised on the basis of the contractual terms of the purchase, sale or usage requirements expected by the entity.
Expenses are recognised on an accruals basis. Disbursements that will not generate future economic benefits or which do not qualify for recognition as an asset are recognised immediately.
Fair value is defined as the price that would be collected for the sale of an asset or that would be paid for the transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market players at the valuation date.
The valuation is calculated on the premise that the transaction is carried out on the main market, i.e. the market with the largest volume or activity of the asset or liability. In the absence of a main market, it is assumed that the transaction is carried out on the most advantageous market, i.e. that which maximises the amount received from selling the asset or that which minimises the amount paid to transfer the liability.
The fair value of the asset or the liability is determined by applying the assumptions that would be made by the market players at the time the price of the asset or liability is set, on the understanding that the market players are acting in their best economic interests. The market players are independent of each other, they are well informed, they can carry out a transaction with the asset or liability, and are motivated to carry out the transaction but are not in any way obliged or forced to do so.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value may be classified on the following levels (see Note 18.6):
ENDESA uses valuation tools to measure the fair value of assets and liabilities that are suited to the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available to appraise fair value, making maximum use of major observable variables and minimum use of non-observable variables.
Basic net earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit for the period attributable to the Parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares of the Parent Company held by ENDESA.
The basic earnings per share of continuing and discontinued operations are calculated by dividing profit after tax of continuing and discontinued operations, respectively, minus the portion corresponding to noncontrolling interests, by the weighted average number of ordinary shares of the Parent Company outstanding during the period, excluding the average number of shares of the Parent Company held by ENDESA.
In 2019 and 2018, ENDESA did not perform any potentially dilutive transactions that could cause diluted earnings per share to differ from basic earnings per share (See Note 14.1.11).
Dividends are recognised when the right to collect them is generated.
Dividends are recognised as a reduction in equity on the date on which they are approved by the competent body, which is usually the board of directors in the case of interim dividends and the shareholders at their general meeting of shareholders in the case of dividends charged against reserves or final dividends (see Note 14.1.9).
Where ENDESA employees participate in a cash remuneration scheme tied to ENDESA, S.A. share prices, and this Company assumes the cost of the scheme, ENDESA recognises the fair value of ENDESA's obligation to employees as an expense under the heading "Personnel expenses" in the Consolidated Income Statement (see Note 34.3.5).
The statement of Cash Flows reflects the changes in cash occurring during the year in relation to both continuing and discontinued operations, calculated using the indirect method (see Note 32). The following terms are used in the consolidated Statements of Cash Flows with the meanings specified:
Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 on the Electricity Sector, which repeals and replaces Law 54/1997 of 27 November 1997, which included the basic regulation of the Electricity Sector, established the new general framework for the operation of the sector and the regime of activities and agents. The most significant aspects of this scheme are the following:
Along with this basic law, since 2012 various provisions have also been approved to reduce the deficit of regulated activities and guarantee the financial stability of the system. These include Royal Decree-Law 9/2013 of 12 July 2013 adopting urgent measures to guarantee the financial stability of the electricity system and modifying, inter alia, the remuneration system for generating facilities using renewable energy, cogeneration and waste, and electricity transmission and distribution activities.
Additionally, Law 15/2012 of 27 December 2012 on fiscal measures for energy sustainability, which came into force on 1 January 2013, introduced new taxes (or amendments to existing taxes) affecting generating facilities. Specifically, it introduced the following taxes:
The provisions of this law stipulate that the taxes collected, along with other sums from the auction of greenhouse gas emission rights, will be used to finance the costs of the electricity system.
Along with the above provisions, the government has approved various regulatory implementing regulations on the various activities associated with the supply of electrical energy.
Additionally, as a result of the energy transition process, as well as the adaptation of the functions of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) to community regulations, the Government has approved certain amendments of the current regime, which are detailed later in this document.

Royal Decree 1048/2013 of 27 December 2013 was published on 30 December 2013, establishing the methodology for calculating remuneration for power distribution, developing the provisions of Royal Decree Law 9/2013 of 12 July 2012 and Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013. These aim to provide a stable predictable methodology to guarantee, under homogeneous criteria nationwide, appropriate return at the lowest possible cost to the system. The chief aspects of this methodology are as follows:
The format established in the Royal Decree will apply when the first regulatory period commences, and until that time the transitory system established in Royal Decree-Law 9/2013 of 12 July 2013 will be applicable.
On 28 November 2015, the Official State Gazette published Royal Decree 1073/2015, of 27 November 2015, which modifies certain provisions in the Royal Decrees on the remuneration of electricity networks (Royal Decree 1047/2013, of 27 December 2013, for transmission, and Royal Decree 1048/2013, of 27 December 2013, for distribution). Among other aspects, Royal Decree 1073/2015 of 27 November 2015 eliminates the yearly update of unitary values based on the CPI, in accordance with Law 2/2015 of 30 March 2015 on deindexing the economy.
On 12 December, 2015, Ministerial Order IET/2660/2015, of 11 December 2015 was published, establishing the types of installations and unitary value to be used in calculating distribution remuneration. This Order set the beginning of the first regulatory period at 1 January 2016.
On 17 June 2016, Order IET/980/2016 of 10 June 2016 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the remuneration of the distribution activity for 2016, assigning ENDESA a remuneration for the development of this activity of Euros 2,032 million (Euros 2,040 million considering the incentives), of which Euros 2,014 million and Euros 2,023 million respectively corresponded to ENDESA Distribución Eléctrica, S.L.U. On 15 September 2017, the announcement of the General Sub-directorate of Resources, Claims and Relations with the Ministry of Justice was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), informing of the hearing procedures for the order issued by the Ministry of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda, initiating the procedure to file a declaration of adverse effect on the public interest of Ministerial Order IET/980/2016 of 10 June 2016.
Meanwhile, in December 2017, the then Ministry of Energy, Tourism and Digital Agenda initiated the processing of the Order by which the remuneration of the distribution for 2017 is established, corresponding to ENDESA a remuneration for the development of this activity of Euros 2,116 million (Euros 2,092 million considering the incentives), of which Euros 2,094 million and Euros 2,070 million, respectively, correspond to Edistribución Redes Digitales, S.L.U.
In relation to the remuneration of the distribution activity for 2018 and 2019, at the date of issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the processing of the corresponding Ministerial Order had yet to be started.
In accordance with Royal Decree Law 1/2019 of 11 January 2019, the remuneration methodology from 2020 will be established by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC).
The amounts recognised in application of this regulation at 31 December 2019 are described in Note 18.1.1 and 24.
Electricity supply activities in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) are subject to a specific regulation addressing the particular nature of their geographic locations. This special regulation was initially developed by Royal Decree 1747/2003 of 19 December 2003 and the Ministerial Orders of 30 March 2006 implementing this Royal Decree.
The main element of the non-mainland regulatory system was that electricity production was regarded as an activity with regulated remunerated, unlike in the Iberian Peninsula, in view of the specific features of these systems.
On 30 October 2013, Law 17/2013 of 29 October 2013 was published in the Official State Gazette. Its aim was to provide a better guarantee of supply and to increase competition in non-mainland systems, the main aspects being as follows:
There is a possibility of reducing remuneration at facilities in non-mainland electricity systems in the event of a substantial decrease in their availability, the guarantee of supply or the supply quality indexes attributed to generating facilities. It is also possible that the government will take action in the electricity sector to guarantee supply in situations of risk.
On 1 August 2015, the Spanish Official State Gazette published Royal Decree 738/2015 of 31 July 2015 on Non-Mainland Territories (TNP) generation. This Royal Decree established a scheme similar to the current scheme, made up of remuneration for fixed costs, which comprises fixed investment and fixed operations and maintenance costs, and for variable costs, including fuel and variable operations and maintenance costs, also taking into account, within the costs of these systems, the taxes arising from Law 15/2012 of 27 December 2012 on tax measures for energy sustainability. Certain aspects of the methodology are changed in order to improve the efficiency of the system. The Royal Decree also implements matters already contained in Law 17/2013 of 29 October 2013 to guarantee supply and increase competition in these systems.
The Royal Decree was set to enter into force from 1 September 2015, considering a transitory period as from 1 January 2012 for certain measures. In accordance with Additional Provision Eleven, its full and definitive effectiveness is subordinated to the non-existence of objections by the European Commission with respect to its compatibility with the EU regulations in question.
In accordance with Electricity Sector Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013, the financial remuneration rate of the net investment recognised will be tied to the return on the 10-year treasury bills on the secondary market plus the appropriate spread. For the first regulatory period, which runs until 31 December 2019, this rate will correspond to the average return of the price on the secondary market of the 10-year treasury bills for April, May and June 2013, plus 200 basis points.
Pursuant to the introduction of Law 6/2018 of 3 July 2018, of the General State Budget (PGE) for the year, Order TEC/1158/2018 of 29 October 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette. It envisages establishing an additional remuneration system for certain facilities in Gran Canaria, Tenerife and Menorca, based on the investments that must be implemented in order to comply with applicable environmental regulations (see Notes 3e.4, 6.4, 9 and 28).
On 28 December 2019, Order TEC/1260/2019 of 26 December 2019 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), revising the technical and economic parameters for the remuneration of generating plants in the Non-Mainland Territories (TNP) for the following regulatory period (2020-2025). This order sets the new values that will be applicable in the second regulatory period (2020-2025) for the different technical and economic parameters of the groups that determine the remuneration of the generation plants of the Non-Mainland Territories (TNP), applying the methodology already included in Royal Decree 738/2015 of 31 July 2015.
This Order also contemplates, in relation to fuel prices, that before three months, product and logistics prices will be reviewed by Ministerial Order, effective 1 January 2020. In this regard, on 20 February 2020, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has begun processing a proposed Order revising the prices of products and logistics to be used in determining the price of fuel for production facilities in the Non-mainland Territories (TNP), with effect from 1 January 2020.
The amounts recognised in application of this regulation at 31 December 2019 are described in Note 18.1.1 and 24.
Royal Decree 413/2014 of 6 June 2014 approved a new remuneration framework for facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste, following Royal Decree Law 9/2013 of 12 July 2013 adopting urgent measures to ensure the financial stability of the electricity system, and Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 on the Electricity Sector.
The new methodology replaces the previous regulated tariff structure with a new framework that applies the concept of reasonable return, guaranteeing a profit before tax based on the average yield of 10-year treasury bills plus 300 basis points. Under this new framework, in addition to remuneration for the sale of electricity valued at market price, facilities will be eligible to receive a specific remuneration consisting of a term per unit of installed capacity which covers, where appropriate, the investment costs for a standard facility that cannot
be recovered through electricity sales on the market, which is referred to as remuneration for investment, and an operating term which covers, where applicable, the difference between the operating costs and the income from the investment on the production market for this standard facility, which is referred to as remuneration for operations.
The new remuneration system will be applied equally to facilities already in operation and new facilities. For new facilities, granting of the specific remuneration regime will be established through a series of competitive procedures.
In non-mainland Territories (TNP), an incentive is established for investment when generation costs are reduced.
The regulation also establishes the terms under which remuneration parameters should be reviewed. These may be only be modified, depending on the case, every six years, every three years or every year. The standard value of the initial investment and the regulatory useful life of the asset will remain unchanged once they have been recognised for each standard facility.
Ministerial Order IET/1045/2014 of 16 June 2014 approving the remuneration parameters for standard facilities applicable to certain facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources, cogeneration and waste, and establishing specific values for the standard costs for each of the standard facilities defined, was published in the Official State Gazette on 20 June 2014.
Lastly, Ministerial Order IET/1459/2014 of 1 August 2014 approving the remuneration parameters and establishing a mechanism for allocating remuneration for new wind and photovoltaic facilities in nonmainland electricity systems, was published in the Spanish Official State Gazette on 5 August 2014.
Ministerial Order ETU/130/2017 of 17 February 2017 was published on 22 February 2017, updating the remuneration parameters of standard installations, for the purposes of their application to the regulatory halfperiod commencing 1 January 2017.
On 10 January 2020, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge initiated the processing of a proposed Order updating the remuneration parameters for standard facilities for the second regulatory period (2020-2025), with effect from 1 January 2020.
The amounts recognised in application of this regulation at 31 December 2019 are described in Note 18.1.1 and 24.
On 1 April 2017 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published Royal Decree 359/2017 of 31 March 2017 establishing a call for assigning the specific remuneration system for new renewable energy production facilities through an auction with a maximum installed power of 3,000 MW.
This Royal Decree was enacted by Order ETU/315/2017 of 6 April 2017 regulating the procedure for assigning the specific remuneration system in each auction, in addition to the remuneration parameters for reference and standard facilities, and characteristics of the auction, and the Resolutions issued by the Secretary of State for Energy on 10 April 2017 approving the call for an auction and the terms and conditions thereof.
As a result of this auction, which took place on 17 May 2017, ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 540 MW of wind power (see Notes 2.3.1 and 6.2).
Additionally, on 17 June 2017, Royal Decree 650/2017 of 16 June 2017 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing a new installed capacity quota of 3,000 MW for new plants that generate power using renewable energy sources, enacted by Order ETU/615/2017 of 27 June 2017, which establishes the assignment procedure and remuneration parameters for the auction, the Resolution issued by the Secretary of State for Energy on 30 June 2017, calling for an auction for the assignment of the specific remuneration regime for new renewable energy production facilities, pursuant to Royal Decree 650/2017 of 16 June 2017.
As a result of this auction, which took place on 26 July 2017, ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 339 MW of photovoltaic capacity (see Notes 2.3.1 and 6.2).
On 25 December 2018 Order TEC/1380/2018 of 20 December 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the regulatory bases for the granting of investment aid for electricity production facilities based on wind and photovoltaic technologies located in the Electrical Systems of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP), co-financed with funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
On 27 December 2018 the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE) approved a Resolution with the call for auctions of aid for investment in wind facilities in the territory of the Canary Islands with an allocation of Euros 80 million and for a maximum power of 217 MW. On 27 June 2019, the final resolution was published, and ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded wind power of 16.1 MW. The deadline for the installation and commissioning of renewable energy facilities established in the Resolution is 30 June 2022.
Also, on 27 March 2019, the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings ("IDAE") passed a Resolution convening auctions of subsidies for investment in photovoltaic facilities in the Balearic Islands, with an allocation of Euros 40 million. On 28 November 2019, the final resolution was published, and ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 72.4 MW of solar power. The deadline for the installation and commissioning of renewable energy facilities established in the Resolution is 30 December 2022 (see Note 2.3.1).
On 10 October 2015, the Official State Gazette published Royal Decree 900/2015 of 9 October 2015, which regulates the administrative, technical and economic requirements for supplying and generating electricity for self-consumption, establishing a regulatory framework which guarantees the economic sustainability of the system and the appropriate distribution of system costs.
It also stipulates the tolls and charges payable for self-consumption, in accordance with Electricity Sector Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013, which already established that self-consumption must contribute to financing the costs and services of the system in the same amount as other consumers. There are two exceptions to this rule in which consumers are exempt from paying costs:
Accordingly, a record of self-consumption facilities has been created in order for the System Operator and electricity distributors to be aware of the generation facilities in their networks and to therefore ensure the correct operation of the Electricity System under safe conditions.
On 6 October 2018, Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 was published, amending certain aspects of the regulation of self-consumption.
On 6 April 2019, Royal Decree 244/2019 of 5 April 2019 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), regulating the administrative, technical and economic conditions for self-consumption of electric power, in compliance with the provisions of Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection.
Royal Decree 244/2019 of 5 April 2019 covers the following aspects, among others:
Together with individual self-consumption connected to an internal network, it also covers group selfconsumption, whereby several consumers can connect to the same generation plant (for example, in associations of owners or among companies or industries in the same location).
On 10 June 2017, Royal Decree Law 10/2017 of 9 June 2017 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing specific urgent measures to mitigate the effects of drought in certain river basins, amending the current Water Law.
Among other aspects, this Royal Decree Law modifies the tax rate for the use of inland water for the production of electricity, from 22% to 25.5%, adjusting the reduction percentage for installations of up to 50 MW in order to compensate for the increase in the tax rate.
On 23 November 2017, Order ETU/1133/2017 of 21 November 2017 was published, amending Order IET/2013/2013 of 31 October 2013 regulating the competitive mechanism for assigning the management service for interruptibility demand.
Among other aspects, the Order amends the remuneration for the availability service, extends the service to the first half of 2018 and eliminates hydroelectric facilities from the collection of this availability service during this period.
Order TEC/1366/2018 of 20 December 2018, establishing electricity access tariffs for 2019, repealed the incentive for availability of Order ITC/3127/2011 of 17 November 2011, until the capacity mechanisms are reviewed for adaptation to European regulations and the energy transition process.
Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 required that the subsidised electricity tariff cost must be assumed, as a public service obligation, by parent companies or vertically-integrated groups of companies carrying out electricity generation, distribution and supply activities, to assume the cost of the subsidised electricity tariff in proportion to a percentage based on both their number of supply connections to distribution grids and the number of customers supplied, set for ENDESA at 41.10% in 2016 under Ministerial Order IET/1451/2016 of 8 September 2016.
Despite the foregoing, in the Ruling of 24 October 2016 the Contentious-Administrative Section of the Supreme Court declared the Social Bonus financing system established by article 45.4 of Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 to be inapplicable, since it was incompatible with Directive 2009/72/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 July 2009, concerning common rules for the internal market in electricity,
and acknowledged the right of companies to recover the amounts paid. The State administration submitted an application for dismissal of the Supreme Court Ruling, which was overruled in a motion handed down on 14 December 2016, and on 2 February 2017 an appeal was submitted against this motion before the Constitutional Court (see Note 16.3).
On 3 October 2017 and 27 December 2017, Order ETU/929/2017 of 28 September 2017 and Order ETU/1288/2017 of 22 December 2017, respectively, were published, implementing the different rulings handed down in this respect and the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) is ordered to pay the amounts corresponding to the Social Bonus for 2014, 2015 and 2016 (see Note 16.3).
On 24 December 2016, Royal Decree Law 7/2016 of 23 December 2016 was published, regulating the mechanism for financing the cost of the Social Bonus and other measures to protect vulnerable consumers of electricity. In accordance with said Royal Decree Law, the Social Bonus will be assumed by the parent companies of the Groups of companies that develop the activity of supply of electrical energy, or by the companies themselves that do so if they are not part of any corporate group, in the percentage corresponding to the market share. This percentage will be calculated annually by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC).
The sole transitional provision of the Royal Decree Law established the percentage distribution for the Social Bonus to be applied since it came into effect, with 37.7% corresponding to ENDESA in 2017.
7 October 2017 saw the publication of Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017 regarding vulnerable consumers, the Social Bonus and other protection measures for domestic electricity energy consumers, as well as Order ETU/943/2017 of 6 October 2017 implementing Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017.
Among other aspects, three categories of vulnerable customers have been identified based on the average income level through the Spanish Public Income Index (IPREM), establishing different discount percentages according to each category. The three categories are:
This Royal Decree also regulates other aspects relating to supply and, among others, raises from two to four months the term for cutting off of supply to vulnerable customers (severely vulnerable customers at risk of social exclusion cannot be cut off as power is considered to be a basic supply).
Furthermore, on 7 April 2018, Order ETU/361/2018 of 6 April 2018,was published, amending the Social Bonus application forms established in Order ETU/943/2017 of 6 October 2017 implementing Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017, regulating the definition of vulnerable consumers, the Social Bonus and other protection measures for domestic consumers of electricity. Furthermore, this Order extended the existing transitional period until 8 October 2018 for consumers of electricity who, on the date of entry into force of Order ETU/943/2017 of 6 October 2017 were beneficiaries of the Social Bonus, to prove the status of vulnerable consumer in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017. However, according to Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018, if these consumers had applied for the Social Bonus between 8 October 2018 and 31 December 2018, they could have benefited from it of it from 8 October 2018.
Order TEC/1080/2019 of 23 October 2019 established the distribution percentage of the financing of the 2019 Social Bonus, the percentage corresponding to ENDESA, S.A. being 36.26%, compared with the previous 37.15%.
On 28 January 2020 the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge began the process of hearing on the proposal for an Order establishing the distribution of financing of the Social Bonus for 2020, the percentage proposed for ENDESA, S.A. being 35.57%

Royal Decree-Laws 6/2009 of 30 April 2009 and 6/2010 of 9 April 2010 stipulated that from 2013 grid access charges established should be sufficient to cover all electricity system costs, so that ex ante no further deficits would be generated. For the 2009-2012 period, Royal Decree Law 6/2009 of 30 April 2009 capped the deficit for each year and the access charges established for those years must be sufficient to prevent those limits being exceeded. These limits were changed by Royal Decree-Laws 14/2010 of 23 December 2010 and 29/2012 of 28 December 2012.
The aforementioned Royal Decree-Laws in turn regulated the securitisation of the collection rights accumulated by the electricity companies in financing that deficit, including compensation for as yet unrecovered extra costs in non-mainland generation for the 2001-2008 period.
The legislation also requires that, in the event of any mismatch in the timing of settlements of regulated activities, a certain percentage should be financed by the companies specified in the above-mentioned legislation (44.16% corresponds to ENDESA), and that these companies are entitled to recover the amounts paid in settlements of regulated activities for the year in which they are recognised.
Royal Decree 437/2010 of 9 April 2010 regulated the securitisation of the electricity system deficit generated up to 31 December 2012, and Royal Decree 1054/2014 of 12 December 2014 regulated the deficit generated in 2013. With the transfers made under these Royal Decrees, the last of which was agreed on 15 December 2014, all of the rights recognised for the tariff deficit up to 2013 have been transferred.
For the years beginning in 2014, Law 24/2013, of 26 December 2013, on the Electricity Sector, established that any temporary imbalances that might arise would be financed by all parties to the settlements system in proportion to the remuneration allocated to them, limited to a maximum annual amount of 2% of the estimated system revenue (or 5% in cumulative terms). If these limits are exceeded, access fees or charges will be revised by an equivalent amount. Within these limits, the mismatches will entitle the financing parties to recover those funds in the following five years, at an equivalent market interest rate.
The final settlements of the years 2016, 2017 and 2018, approved by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC), presented surpluses of Euros 421 million, Euros 150 million and Euros 96 million respectively.
Article 7 of Order TEC/1366/2018 of 20 December 2018, which establishes the electricity access tariffs for 2019, states that the strictly necessary amount of the System's revenue surplus will be used to cover the temporary imbalance that may arise in 2018 and 2019.
The amounts recognised in application of this regulation at 31 December 2019 are described in Note 18.1.1.
The European Union has made a clear commitment in the fight against global warming, setting a goal of reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of, at least, 80% in 2050 vs 1990, and defining ambitious goals and objectives for all member states. It also signed the Paris Agreement, the aim of which is to prevent the planet from warming by more than 2ºC compared with pre-industrial levels, in addition to other efforts to ensure the global rise in temperature does not exceed 1.5ºC.
These targets are currently being transposed into Spanish law and on 22 February 2019, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge opened a public consultation on the Strategic Energy and Climate Framework, containing mainly the following documents:
On 5 April 2019, the Council of Ministers approved the National Strategy against Energy Poverty 2019-2024, in response to the mandate contained in Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 on urgent measures for energy transition and consumer protection.
In this instrument the concepts of energy poverty and vulnerable consumer are defined, a diagnosis of the situation of energy poverty is made, including the implications for health, personal, social and equality development, action paths are determined and objectives for reduction are set.
The National Strategy against Energy Poverty is based on the need to maintain and improve the benefit systems (electricity and thermal Social Bonus) as transitional instruments that will gradually give greater prominence to structural measures that seek to address the root causes and long-term implications of the problem.
In order to analyse and carry out an appropriate monitoring of the various types of energy poverty, the official primary indicators adopted are those contemplated by the European Observatory against energy poverty (energy expenditure as a percentage of income, hidden energy poverty, inability to keep the home at an appropriate temperature and late payment of bills). In order to improve the lowest value in the series of these indicators in 2008-2017, and raise the European Union average, the Strategy establishes a minimum reduction objective of 25% in 2025 (vs 2017), with a target of 50%.
The time frame of the National Strategy against Energy Poverty will be 5 years (2019-2024), and for its execution the development of operational plans is envisaged. Its management and monitoring will correspond to the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE).
The National Strategy against Energy Poverty establishes four lines comprising 19 concrete measures:
favoured and mechanisms must be implemented for coordinated management among the Public Administrations involved. Exceptional responses are also dealt with, such as the prohibition of supply cuts for extreme weather situations.
On 21 January 2020 the Council of Ministers approved a Declaration on the Climate and Environmental Emergency in Spain, committing itself to adopt 30 priority lines of action to combat climate change with transversal policies. This Declaration is made in response to the general consensus of the scientific community, which demands urgent action to safeguard the environment and the health and safety of citizens.
In the Declaration, the Executive undertakes to execute five of the aforementioned 30 measures in the first 100 days of Government:
On 29 March 2014, Royal Decree 216/2014 of 28 March 2014 was published, establishing the methodology for calculating the Small Consumer Voluntary Price (PVPC) from 1 April 2014, the main aspects of which were as follows:
This new mechanism was applied from 1 April 2014. The suppliers of reference had to adapt their IT systems before 1 July 2014 in order to invoice consumers under the new scheme. In the meantime, the cost of energy to be applied in the PVPC was the temporary price established for the first quarter of 2014. Subsequently, the cost was adjusted in invoices for consumption from 1 April 2014, in the first billing period after suppliers' IT systems were duly adapted for the new PVPC.
In the same way, electricity consumed in the first quarter of 2014 had to be adjusted in the first invoices issued following adaptation of the IT systems, as per Royal Decree Law 17/2013 of 27 December 2013, taking into account the spread between the market price and the cost of purchasing energy included in the PVPC in that period.
Hourly billing procedures for the Small Consumer Voluntary Price (PVPC) were published on 4 June 2015. Under these procedures, from 1 July 2015, consumers with an integrated remote meter would be billed according to their real hourly consumption instead of their consumption profile. Notwithstanding the above, electricity companies had until 1 October 2015 to adapt their IT systems.
On 25 November 2016, the Spanish Official State Gazette (BOE) published Royal Decree 469/2016 of 18 November 2016 establishing the methodology for calculating the trading margin on the Small Consumer Voluntary Price (PVPC), thus complying with various rulings handed down by the Supreme Court that annulled the trading margin contained in Royal Decree 216/2014 of 28 March 2014 establishing the procedure for calculating Small Consumer Voluntary Prices (PVPC) for electricity and the legal framework for contracting power.
On 24 December 2016, Ministerial Order ETU/1948/2016 of 22 December 2016 was published, which came into force on 1 January 2017, and establishes the trading margin on the Small Consumer Voluntary Price (PVPC). By means of Ministerial Order ETU/258/2017 of 24 March 2017, published on 25 March 2017 and entering into force the following day, a new value was set for the part of said trading margin corresponding to the cost of contribution to the National Fund for Energy Efficiency.
Law 18/2014 of 15 October 2014 approving urgent measures to boost growth, competitiveness and efficiency, created, as regards energy efficiency, the National Fund for Energy Efficiency in order to achieve the objective of energy savings.
Order ETU/332/2019 of 16 March 2019 entailed a contribution by ENDESA to the Energy Efficiency National Fund of Euros 29 million, corresponding to its 2019 obligations.
In December 2019, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge began processing a proposed Order establishing the contribution to the National Fund for Energy Efficiency for 2020, of which ENDESA's share is Euros 24.7 million.
On 22 December 2018 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published Order TEC/1366/2018 of 20 December 2018 establishing the access tariffs for 2019, which remained unchanged. It should be noted that this Order abolished the availability incentive of Order ITC/3127/2011 of 17 November 2011 until such time as the capacity mechanisms for its alignment with European regulations and the energy transition process are revised.
Ministerial Order TEC/1258/2019 of 20 December 2019 establishing access tariffs for 2020, was published in the Official State Gazette on 28 December 2019. Electricity access tariffs remain unchanged until the tariffs to be set by the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) come into force.
On 5 October 2018 the Council of Ministers approved Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection, published in the Official State Gazette (BOE) on 6 October 2018. This Royal Decree Law contains a series of urgent measures aimed at providing greater support for vulnerable groups and increasing consumer protection through policies that allow tariffs to be more effectively adjusted to consumption. The law also implements measures to speed up the transition to a decarbonised economy based on renewable energies, driving energy efficiency and electric mobility.
The first block of measures is designed to protect vulnerable consumer groups. The group of beneficiaries eligible for the Social Bonus has been extended to include single-parent families, and families with grade 2 or 3 dependants that fall below certain income thresholds. Further, the cases in which supply may not be cut off due to payments in arrears for vulnerable consumers have been extended to include families approved by the social services with children under the age of 16, or dependants or disabled family members, where these amounts will be covered by the groups obliged to fund the Social Bonus. The maximum consumption levels with a right to a discount has also been increased. Regarding the beneficiaries of the previous Social Bonus, whose renewal period ended on 8 October 2018, the Royal Decree Law provides that those who, fulfilling the requirements of the new Social Bonus, request it between 8 October 2018 and 31 December 2018, it would be applied to them with effect from 8 October 2018. Finally, a thermal Social Bonus for heating is created, which will be financed by the General State Budget (PGE). This Royal Decree Law contemplates the approval in 6 months of a National Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty. In this regard, on 19 December 2018, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge initiated a public consultation on the matter.
A second group of measures aims to protect consumers and includes more flexibility in terms of contracting power, in addition to obliging suppliers to include on consumers' bills the amount that they would have to pay if tariffs with time constraints were applied.
A third group of measures is designed to promote self-consumption, simplifying the types available and enabling shared self-consumption, while eliminating charges and tolls for self-consumption based on renewables, cogeneration or waste. The Royal Decree Law also features measures to simplify administrative and technical processes, especially for small power facilities. In development of the provisions of the Royal Decree Law, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge has begun the processing of a bill for a Royal Decree.
The fourth block of measures seeks to increase the penetration of renewable energies and electric mobility. Therefore, to facilitate the commissioning of the renewable power awarded in recent auctions, the access and connection licences granted prior to Law 24/2013, of 26 December 2013, governing the electricity system, which would have expired on 31 December 2018, have been extended until 31 March 2020. With regard to electric mobility, the load manager role has been abolished to facilitate the deployment of these services.
The last block contains measures associated with tax aspects and System sustainability. For the last quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, the tax on the value of electricity production was suspended, and the special tax on hydrocarbons for electricity generation was abolished. To ensure the sustainability of the
electricity system, the income deriving from auctions of CO2 emission rights used to cover costs in the electricity system was increased, and authorisation was given for the system surplus to be used to reduce imbalances in 2018 and 2019.
Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 was approved by the Spanish Parliament on 18 October 2018 and approved for processing as a Draft Law.
On 12 January 2019 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published this Royal Decree Law, intended to adapt the competences of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) to EU law, following requests made by the EU authorities.
According to this Royal Decree Law, the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) will be responsible for approving, via circulars, aspects such as the structure, methodology and specific values of access tariffs for natural gas and electricity transmission and distribution networks, and for liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants; the methodology and parameters for establishing remuneration for the transmission and distribution of gas and electricity, liquefied natural gas plants (LNG), the gas System operator and technical manager, and remuneration on transmission and distribution within the maximum limit established by the government.
The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge will approve a series of energy policy guidelines that the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) will have to take into consideration, and which will cover aspects such as security of supply, the economic and financial sustainability of the System, independence of supply, air quality, efforts to combat climate change, demand management, selection of future technologies and the rational use of energy. The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge will have one month in which to approve circulars of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) that affect energy policy matters or concern tariffs, remuneration of regulated activities, access and connection conditions and the rules for operating the Electricity and Gas System. In the event of any discrepancy, a Cooperation Committee will work to reach an understanding.
The new functions of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) will apply in any case from 1 January 2020. Any procedures begun prior to this Royal Decree Law coming into force, as well as any procedure which, regardless of when it was initiated, refers to years prior to 2019, will be dealt with in accordance with previous regulations.
The Royal Decree Law also amends certain aspects of Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 on the electricity sector. Regarding the rate of financial remuneration for transmission and distribution, which by virtue of the Royal Decree Law will be established by the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC), the government will set in law a maximum limit on its value, linked to 10-year government bonds in the 24 months prior to the month of May of the year preceding the start of each new regulatory period, plus a spread to be established for each regulatory period. If at the start of the new period this limit has not been established, the maximum limit corresponding to the previous period will be extended, or failing this, the rate of remuneration from the previous period will be used.
As for generation activity covered by the additional remuneration regime in Non-mainland Territories (TNP), the rate of financial remuneration will be set by the government. This rate may be modified before the start of each regulatory period, linked to 10-year government bonds in the 24 months prior to the month of May in the year preceding the start of each new regulatory period, plus a spread to be established by law for each regulatory period. If at the start of a new regulatory period this rate of financial remuneration has not been established, that of the previous regulatory period will be deemed to be extended.
Finally, regarding facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources, high efficiency cogeneration, and waste, under specific remuneration regimes, in the review corresponding to each regulatory period the value on which the reasonable rate of return is based over the remaining regulatory life of standard facilities may be amended, and will be established by law.
This Royal Decree Law, published in the Official State Gazette on 8 December, seeks to drive the competitiveness of the industrial sector via action to improve labour productivity, cut energy costs and bolster industrial security. Among other aspects, the Royal Decree Law introduces the concept of closed electricity distribution networks, which are already envisaged in EU regulations, and announced the preparation of a statute for electro-intensive industrial consumers, adapted to their specific requirements. The regulation likewise envisages extending the lives of certain high efficiency cogeneration facilities for 2 years.
Royal Decree Law 1/2019 of 11 January 2019, among other aspects, establishes that the Government must approve before 1 January 2020 the methodology for calculating the charges of the Electricity and Gas Systems. Therefore, in May 2019 the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge opened a public consultation prior to drawing up the Royal Decree establishing the calculation methodology to be used for Electricity and Gas System charges and their structure, in order to gather the opinions of all agents and parties involved.
This methodology must establish which variables to use to distribute the costs that have to be covered by the charges, so that the distribution is not discriminatory and conforms to the energy policies promoted by the Government, that is, that boost efficiency, the electrification of the economy and the fair energy transition.
In accordance with Royal Decree Law 1/2019 of 11 January 2019 it will fall to the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) to assume a series of competences, including the approval and setting, by means of Circulars, of certain regulatory aspects.
In this context, the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) has carried out a public consultation process on various Circulars, the most significant ones being the following, some of which have already been approved:
On 23 October 2019, the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) approved Communication 1/2019, which defines a set of financial ratios for assessing the level of indebtedness and the economic and financial capacity of regulated companies, proposing recommended values for these ratios and creating a global index of ratios that would have an impact on the remuneration below certain values.
The scope of application covers the transport and distribution activities of the electricity and gas sectors. Additionally, for purposes of assessing acquisitions or other equity investments it could also be applied to companies carrying on activities in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) in the Electricity Sector, and to companies that carry on activities in the oil and gas sector.
On 23 November 2019, Royal Decree Law 17/2019 of 22 November 2019 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), adopting urgent measures for the necessary adaptation of remuneration parameters affecting the electricity system (financial remuneration rate) and responding to the rapid process of cessation of activity of thermal power plants, in order to boost the industrial reactivation of the areas affected. The most significant aspects are:
On 22 May 2015, Law 8/2015 of 21 May 2015 on the hydrocarbons sector was published, amending Law 34/1998 of 7 October 1998 and establishing certain tax and non-tax measures in respect of exploration for, research into and extraction of hydrocarbons, one of its objectives being to amend the Hydrocarbons Law to bring it more into line with the current situation, so as to increase competition and transparency in the hydrocarbons sector, reduce fraud, ensure a greater consumer protection, reduce costs for the consumer and adapt the rules on infringements and penalties.
With respect to natural gas, the law seeks to create an organised natural market that offers consumers more competitive and transparent prices and allows the entry of new suppliers to increase competition. An Operator for the organised gas market is also appointed, any authorised natural gas installer may carry out inspections (this was previously the responsibility of distributors), the entry of new suppliers is encouraged through the mutual recognition of licences to supply natural gas to other EU-member countries where there is an existing agreement; and certain measures have been adopted regarding minimum security inventories so as to, but without impairing the security of supply, give suppliers greater flexibility at a lower cost, enabling the Corporation for Strategic Oils Reserves (CORES) to maintain strategic natural gas inventories.
On 31 October 2015, Royal Decree 984/2015 of 30 October 2015 was published, regulating the organised gas market and third-party access to the installations of the Gas System. This Royal Decree contains the basic regulations for the operation of this gas market, along with other measures, such as the inspection procedures for gas installations.
On 13 December 2017, following the resolution of the Council of Ministers dated 10 November 2017, a resolution was published establishing the terms and conditions governing the service making it mandatory for the dominant operators, which include ENDESA, to act as market makers.
On 22 December 2018 Order TEC/1367/2018 of 20 December 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the gas access tolls for 2019, which were maintained unchanged, and on 28 December 2018 the Resolution of 26 December was published, with the "Last Resort" Rates (TUR) for natural gas to be applied from 1 January 2019, resulting in an average reduction of approximately 4%, due to the reduction in the cost of the raw material.
On 30 March 2019, the Official State Gazette published the Resolution of the Directorate General of Energy Policy and Mines of 22 March 2019, establishing the last resort tariff (TUR) for natural gas applicable from 1 April 2019. Depending on whether this is Last Resort Tariff 1 (TUR1) or Last Resort Tariff 2 (TUR2), this will decrease by an average of 5.2% and 6.6% respectively compared with the previous quarter due to lower raw material costs.
On 28 December 2019, Order TEC/1259/2019 of 20 December 2019 establishing access tariffs for gas for 2020, which remained unchanged, and on 30 December 2019, the Resolution of 23 December of the General Directorate for Energy Policy and Mines establishing the Last Resort Tariff (LRT) for natural gas applicable from 1 January 2020, implying an average reduction of 3.3% for TUR 1 and 4.2% for TUR2 due to lower raw material costs, were published in the Official State Gazette (BOE).
During 2019, the following corporate acquisitions were completed (see Notes 2.3.1 and 8.2):

The price agreed for all the aforementioned transactions totalled Euros 40 million, the net cash outflow being Euros 37 million (see Note 32.2).
Through the acquisition of wind and solar projects, ENDESA reinforces its presence in the Iberian generation market, expanding the portfolio of renewable assets in its production mix.
The acquisition of these companies involved recognising an intangible asset of Euros 40 million in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, corresponding almost entirely to the value of licences for the development of wind farms and solar plant projects, which will be transferred to Property, Plant and Equipment when construction of the renewable energy facilities begins (see Note 8).
The companies acquired are currently applying for the permits and licences to carry out their projects, so construction of the renewable energy facilities has not yet started and no ordinary revenue has been generated since acquisition date.
During 2018 the following corporate acquisitions were completed (see Notes 2.3.1 and 6.2):

The difference between the cost of the business combination and the fair value of the assets and liabilities recognised gave rise to goodwill of Euros 21 million for the synergies to be obtained in the transaction, based on the optimisation of ENDESA's position in the distribution market of the self-governing city of Ceuta, which will allow cost reductions to be achieved through joint management, improved grid operations and the pooling of processes (see Note 9).
Market references and generally accepted revenue-based valuation techniques were considered in determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
The assumptions made in the valuation approach for the acquired assets and assumed liabilities of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. determined their classification in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as explained in Note 3p.
Subsequently, in November and December 2018, an additional 1.7% of share capital was acquired for Euros 2 million (see Note 32.2) so that, at 31 December 2019, participation in the share capital of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. stands at 96.3%. These transactions had a negative impact on the equity of non-controlling interests of Euros 2 million (See Note 14.2).

The commitments corresponding to generation assets mainly concern investments in production facilities and will materialise from 2020.
In 2019, ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded 16.1 MW of wind power capacity and 72.4 MW of photovoltaic capacity in the 2 auctions carried out by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge and the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE), in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Canary Islands and Balearic Islands (see Note 4).
Based on this and ENDESA's objective of strengthening its presence in the Iberian generation market by expanding its portfolio of renewable assets in its production mix, at 31 December 2019 it had committed Euros 306 million to property, plant and equipment investments relating to electricity producing facilities from renewable sources, of which Euros 16 million corresponded to the auctions mentioned in the previous paragraph.
The commitments corresponding to distribution assets include investments aimed at expanding or improving the network, with a focus on digitalising the network, on strengthening and increasing the resilience of assets, on improving service quality and transforming processes and systems.

In the years 2019 and 2018, ENDESA's investments and expenses in environmental protection activities were the following:
Millions of Euros

During 2019 and 2018 impairment losses of Euros 1,757 million and Euros 153 million respectively were recognised, as per the following details:
| Notes | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Mainland coal-fired thermal power plants | 1,352 | - |
| Cash-generating Units (CGUs) of the Non-Mainland Territories (TNP) | 401 (1) | - |
| Alcudia thermal power plant (Balearic Islands) | - | 157 |
| Other | 4 | (4) |
| TOTAL 3e.4, 28 and 33.2 |
1,757 | 153 |
(1) Euros 14 million have been allocated to the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands).
The recoverable value of these assets at 31 December 2019 and 2018 was as follows:
| 31 December 2019 |
31 December 2018 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Mainland coal-fired thermal power plants | - | N/A |
| Cash-generating Units (CGUs) of the Non-Mainland Territories (TNP) | 1,485 (1) | N/A |
| Alcudia thermal power plant (Balearic Islands) | N/A | 828 |
| Other | - | 5 |
| TOTAL | 1,485 | 833 |
(1) Euros 71 million have been allocated to the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands).
During 2019 and 2018, the events leading to the main provisions for impairment were as follows:
The decision adopted by the Board of Directors on 27 September to discontinue the operation of mainland coal-fired thermal power plants signalled a change in the management of these assets to the extent that they are expected to cease generating cash flows, or these cash flows are expected to tend to zero, such that they have ceased to have an interdependence with the flows generated by the rest of the generation technologies (combined cycle, fuel-oil, nuclear and renewables, including hydroelectric) which are managed in an integrated manner within the Iberian Peninsula Generation Cash Generating Unit (CGU). Therefore, the assets of the Iberian Peninsula coal-fired thermal power plants ceased to be part of the Iberian Peninsula Generation CGU in 2019 and their impairment test was carried out individually on each coal-fired thermal power plant. Consequently, the analysis of the recoverable value of these assets at an individual level, taking into account that the cash flows of these plants are expected to be negative for the remainder of their lives, as a whole and on an annual basis, revealed an
impairment in value amounting to Euros 1,352 million, equivalent to the total carrying amount at 31 December 2019, including the amount of the provision for dismantling (see Note 3e.4).
ENDESA and its subsidiaries have taken out insurance policies to cover the risk of damage to their property, plant and equipment and any claims that could be filed against them in their business activities. ENDESA believes that these policies provide sufficient coverage for the risks to which it is exposed. Moreover, in certain assets, the possible loss of profits that could result from outages at the plants is covered. In 2019, pay-outs from insurance companies in relation to property damage arising from accidents amounted to Euros 5 million (Euros 5 million in 2018).
Under current legislation in Spain and pursuant to Law 24/2013 of 26 December 2013 on the electricity sector, ENDESA is insured for up to Euros 700 million against third-party liability claims for possible nuclear accidents at its plants. Any loss or damage in excess of this amount would be governed by the international conventions entered into by the Spanish state. The nuclear power plants are also insured against damage to their installations (including stocks of nuclear fuel) and machinery breakdowns, with maximum coverage of \$1,500 million (approximately Euros 1,336 million) for each power plant.
On 28 May 2011, the Spanish government published Law 12/2011 of 27 May 2011 on civil liability for nuclear damages or damage produced by radioactive materials which raises operator liability to Euros 1,200 million, while also allowing operators to cover this liability in several ways. The entry into force of this regulation is, in turn, subject to the entry into force of the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (Paris Convention), and the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention which complements the latter (Brussels Convention), which was pending ratification by certain European Union member States at the date on which these Consolidated Financial Statements were drawn up.
In 2019 and 2018, ENDESA submitted applications for authorisation to close the following thermal plants to the competent authorities. The net book value of these plants and the provision for their decommissioning is recorded under "Non-current provisions" in the consolidated statement of financial position as follows:

On 28 November 2019, ENDESA Generación, S.A.U. delivered to the Confederación Hidrográfica del Ebro all the infrastructures, works, land and assets used in the Lafortunada-Cinqueta Hydroelectric Power Plant, as a result of the resolution issued on 18 December 2017 by the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment (currently the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge and Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) ordering the extinction of the right to use the water of the River Cinqueta for industrial purposes and the reversion and delivery of all infrastructures involved in the operation of this Hydroelectric Power Plant (see Note 16.3). The carrying amount of this plant was zero at that date, so this operation had no impact on the Consolidated Income Statement.
At 31 December 2019, the Peña del Gato and Valdesamario wind farms, owned by Energías Especiales del Alto Ulla, S.A.U. (a company wholly owned by ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE)) are paralysed as a result of the cancellation of the related administrative authorisations (see Note 16.3).
Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment still in use amounted to Euros 266 million at 31 December 2019 (Euros 312 million at 31 December 2018).

In 2018, the City of Palma de Mallorca gave Edistribución Redes Digitales, S.L.U, possession of the building of the former headquarters of Gas y Electricidad Generación, S.A.U. and its adjacent plots of land, as a result of the ruling of the Higher Court of Justice of the Balearic Islands of 2017. In turn, ENDESA reclassified these properties from Property, plant and equipment to Investment Property as a result of the change in the use thereof to obtain income, capital gains, or both.

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, none of the investment property was fully depreciated and there were no restrictions on its sale.
Direct expenses recognised in the 2019 and 2018 Consolidated Income Statements for investment property were not material.

During 2019, as a result of the acquisition of companies for the development of the renewable energy business, the heading "Other" registered an increase of Euros 40 million, due to the allocation made of the purchase price to the corresponding intangible asset, basically the licences acquired for the development of wind and photovoltaic projects (see Note 5.1).
In 2018, as a result of the acquisition of Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., the "Other" heading saw increases of Euros 34 million and Euros14 million respectively, due to the assignment of the purchase price to the intangible assets corresponding, basically, to the authorisations for the use of wind farms in the case of Parques Eólicos Gestinver, S.L.U. and the value of relations with customers and the brand in the case of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A.

All goodwill relates to the geographical area of Spain.
On 25 July 2018 the acquisition was completed, through ENDESA Red, S.A.U., of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. This transaction generated Euros 21 million in goodwill (see Note 5.4).
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA assessed the recoverability of this goodwill, for which it performed an impairment test on the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) to which these assets were assigned. The basic methodology, assumptions and sensitivity analysis considered to perform these impairment tests are indicated in Notes 3e.3, 3e.4 and 3e.5.
As a result of the loss of value referred to in Note 3e.4, in 2019 an impairment of the goodwill of the systems and telecommunications activity (ICT) assigned to the Iberian Peninsula Generation CGU was recognised in the amount of Euros 14 million and for the CGU of the Non-Mainland Territory (TNP) of the Canary Islands an impairment of Euros 3 million was recognised (Euros 1 million for the impairment of the goodwill of the systems and telecommunications activity (ICT) assigned to the CGU of the Non-Mainland Territory (TNP) of the Balearic Islands in 2018) (see Notes 6.4, 28 and 33.2).

On 22 May 2018, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) acquired 60% of the share capital of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U., a company whose activity consists of the generation of electricity through renewable wind technology, and in which it previously held a 40% stake.
As a result of this transaction, ENDESA went from having significant influence to full control of Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. (see Notes 2.3.1, 2.4 and 5.3)
The net gain at the date on which control was taken, obtained from measuring the previously held noncontrolling interest of 40% in Eólica del Principado, S.A.U. at fair value, was less than Euros 1 million (see Note 5.3).

In 2019 and 2018, the CO2 emission rights for 2018 and 2017 were redeemed, which resulted in reductions of Euros 365 million and Euros 215 million respectively (31.1 million and 34.8 million metric tons respectively).
At 31 December 2019, the provision for rights to be delivered to cover these CO2 emissions under Current Provisions heading in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position amounted to Euros 364 million (Euros 359 million at 31 December 2018) (see Note 23).
At 31 December 2019, electricity and energy stock purchase commitments amounted to Euros 19,578 million (Euros 17,246 million at 31 December 2018), of which a portion corresponds to agreements that have "take or pay" clauses.

(2) Commitments with Group companies (Note 34.1.2)
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, commitments to acquire inventories includes the commitment to acquire liquefied natural gas under contracts arranged in 2014 with Corpus Christi Liquefaction, LLC, part of which are guaranteed by ENEL, S.p.A. (see Note 34.1.2).
The Company's Directors consider that ENDESA will be able to fulfil these obligations and, therefore, they do not expect any contingency to arise in this respect.
In 2019 an impairment was recognised in respect of stocks of coal and other materials relating to the mainland thermal coal-fired plants amounting to Euros 82 million and Euros 21 million respectively, in connection with the decommissioning of these facilities (see Note 3e.4 ).
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA had not pledged material amounts of inventories to secure the repayment of debts.
ENDESA has taken out insurance policies to cover the risk of damage to its inventories. It considers that coverage provided by these policies is sufficient.

Balances included under this caption do not generally earn interest.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, no one customer had balances payable to ENDESA that were significant with respect to ENDESA's total revenues or receivables (see Note 19.6).
Since usual meter reading periods do not match the financial reporting date, ENDESA makes an estimate of unbilled sales made by its supply companies ENDESA Energía, S.A.U., Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U. and Energía Ceuta XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U.
At 31 December 2019, the cumulative balances of unbilled electricity and gas sales are recognised under Trade and other receivables of the accompanying statement of financial position and total Euros 876 million and Euros 411 million respectively (Euros 896 million and Euros 429 million, respectively, at 31 December 2018).
During 2019 and 2018, movement of current assets of contracts with customers was as follows:

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the current assets of contracts with customers mainly correspond to contracts for the execution of works arranged between ENDESA Ingeniería, S.L.U. and Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U. (REE) that will be in force until 2025. In 2019, these assets generated revenues amounting to Euros 41 million recognised under Sales in the Consolidated Income Statement (Euros 83 million in 2018).
At 31 December 2019 ENDESA had future service commitments in place for an amount of Euros 20 million relating to contracts for the execution of works arranged with Red Eléctrica de España, S.A.U. (REE) (Euros 40 million at 31 December 2018).
The average collection period for trade receivables was 29 days in 2019 and 30 days in 2018, so the fair value does not differ significantly from the carrying amount.
The movement in Value adjustments in 2019 and 2018 was as follows:

At 31 December 2019, ENDESA, S.A. had share capital of Euros 1,270,502,540.40, represented by 1,058,752,117 shares each with a par value of Euros 1.20, fully subscribed and paid up and all admitted to listing on the Spanish Stock Exchanges. This figure was unchanged in 2019 and 2018.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the ENEL Group held 70,101% of the share capital in ENDESA, S.A., through ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. At these dates, no other shareholder held more than 10% of the share capital of ENDESA, S.A.
The share premium arises from the Company's corporate restructuring. Article 303 of the Consolidated Text of the Corporate Enterprises Act expressly permits the use of the share premium to increase capital and does not establish any specific restrictions as to its use.
Nonetheless, at 31 December 2019, Euros 43 million of the share premium are restricted to the extent that they are subject to tax assets capitalised in prior years (Euros 46 million at 31 December 2018).
In accordance with Article 274 of the Consolidated text of the Corporate Enterprises Act, an amount equal to 10% of the profit for the year must be transferred to the legal reserve until such time as this reserve represents at least 20% of the capital.
The legal reserve can be used to increase share capital provided that the balance left on the reserve is at least equal to 10% of the nominal value of the total share capital after the increase. Except for the aforementioned purpose, the legal reserve may not be used to offset losses unless it exceeds 20% of the capital and no other sufficient reserves are available for such purpose.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA, S.A. held the minimum amount stipulated in law for this reserve.
The revaluation reserve is a result of the revaluation of assets made pursuant to Royal Decree-Law 7/1996, of 7 June 1996.
On 1 January 2000, the revalued assets were contributed to the corresponding companies following the corporate restructuring carried out by ENDESA.
The balance of this reserve can be used, tax-free, to offset the accounting loss for the year or accounting losses accumulated from prior years or that could arise in the future, and to increase share capital or unrestricted reserves, and in the latter case, monetary gain has been realised. The gain will be deemed to have been realised when the related revalued assets have been depreciated, transferred or derecognised.
This balance would be taxed if used for any purpose other than that foreseen in Royal Decree Law 7/1996 of 7 June 1996.
At 31 December 2019, Euros 269 million were restricted to the extent that they were subject to tax benefits applied in prior years (Euros 296 million at 31 December 2018).
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, this heading mainly consisted of the reserve for redeemed capital in the amount of Euros 102 million, in compliance with Article 335 of Spain's Corporate Enterprises Act, which requires companies to post to this reserve an amount equal to the par value of the redeemed shares or of the reduction in their par value, when the reduction is charged to unrestricted profits or reserves by redeeming shares acquired free of charge by the Company. The use of this reserve is subject to the same requirements as set forth for reducing share capital.

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, this reserve derives from actuarial gains and losses recognised in equity (see Note 16.1).

| TOTAL | 7,067 | 8,407 |
The merger reserve stems from the restructuring of the Company, and its balance at 31 December 2019 amounts to Euros 667 million, Euros 93 million of which are undistributable because they are subject to certain tax benefits (Euros 667 million and Euros 99 million respectively at 31 December 2018).
At its meeting held on 26 November 2019, ENDESA S.A.'s Board of Directors agreed to pay its shareholders a gross interim dividend against 2019 profit of Euros 0.70 per share, which gave rise to a pay-out of Euros 741 million on 2 January 2020 (see Note 22). This interim dividend was deducted from the parent's equity at 31 December 2019.
Pursuant to Article 277 of Royal Decree Law 1/2010 of 2 July approving the Consolidated Text of Spain's Corporate Enterprises Act, the provisional liquidity statement of ENDESA, S.A., which shows the existence of sufficient liquidity for the distribution of said dividend is as follows:
| From 01 November 2019 to 31 October 2020 |

This amount does not exceed the earnings obtained by ENDESA, S.A. in 2019, less prior years' losses and the amount to be allocated to legal reserves and reserves specified in the bylaws, as well as the estimate of tax to be paid on these earnings.
Approval was given at ENDESA, S.A.'s General Shareholders' Meeting of 12 April 2019 to pay shareholders a total dividend charged against 2018 profit for a gross amount of Euros 1.427 per share (Euros 1,511 million in total). The breakdown of these dividends is as follows:

ENDESA's capital management focuses on maintaining a solid financial structure that optimises the cost of capital and the availability of financial resources to guarantee business continuity over the long term. ENDESA considers its consolidated leverage ratio to be an indicator of its ongoing financial position.
The Parent Company's directors consider that an indicator of its ongoing financial position is its consolidated leverage ratio. Details of this ratio at 31 December 2019 and 2018 are as follows:

ENDESA uses principles of prudence that are similar to those applied until now in its financing structure by obtaining long-term financing that enables it to adjust its maturity schedule to its capacity to generate cash flow envisaged in the business plan. The Company also has short-term financing that helps optimise the management of its working capital requirements and improve the cost of its debt.
The stabilisation of electricity regulations, as well as a profitability-focused industrial plan, have allowed the Company to propose a dividend policy designed so that its shareholders earn the maximum possible return on their investment without compromising sustainability and the potential for long-term growth.
The Company's directors consider that its leverage will enable it to optimise the cost of capital while maintaining a high solvency ratio. Therefore, in due consideration of expectations of earnings and the investment plan, the future dividend policy will maintain a leverage ratio that will allow the aforementioned capital management target to be achieved.
The following dividends were approved and distributed in 2019 and 2018 without negatively affecting the ratio of net financial debt to Equity (see Note 14.1.9):

The obligations included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position in respect of provisions for pensions and similar provisions arise as a result of collective or individual agreements in which a commitment is made by the company to provide a system to supplement that granted by the public system to cover the contingencies of retirement, permanent disability and death.
Pension commitments, both defined benefit and defined contribution, are instrumented basically through pension plans or insurance contracts, except for certain benefits in kind, for which, due to their nature, no externalisation has been carried out and which are covered by the related internal provision.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the balance included in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position as a result of the difference between the actuarial liability relating to defined benefit obligations and the market value of plan assets is as follows:

Shares and fixed income instruments have quoted prices in active markets. The expected return on plan assets was estimated taking into account forecasts for the main fixed income and equity markets and assuming that the various asset classes would have similar weights to those of the preceding year. The average return rate in 2019 was 9.33%, positive (3.24% negative in 2018).
Currently, the investment strategy and risk management are the same for all plan participants, with no correlation strategy between assets and liabilities.
The assumptions used when calculating the actuarial liability in respect of uninsured defined benefit obligations at 31 December 2019 and 2018 were as follows:
| 31 December 2019 |
31 December 2018 |
|
|---|---|---|
| Interest Rate | 1.07% - 1.14% | 1.72% - 1.75% |

| Expected return on plan assets | 1.09% | 1.75% |
| Salary increase (1) | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Increase in the cost of health care | 3.20% | 3.20% |
(1) Benchmark percentage for estimating salary increases.
The interest rate applied to discount the commitments is obtained from a curve constructed using the yields on corporate bond issues by companies with an "AA" credit rating and based on the estimated term over which the obligations deriving from each commitment will be settled.
ENDESA's pension plans are administered in accordance with the general restrictions on management and risk assumption in the respective laws and regulations in force and applicable in Spain.
At present, the pension fund which manages the pension schemes promoted by ENDESA companies assumes the risks that are inherent in the assets in which it is invested, which are mainly:

At the date of authorisation for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the main litigation and arbitration proceedings involving ENDESA companies were as follows:
no. 1 in Gandesa (Tarragona). In addition, the Director General of Energy Policy and Mines imposed two fines of a combined value of Euros 90 thousand for minor infringements relating to the same incidents. These fines were contested in administrative proceedings, and later in judicial review and with respect to which a) on the Euros 15 thousand appealed against before the Central Judicial Review Court, a Judgement was handed down on 3 July 2012, dismissing the appeal and the penalty was paid, and b) the penalty of Euros 75 thousand was appealed against before the Madrid High Court of Justice, through the judicial review number 189/2010, and the procedure was suspended by the Order of 16 July 2012, due to the existing criminal proceedings. As for the criminal proceedings, by Order of 25 May 2018, of the Court of Gandesa, the Preliminary Investigation in Summary Proceedings are transformed for transfer to the Prosecutor and accusations of the scope of the accusation and they request oral judgement (or dismissal) in 5 days, or exceptionally additional proceedings. It alludes to the complexity of the huge volume of evidence adduced and the contradictory opinions, which could only be resolved in oral proceedings. On 7 June 2018, Asociación Nuclear Ascó-Vandellós II, A.I.E. lodged an appeal with the Provincial Court of Tarragona. By Diligence of the Provincial Court of Tarragona of 18 October 2019, the hearing was set for deliberation and decision on 25 November 2019. There had been no pronouncement at the date of formulation of these Consolidated Annual Accounts.
The Peña del Gato wind farm was forced to suspend operation again in May 2019 as a result of the paralysis of the evacuation infrastructure.
With regard to the Valdesamario wind farm, currently closed, Energías Especiales del Alto Ulla, S.A.U. also requested the re-processing of the administrative authorisation and will ask for the cancelled permits to be re-assessed. With regard to the feed-in infrastructures and Ponjos electric transformer substation, facilities that are also currently closed, Promociones Energéticas del Bierzo, S.L.U. has filed a request with the regional government of Castilla y León to process the award of a new administrative authorisation and declaration of public interest. Additionally, on 16 May 2019, a request was filed with the León Contentious-Administrative Court with regard to the execution of the rulings on the high voltage line and amendments, asking that the infrastructure be allowed to continue to operate while the administrative procedure is being processed by the regional government.
After the processing of the infringement proceedings, the submission of the resolution proposal and the filing of the corresponding allegations by ENDESA Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U., on 20 June 2019 the ruling of the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) was issued, which involved a fine of Euros 5.5 million for an alleged act of unfair competition contrary to article 3 of the Competition Act, Law 15/2007 of 3 July 2007, and article 4 of Law 3/1991 of 10 January 1991 on unfair competition.
According to the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC), ENDESA Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U. made use of a privileged channel (invoices issued to customers under the Small Consumer Voluntary Price (PVPC) or the Last Resort Tariff (TUR) systems), which was not accessible to competitors, to advertise deregulated market services to a supposedly vulnerable group i.e. regulated market consumers.
On 31 July 2019, Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U. filed a contentious-administrative appeal with the National Court, with a request for precautionary suspension of the execution of the sanctioning Resolution, among other issues, because it considers that (i) the National Commission on Markets and Competition (CNMC) bases its conclusions on mere unproven assumptions, (ii) the conduct of Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U. does not meet the necessary requirements to be considered an act contrary to good faith and (iii) it has also not been proven that the imputed conduct had an impact on competition and the public interest that could be sanctioned under Article 3 of Law 15/2007, of 3 July on the Defence of Competition (LDC).
The matter is currently being processed before the National Court.
On 2 March 2018, the decision of the European Commission of 27 November 2017 in case SA.47.912 (2017/NN), 'environmental incentive for coal-fired power plants', was published in the Official Journal of the European Union. By that decision, the Directorate-General for Competition of the European Commission initiated a formal investigation procedure under Article 108.2 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union in order to determine whether the environmental investment incentive for coal-fired power plants provided for in Order ITC/3860/2007 of 28 December 2007 constitutes State aid compatible with the internal market. According to the wording of the Decision, the European Commission has reached the preliminary conclusion that this incentive constitutes State aid within the meaning of Article 107.1 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union and has doubts as to its compatibility with the internal market.
On 13 April 2018, ENDESA Generación S.A.U., in its capacity as an interested third party in the procedure, sent a letter of allegations in order to defend that the incentive for environmental investment does not constitute state aid and, alternatively, in the event that the European Commission were to reach the opposite conclusion, that it is compatible with the internal market. Subsequently, in July 2018, Gas Natural SDG, S.A. filed an appeal (T-328/18) before the General Court against the decision of the European Commission to open a formal investigation procedure, the case being currently pending.
Following a large number of meetings of the "Committee responsible for negotiating ENDESA's V Framework Collective Agreement", starting in October 2017 and continuing throughout 2018, and given that no agreement was reached, the Company's management informed its workers and their representatives that, with effect from 1 January 2019, "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" would be considered to have ended, in addition to the "Guarantee Framework Agreement" and the "Agreement on voluntary suspension or termination of employment contracts for 2013-2018", from which date the general collective agreement would apply, in addition to all case law established in this regard.
The different interpretations by ENDESA and by the trade unions representatives of the effects of terminating "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA", specifically with regard to the social benefits for former employees, led the trade unions representative in ENDESA's companies to file a collective dispute claim with the Spanish High Court at the beginning of 2019. On 26 March 2019, the Spanish High Court ruled in favour of ENDESA, validating the Company's interpretation that recognizes the legality of the completion of the application of certain social benefits for former employees following the termination of "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA".
Although this ruling is fully enforceable, the unions with representation in ENDESA's companies presented in April 2019 an appeal to the Supreme Court against it, to which the company responded by means of a written challenge filed on 19 June 2019. In December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, General Workers Union (UGT), agreed to withdraw the aforementioned Appeal as a result of voluntarily submitting to an arbitration in equity for the resolution of certain aspects relating to the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". The appeal to the Supreme Court is therefore continuing at the request of the three applicant minority unions (Comisiones Obreras (CCOO), Sindicato Independiente de la Energía (SIE) and Confederación Intersindical Galega (CIG)) and at the time of issue of these Consolidated Annual Accounts its resolution is pending, with the expectation that it will take place in the second half of 2020.
In addition to the aforementioned Collective Conflict lawsuit, almost a thousand individual claims have been submitted at the time of issue of these Consolidated Annual Accounts by passive personnel or personnel under the voluntary departures plan (AVS) who claim that the termination of the "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" did not affect them in the terms notified by the Company. At the time of issue of these Consolidated Annual Accounts, most of these claims are pending or suspended, since the Collective Conflict lawsuit is pending before the Supreme Court determines the stoppage of the individual proceedings affected by the same matter, in accordance with labour law procedural regulations. Consequently, the result of these individual claims, and of any new ones that could be initiated after the issue of these Consolidated Annual Accounts, will depend to a large extent on the outcome of the appeal filed.
The Directors of the Parent Company consider that the provisions recognised in the Consolidated Financial Statements adequately cover the risks relating to litigation, arbitration and other matters referred to in this Note, and do not expect these issues to give rise to any liability not already provided for.
Given the nature of the risks covered by these provisions, it is impracticable to determine a reasonable timetable of payment dates, if any.
Payments made to settle litigation in 2019 and 2018 came to Euros 60 million and Euros 14 million, respectively.

At 31 December 2019, ENDESA's liquidity amounted to Euros 3,300 million (Euros 3,040 million at 31 December 2018) as detailed below:

| TOTAL | 3,300 | 3,040 |
(1) At 31 December 2019 and 2018, Euros 1,000 million corresponded to the available committed and irrevocable credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International, N.V. (See Note 34.1.2).
These undrawn credit lines secure the refinancing of current debt presented in Non-Current Financial Debt in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (see Note 3m), which amounted to Euros 29 million at 31 December 2019 (Euros 11 million at 31 December 2018).
The amount of these credit lines, together with the current assets, provides sufficient coverage of ENDESA's short-term payment obligations (see Note 19.4).
The main transactions in 2019 were as follows:

At 31 December 2019, this financial liability amounted to Euros 274 million (Euros 186 million at 1 January 2019) (see Notes 2.1a and 17.1)
Certain ENDESA companies' loans and borrowings contain the usual covenants in this type of agreement.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA, S.A. and all but one of its subsidiaries are in compliance with their financial obligations or with any type of obligation that could give rise to early maturity of their financial commitments.
ENDESA's directors do not consider that these clauses affect the current/non-current classification in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position at 31 December 2019.
The financing agreements of ENDESA, S.A. and International ENDESA B.V., which cover almost all of ENDESA's financing activity in Spain, contain no obligations whereby failure to maintain certain financial ratios would lead to breach of contract and early termination.
Bond issues by International ENDESA, B.V. under its Global Medium Term Notes and bank financing arranged by ENDESA, S.A. contain the following clauses:
In the case of outstanding bond issues made by International ENDESA B.V. under its Global Medium Term Notes programmes (Euros 12 million outstanding at 31 December 2019 and Euros 27 million at 31 December 2018) these contain:
Cross-default clauses, whereby debt must be prepaid in the event of default (over and above a certain amount) on the settlement of certain obligations of ENDESA, S.A. as guarantor, or of the issuers.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA, S.A. had entered into financial transactions with the European Investment Bank (EIB) and with the "Instituto de Crédito Oficial" ("ICO") amounting to Euros 1,702 million and Euros 1,100 million, respectively that could require additional guarantees or renegotiation if its credit rating were downgraded to below certain levels.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA, S.A. had loans and other borrowings from banks and ENEL Finance International, N.V. For an amount equivalent to Euros 5,814 million, with an outstanding debt of Euros 4,814 million, which might have to be repaid early in the event of a change of control over ENDESA, S.A. (Euros 4,560 million at 31 December 2018, with an outstanding debt of Euros 4,225 million).
Part of the debt of ENDESA S.A. includes restrictions if a certain percentage of ENDESA's consolidated assets is surpassed, which varies for the related transactions from 7% to 10%.
Above these ceilings, the restrictions would only apply, in general, if no equivalent consideration is received or if there was a material negative impact on ENDESA, S.A.'s solvency.
The amount of debt affected by these clauses at 31 December 2019 was Euros 1,814 million (Euros 1,225 million at 31 December 2018).
At 31 December 2019, certain ENDESA subsidiaries operating in the renewable energy business and financed through project finance had financial debt of Euros 91 million (Euros 103 million at 31 December 2018) (see Notes 6.4, 14.1.12 and 35.1), which included the following clauses:
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, certain ENDESA subsidiaries that operate in the renewable generation business were obliged to comply with specific annual debt servicing coverage ratios (ADSCR). In reference thereto, with the exception of one of those companies in which the Directors are taking the steps necessary to refinance the short-term debt of Euros 1 million, the debt pending payment at 31 December 2019 fulfils these ratios.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the estimated interest on gross financial debt, considering the interest rates in force on those dates and until maturity, was as follows:

Factoring transactions were carried out in 2018. The undue balances at 31 December 2018 amounted to Euros 73 million, which were derecognised from the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The cost of these transactions was less than Euros 1 million, recognised under "Gains/(Losses) on Disposal of Assets" in the Consolidated Income Statement (see Note 30).
On 13 December, 2014, Royal Decree 1054/2014 of 12 December was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), regulating the procedure for the assignment of collection rights of the electricity system deficit for 2013 and implementing the methodology for calculating the rate at which the collection rights of this deficit and, if applicable, previous negative timing mismatches, will accrue interest (see Note 4).
At 31 December 2019, the amount of the collection right associated with the shortfall for temporary adjustments was Euros 389 million, recognised under "Current Financial Assets" in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (Euros 236 million at 31 December 2018).
In 2019 and 2018, the financing of the revenue shortfall from regulated activities in Spain did not accrue interest, since the entirety of the amount pending collection during both years corresponded to transitory variations.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, in application of the regulation described in Note 4, the amounts recognised amounted to Euros 561 million and Euros 609 million "Current Financial Assets", respectively.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, Guarantees and Deposits mainly include guarantees and deposits received from customers in Spain at the date of signing contracts in guarantee of electricity supply, and which are also recognised as Other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, as they have been deposited with the pertinent public administrations in accordance with standards in force in Spain (see Note 20).

The activity of ENDESA, S.A. and its Subsidiary Companies (ENDESA) is performed in an environment with various external factors that could affect its transactions and financial performance, thus requiring that exposure to such factors be managed and controlled.
The General Risk Management and Control Policy establishes the basic principles and the general framework for the control and management of risks of all kinds that might affect the attainment of the objectives, ensuring that they are identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled systematically and within the levels of risk established.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy seeks to guide and steer the set of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. to precisely delineate the acceptable level of risk, so that the managers, staff and service functions of the various Business Lines can maximise the Company's profitability, preservation or increase of its Equity and treasury and certainty of level of success, preventing uncertain and future events from having a negative influence on its ability to achievement the company's profitability objectives, its operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained manner over time, providing an adequate level of guarantees to shareholders and safeguarding their interests, as well as those of customers and other stakeholders.
The general principles of ENDESA's Risk Management and Control Policy, aimed at controlling and mitigating the possible risks identified, are as follows:
The general guidelines of the Risk Management and Control Policy are implemented and supplemented by other specific corporate risk policies for each Business Line, as well as by limits established for optimal risk management.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System conforms to a model based on the one hand on an ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or benchmark sectors as regards risk management, homogeneous measurement criteria within the same type of risk, segregation of risk managers and controllers, and, on the other hand, on ensuring a link between the risk assumed and the resources needed to operate the businesses, always maintaining an appropriate balance between the risk assumed and the objectives set by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A.
The risk control and management process consists in the identification, evaluation, monitoring and management over time of the various risks, and takes account of the main risks to which the Company is exposed, whether of internal or external origin. The objective of risk management is the performance of the actions aimed at keeping risk levels at optimum levels and in any case within the established limits.
The risk management and control mechanisms are set out in the following notes.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to variable interest rates.
The objective of interest rate risk management is to achieve a balanced debt structure that makes it possible to minimise the cost of the debt over several years with reduced Income Statement volatility, through diversification of types of financial assets and liabilities and modifications to the risk exposure profile by arranging derivatives.
The goal of reducing the amount of borrowings subject to interest rate fluctuations is achieved through the use of specific hedging contracts, generally interest rate derivatives. In any case, the structure of the contracts adapts to that of the underlying financial instrument, and never exceeds the maturity of the underlying financial instrument, so that any changes in the fair value or cash flows of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying position.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the structure of financial risk, factoring in the derivatives arranged, is as follows:

Currency risks mainly relate to transactions for the purchase of energy raw materials (especially natural gas and coal) on international markets where the prices of these materials ("commodities") are normally in US dollars. Similarly, ENDESA incurs this risk in the management of debt in foreign currencies, procurements, the payment of insurance premiums, plant maintenance contracts, and dividends.
ENDESA has contracted currency swaps and forward exchange contracts to mitigate its currency risk. ENDESA also strives to balance cash collections and payments for its assets and liabilities in foreign currencies.
The structure of these contracts is adapted to that of the underlying financial instruments, and in particular the term of the contracts never exceeds the maturity of the underlying financial instrument, so that any changes in the fair value or cash flows of these contracts are offset by changes in the fair value or cash flows of the underlying position.

The Company is exposed to the risk of fluctuations in energy commodity prices, including carbon dioxide (CO2) emission rights, mainly through the following:
Exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices is controlled by monitoring risk to ensure that it remains within the risk appetite as a measure to balance expected returns against assumed risk. These limits are based on expected results with a confidence interval of 95%. Industrial portfolio positions are reviewed monthly on the basis of Profit at Risk, and the trading portfolio is reviewed daily on the basis of Value at Risk.
Individual analyses are also performed on the impact of certain relevant transactions on ENDESA's risk profile and delivery of its predefined limits.
Exposure to this risk in the long term is managed by diversifying contracts, managing the procurements portfolio by reference to indices with a similar or comparable trend to that of the end electricity (generation) or sale (retailing) prices and through regularly renegotiated contractual clauses aimed at maintaining the economic balance of procurements.
In the short and medium term, fluctuations in commodity prices are managed through specific hedges, generally derivatives.

Liquidity risk may cause difficulties in meeting the obligations associated with financial liabilities, which are settled by provision of cash or other financial assets. Liquidity risk management aims to guarantee a level of liquidity minimising opportunity cost, and to maintain a structure of financial debt on the basis of due dates and sources of finance. In the short term, liquidity risk is mitigated by maintaining a sufficient level of resources available unconditionally, including cash and short-term deposits, available lines of credit and a portfolio of highly liquid assets.
ENDESA's liquidity policy consists of arranging committed long-term credit lines with both banking entities and ENEL Group companies and financial investments in an amount sufficient to cover projected needs over a given period, based on the status and expectations of the debt and capital markets.
These needs include maturity of net financial debt. Further details of the characteristics and conditions of borrowings and financial derivatives are provided in Notes 17 and 18, respectively.
The cash function is centralised at ENDESA Financiación Filiales, S.A.U., which draws up cash forecasts to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs, maintaining sufficient levels of availability on its undrawn loans.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA's liquidity was as follows:

(1) At 31 December 2019 and 2018, Euros 1,000 million correspond to the available committed and irrevocable credit line arranged with ENEL Finance International, N.V. (see Note 34.1.2).
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA had negative working capital of Euros 2,365 million as a result of its cash management policy. The undrawn amount on the Company's long-term credit lines provides assurance that ENDESA can obtain sufficient financial resources to continue to operate, realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (see Note 17.2.1).
Credit risk is generated when a counterparty does not meet its obligations set out in a financial or commercial contract, giving rise to financial losses. ENDESA is exposed to credit risk from its operational and financial activities, including derivatives, deposits with banks, transactions in foreign currency and other financial instruments.
Unexpected changes to the credit rating of a counterparty have an impact on the creditor's position in terms of solvency (non-compliance risk) or changes to market value (spread risk).
ENDESA closely monitors its credit risk, taking additional precautions which include the following, among others:
Historically, credit risk on trade receivables is limited, given the short period of collection from customers, as supply may be cut off in accordance with the applicable regulations before any significant arrears are accumulated (see Note 12).
At 31 December 2019, overdue debt to third parties totalled Euros 624 million, which represents 14.8 equivalent invoicing days (2018: Euros 751 million and 15.4 equivalent invoicing days, respectively).
ENDESA's policies for managing credit risk on financial assets are as follows:
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, there were guarantees, letters of guarantee, and pledges received for commercial transactions, as follows:

(1) Mainly includes receivables from Public Administrations, as well as from counterparties without a credit rating.
ENDESA is exposed to customer and supplier concentration risk in its activity.
Customer concentration risk is managed and minimised by a business strategy with several diversification criteria:
This strategy ensures that sales to a specific customer do not account for a major portion of ENDESA's economic results.
This risk is controlled by regular monitoring of trade receivable accounts (debts past-due and outstanding) for individuals and groups of companies under joint control.
In its relationships with its main shareholder, ENDESA is exposed to credit risk. In 2019, this risk was not significant, and related mainly to the potential change in commodities hedging contracts which ENDESA has arranged through ENEL Group companies.
At 31 December 2019, receivables from the ten largest customers (business group) accounted for less than 13% of the total, and none of them individually accounted for more than 2.7% at that date (12% and 2.9%, respectively, at 31 December 2018).
ENDESA's current relationships with main industry service suppliers and providers are essential for the development and growth of its business, and may affect its capacity to negotiate contracts with these parties under favourable conditions. Nonetheless, ENDESA's technical and economic rating processes allow it to ensure the quality of services acquired as well as the supplier's financial status, and offer a diversified supplier portfolio in all its purchasing categories, thereby making it possible to replace one in the case of interrupted service, mitigating its supplier concentration risk.
At 31 December 2019, its top 10 suppliers did not represent more than 39.4% of the total (31 December 2018: 25.6%).

Recovery of the deferred tax assets depends on the generation of sufficient taxable profits in the future. The Parent Company's directors consider that the projected taxable profits of the various ENDESA companies amply cover the amounts required to recover these assets.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, there are recognised deferred taxes related to tax losses awaiting recognition amounting to Euros 11 million and Euros 12 million, respectively.
At 31 December 2019, there were deferred tax assets corresponding to tax loss carryforwards susceptible of being offset against future profits in the amount of Euros 25 million (Euros 39 million at 31 December 2018).

Article 41 of the Articles of Association states that "the remuneration of Directors will comprise the following items: a fixed monthly salary and per diems for attendance at each meeting of the company's management bodies and their committees.
Maximum global and annual compensation, for the Board as a whole and including all aforementioned items, shall be established by the General Shareholders' Meeting and will remain in effect until it resolves upon an amendment thereof.
The Board itself shall be in charge of determining the exact amount to be paid in each fiscal year, subject to the limits set forth by the General Shareholders' Meeting, as well as distributing such amount between the aforementioned items and between the directors in the manner, time and proportion as freely determined, taking into account the functions and responsibilities entrusted to each Director, whether they belong to any of the Board's Committees and all other relevant objective circumstances.
Without prejudice to the foregoing, article 30 of the Board of Directors' Regulations states that directors, regardless of their type of directorship, can waive the right to receive remuneration based on a fixed monthly allocation and/or per diems to attend meetings of the Board of Directors, Executive Committee and/or Committees.
The amount of said per diem shall be, at the most, the amount which, in accordance with the above paragraphs, is determined to be the fixed monthly allocation. The Board of Directors may, within such limit, determine the amount of the allowances.
The remuneration contemplated in the preceding sections, deriving from membership on the Board of Directors, shall be compatible with other remuneration, indemnity payments, contributions to insurance schemes or any other professional or labour earnings pertaining to the Directors for any other executive or advisory duties which, as the case may be, they perform for the company other than those of collegiate supervision and decision-making characteristic of their status as Directors, which shall be subject to the appropriate applicable legal scheme.
Without prejudice to the above-mentioned remunerations, the Executive Directors remuneration may also consist of the transfer of Company shares, options over them or remuneration based on the value of the shares. The application of this remuneration model requires the agreement of the General Shareholders' Meeting, expressing, where appropriate, the maximum number of shares to be assigned during each financial year as part of this remuneration system, the strike price and the system used to calculate the strike price of share options, the value of the shares taken as a reference, when appropriate, the term of the remuneration plan and any other conditions deemed appropriate.
Thus members of the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. received remuneration in their capacity as Directors of the Company:

At 31 December 2019 and 2018, in terms of remuneration, the Company had not issued any guarantees to senior managers who were not also executive directors.
These clauses are the same in all the contracts of the Executive Directors and senior managers of the Company and of its Group and were approved by the Board of Directors following the report of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee (ARC) and provide for termination benefits in the event of termination of the employment relationship and a post-contractual non-competition clause.
With regard to management personnel, although this type of termination clause is not the norm, the contents of cases in which it arises are similar to the scenarios of general employment relationships.
The regime for these clauses is as follows.
These conditions are alternatives to those arising from changes to the pre-existing employment relationship or its termination due to early retirement for senior executives.
Post-contractual non-competition clause: In the vast majority of contracts, senior management personnel are required not to engage in a business activity in competition with ENDESA for a period of 2 years; as consideration, the executive is entitled to an amount of up to 1x the annual fixed remuneration.
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, ENDESA the number of executive directors and senior managers with guarantee clauses was 11 and 13, respectively.
To increase the transparency of listed companies, the members of the Board of Directors have disclosed, to the best of their knowledge, the direct or indirect stakes they and their related parties hold in companies with the same, analogous or similar corporate purpose as that of ENDESA, S.A., and the positions or duties they perform therein.

In accordance with Article 229 of the Corporate Enterprises Act, the direct or indirect situations of conflict of interest involving members of the Board of Directors with the interest of the Company, along with how they were handled in 2019, were as follows:
Distribution by gender: At 31 December 2019, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. was composed of 11 directors, 2 of which are women. At 31 December 2018, there were 11 Directors, 2 of which were women.
In 2019 and 2018 there were no damages caused by acts or omissions of the Directors that would have required use to be made of the third-party liability insurance premium held through the Company. This insures both the Company's directors and employees with management responsibilities.
In 2019, this premium totalled Euros 352 thousand (Euros 327 thousand in 2018).
34.3.5. Share-based payment plans tied to the ENDESA, S.A. share price.
ENDESA's variable long-term remuneration is takes the form of the so-called Strategic Incentive, the main purpose of which is to strengthen the commitment of the employees who occupy positions of greatest responsibility in achieving the Group's strategic objectives. The Plan is structured through successive threeyear programmes, which start every year from 1 January 2010. Since 2014, the plans have foreseen a deferral of the payment and the need for the Executive to be active on the date of liquidation thereof; and payments are made on 2 dates: 30% of the incentive will be paid, and the remaining 70%, if applicable, 2 years after the end of the Plan.
Within the framework of the ENDESA Loyalty Plan, the Company's General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 26 April 2017, approved the long-term remuneration schemes for 2017-2019. The Company also submitted the long-term 2018-2020 remuneration scheme for approval to the General Shareholders' Meeting, held on 23 April 2018, and the long-term 2019-2021 remuneration scheme to the General Shareholders' Meeting held on 12 April 2019.
These schemes are linked, among other indicators, to share price performance and are directed at the Chairman, the CEO and ENDESA directors with strategic responsibility.
Specifically, the programmes referred to above have the following objectives:
a) An objective called "Total Shareholders' Return (TSR) of ENDESA", defined as the average value of the TSR of ENDESA relative to the average value of the TSR of the Euro-Stoxx Utilities Index, selected as the Comparable Group, for the accrual period.
This indicator measures the total return of a share as the sum of its parts:
There is an ex-post control of long-term variable remuneration in the form of a malus clause that allows the Company not to pay variable remuneration accrued and not received, in addition to a clawback clause which obliges participants in these plans to repay the variable remuneration received in the event that data used for its calculation or payment are proved to be clearly erroneous after the settlement date.
The Appointments and Remuneration Committee (ARC) may submit a motion to the Board of Directors not to pay or to demand reimbursement of variable components of remuneration if it is shown that payment was based on data, which later proved to be incorrect.
The amount accrued in relation to these Loyalty Plan programmes in 2019 totalled Euros 6 million (Euros 7 million in 2018).
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, guarantees had been provided to third parties for the following items and amounts:
Millions of Euros
| Notes | 2019 | 2018 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Property, plant and equipment as a guarantee for financing received | 6.4, 14.1.12 & 17.2.3 | 91 | 103 |
| Short and long term gas contracts | 168 | 87 | |
| Lease of Methane Vessel (1) | 153 | 170 | |
| TOTAL | 412 | 360 |
(1) Does not include bank guarantees against third parties.
2 Ordinary EBIT (Euros Millions) = EBIT adjusted for unbudgeted extraordinary effects.
1 Return on Average Capital Employed (ROACE) (%) = Ordinary EBIT / Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI).
3 Average Net Capital Invested (Average NCI) (Euros Millions) = ((Equity + Net Financial Debt – Cash and cash equivalents)n + (Equity + Net Financial Debt – Cash and other cash equivalents)n-1) / 2
At 31 December 2019 and 2018, the breakdown of guarantees granted to ENDESA's Associates, Joint Ventures and Joint Operation entities is shown in Note 34.2.
ENDESA considers that any additional liabilities arising from guarantees given at 31 December 2019 would not be material.
There are no further commitments to those described in Notes 6, 8, 11, 12 and 18.1.3 to these Consolidated Financial Statements.
Details of fees for the services provided in 2019 and 2018 by the auditors of the annual financial statements of the various ENDESA companies are as follows:

After more than two years of fruitless negotiations, on 4 December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, General Workers Union (UGT), and ENDESA agreed to submit to a "binding equity arbitration" some of the most significant aspects discussed in the negotiation of the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". As part of the submission to binding arbitration, in December 2019, the majority trade union in ENDESA, the General Workers Union (UGT), agreed to withdraw the Appeal lodged with the Supreme Court against the Judgment of the National Court of 26 March 2019 in favour of ENDESA, endorsing the Company's interpretation that recognizes the legality of the termination of certain social benefits to passive employees as a consequence of the termination of the "IV Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA". The other organisations with union representation in ENDESA, that is, Comisiones Obreras (CCOO) and the Independent Energy Trade Union (SIE), declined to submit to the aforementioned arbitration, continuing with the said Appeal in Cassation to the Supreme Court (see Note 16.3).
ENDESA and the majority union, the General Workers Union (UGT), agreed before the Interconfederal Mediation and Arbitration Service ("SIMA") the procedure and matters subject to "binding equity arbitration", and that the terms of the decision of the arbitrator would be incorporated into the Collective Agreement that was agreed upon. Following the appointment by common accord of Mr Manuel Pimentel Siles as sole arbitrator, the procedure was carried out during the months of December 2019 and January 2020 in the terms agreed by the parties, ending with the issue of a mandatory Arbitration Award on 21 January 2020.
In accordance with the agreement between the parties, the content of the Arbitration Award and other aspects resulting from the agreement at the negotiating table not submitted to arbitration, were incorporated into the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" which was approved and signed by the Company and the Trade Union Section of the General Union of Workers' Union (UGT), and has effect since the UGT is the majority union in the Company, on 23 January 2020. On the same date, the new "Guarantee Framework Agreement" and "Agreement on Voluntary Suspension or Termination of Employment Contracts" were signed, in this case by all unions represented in ENDESA. Under the terms of Article 90 of the Workers'
Statute, at the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, the registration of the Agreement signed by the parties is being processed by the competent labour authority.
Once the "V Framework Collective Agreement of ENDESA" had been signed, a process was initiated within the Monitoring and Interpretation Committee to analyse and interpret the terms and measures of various matters and economic conditions covered by the arbitration decision and transferred in that Agreement, such as economic increases, salary updates, electricity supply, study grants, medical insurance and others. At the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, it is not possible to quantify the financial impact that such actions would have in the year 2020, since significant economic conditions and items such as those mentioned above are pending analysis and interpretation. The parties involved are working together in the transition process necessary to proceed to its definitive economic quantification and formalization.
With regard to the Monitoring Committee of the "Framework Agreement on Guarantees" indicated in the previous paragraphs, on 28 January 2020, the Company informed the trade union representatives that it will not exercise the power to terminate the individual agreement to suspend the employment relationship for certain individual contracts signed with employees. The cost to be borne by the Company during the period for which, in accordance with this commitment, it cannot avoid the contract being suspended amounts to Euros 159 million.
Except for the matters referred to in the foregoing paragraphs, no other significant events have taken place between 31 December 2019 and the date of authorisation for issue of these Consolidated Financial Statements that have not been reflected therein.
These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented on the basis of IFRSs, as adopted by the European Union. Consequently, certain accounting practices applied by the Group that conform to IFRSs may not conform to other generally accepted accounting principles in other countries. Translation from the original issued in Spanish. In the event of discrepancy, the Spanish-language version prevail.

The organisation is divided into the generation, supply and distribution businesses, each of which includes electricity and in some cases gas activities and other products and services.
In view of the areas of business carried on by the subsidiaries of ENDESA, S.A., the transactions have a low significant cyclical or seasonal nature.

The Annual Corporate Governance Report, which describes the organisation of the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. and of the bodies to which it delegates its decisions, forms an integral part of this Consolidated Management Report (see Section 15. Annual Corporate Governance Report required by Article 538 of Royal Decree Law 1/2010 of 2 July 2010, approving the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act, in this Consolidated Management Report).
The general principles relating to ENDESA's corporate governance strategy establish that the Company's internal rules are set so as to guarantee transparency and to ensure the reconciliation of the interests of all shareholder groups, as well as equal treatment of all shareholders of the same kind and in the same situation.
ENDESA strives to be at the forefront of developments in the energy sector in order to bring safe, affordable and sustainable energy to millions of people. ENDESA is acutely aware of the profound changes that the industry is going through and is positioning itself in a new era of energy, which is more open, participatory and digital.
This strategic positioning is summarised in the concept "Open Power", which constitutes ENDESA's mission, vision and values.
ENDESA's mission is defined in the following pillars:
ENDESA's values are the pillars of the company's behaviour and reflect the focus on people:
ENDESA carries on the activities of generation, distribution and sale of electricity and gas, mainly in Spain and Portugal, and, to a lesser extent, from its platform in Spain it supplies electricity and gas to other European markets, in particular Germany, France and the Netherlands.
With the exception of mainland coal-fired thermal power plants generation, ENDESA's electricity generation and supply businesses are managed jointly, thus optimising this integrated position compared with managing the two activities separately (see Section 2.3.2. Operating Costs in this Consolidated Management Report).
The markets in which ENDESA carries out its activities are described as follows:
Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report provides a breakdown of ENDESA's key figures at 31 December 2019.
Electricity generation: Electricity generation in Portugal is carried out in a competitive environment.

ENDESA, S.A.'s activity is structured by Business Lines, giving the Company flexibility and the ability to respond to the needs of its customers in the territories and businesses in which it operates.
For the organisation of the various Business Lines, ENDESA, S.A. works primarily through the following Companies:
Electricity generation: ENDESA Generación, S.A.U.
This company was set up on 22 September 1999 with a view to concentrating ENDESA's generation and mining assets in it.
ENDESA Generación, S.A.U. brings together, among others, the interests in Gas y Electricidad Generación, S.A.U. (100%) and Unión Eléctrica de Canarias Generación, S.A.U. (100%), which manage the generation assets located in the Non-mainland Territories (TNP), and ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) (100%), which manages generation assets that use renewable sources.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA's total net installed capacity in Spain amounted to 23,365 MW, of which 19,026 MW were in the Mainland Electricity System and 4,339 MW in the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic and Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla. At that date, net installed capacity in renewables was 7,408 MW (see Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA's power plants reached a total net production of 61,402 GWh in 2019 (see Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report).
This company was set up on 22 September 1999, marking the culmination of the process of integrating ENDESA S.A.'s regional distribution companies in Spain.
This company holds, among others, Edistribución Redes Digitales, S.L.U. (formerly ENDESA Distribución Eléctrica, S.L.U.) (100%), which engages in regulated electricity distribution, and ENDESA Ingeniería, S.L.U. (100%).
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA distributed electricity in 27 Spanish provinces in ten autonomous regions (Andalusia, Aragon, Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Castile and Leon, Catalonia, Valencia, Extremadura, Galicia and Navarre) and in the autonomous city of Ceuta, with a total extension of 195,500 km2 and a population close to 21 million inhabitants.
The number of clients with an access contract to ENDESA's distribution networks exceeded 12 million on that date and the total energy distributed by ENDESA's networks, measured in plant bars, reached 116,611 GWh in 2019 (see Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA Energía, S.A.U. was established on 3 February 1998 to carry out supply activities, responding to the demands deriving from the deregulation process of the Spanish electricity sector. Its main business is the supply of energy to customers wishing to exercise their right to choose their supplier and receive the service on the deregulated market, and other products and services related to the development of efficient energy infrastructures and maintenance services.
ENDESA Energía, S.A.U. also holds 100% of the equity of Energía XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.L.U. (formerly ENDESA Energía XXI, S.L.U.), ENDESA Operaciones y Servicios Comerciales, S.L.U., which provides commercial services related to energy supply, ENDESA Energía Renovable, S.A.U. and ENDESA Soluciones, S.L.U., dedicated to the supply of all types of energy products, in particular, electricity and natural gas specifically from renewable sources and of added value products and services respectively.
ENDESA Energía, S.A.U. also supplies the deregulated markets of Germany, France, the Netherlands and Portugal.
ENDESA X, S.A.U. was created on 26 June 2018 to develop and market new services adapted to trends in the energy market and focuses its activity on 4 lines of action: e-Home, e-Industries, e-City and e-Mobility, which seek opportunities in electric mobility, demand management, distributed generation, energy storage and the expansion of the services provided to domestic, industrial and institutional customers.
In 2019, net electricity sales amounted to 89,441 GWh and at 31 December 2019, the customer portfolio in the electricity market consisted of 10.6 million supply points. The total volume of gas sold in 2019 amounted to 79,784 GWh and at 31 December 2019 the customer portfolio in the conventional natural gas market consisted of 1.6 million supply points (see Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report).
Appendix I to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 lists ENDESA's subsidiaries and joint operation entities.
Appendix II to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2018 lists ENDESA's associates and joint ventures.
There follows a corporate map of ENDESA showing in diagram form its main investees at 31 December 2019:


Additions, exclusions and changes to the corporate map of ENDESA during the year 2019 are described in Notes 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA reported net ordinary income, not including non-recurring effects, of Euros 1,562 million in 2019, representing an increase of 3.4% on the previous year.
Net income attributable to the Parent Company amounted to Euros 171 million in 2019, representing a decrease of 87.9% compared with the Euros 1,417 million obtained in 2018.
The decrease in ENDESA's net income in 2019 was due to the recognition of a net impairment of Euros 1,409 million corresponding on the one hand to the total carrying amount of mainland coal-fired thermal generation assets (Euros 1,105 million) and on the other hand to the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) (Euros 304 million) (see Section 2.3.2. Operating Expenses in this Consolidated Management Report).

(2) Net Income = Net Income of the Parent Company.

On 1 January 2019, IFRS 16 Leases came into force. It establishes that a lessee must recognise an asset representing the right to use the leased asset and a liability for the obligation to make lease payments over the term of the lease.
This Standard does not introduce significant changes for lessors, who must continue to classify their leases as finance leases or operating leases.
ENDESA has opted to apply this Standard retroactively with the cumulative effect on initial application, which means not re-stating prior year comparatives and recording the cumulative impact of adoption as an adjustment to equity on 1 January 2019, recognising the asset for the same value as the liability.
In relation to the practical solutions that the Standard allows at the date of first application, ENDESA has chosen not to apply this Standard to those leases whose term ends within 12 months of the date of first application or where the underlying asset has an individual value that is lower than USD 5,000, and, in these cases, recognises the payments associated with the leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease in Other fixed operating expenses heading of the Consolidated Income Statement (see Notes 6.1.1 and 6.1.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Based on the foregoing, the impact on ENDESA's consolidated financial statements at the date of first application of IFRS 16 Leases is as follows:

At 31 December 2019, in application of IFRS 16 Leases, a net financial liability was recognised in respect of the payment obligation for the rights-of-use contracts in an amount of Euros 274 million (see Section 4.1. Financial Management in this Consolidated Management Report).
With the entry into force of IFRS 16 Leases from 1 January 2019, payments under operating lease contracts, considered prior to the application of the Standard as cash used in operating activities, are now recognised as cash used in financing activities. The amount recognised under this head in 2019 was Euros 35 million (see Section 4.4. Cash Flows in this Consolidated Management Report).

(1) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Electricity demand trends in 2019 were as follows:
The year 2019 was characterised by lower prices, with the average price in the wholesale electricity market at Euros 47.70/MWh (-16.8%), mainly as a consequence of the evolution of commodity prices, especially natural gas, as well as the greater share of renewable energy, in spite of the increase in the price of CO2 emission rights.
During 2019 the price of CO2 emission rights increased to an average of Euros 24.86 per metric ton and, in the framework of the European Union objectives for reducing emissions of the Electricity Sector, since 1 January 2019 the establishment of the Market Stability Reserve (MSR) mechanism has ensured that the price of these emission rights are kept at appropriate levels for this purpose.
During 2019 there was also a narrowing of the thermal gap due to the weakness of electricity demand, the increase in imports and the increase in renewable production. In this regard the contribution of renewable energies to total mainland production in 2019 was 41.7% (39.0% in 2018).
In this market context, and also taking into account the fall in the price of natural gas and the exemption of combined cycle power plants from the Special Hydrocarbons Tax (known as the "green cent"), together with the different tax treatment of imports, the cost of producing electricity with coal technology increased, amplifying the effect of loss of competitiveness against other technologies.
Looking ahead, in view of the European Union objectives for CO2 emissions in 2030 and 2050, the expected support for maintaining current prices of CO2 emission rights and the foreseeable greater narrowing of the thermal gap with the expected growth in renewable energy production plants, coal-fired power plants are likely to continue to become less competitive.
In this context:
ENDESA's electricity production in 2019 was 61,402 GWh, 17.2% less than in the previous year, as per the following details:
| Electricity Production (1) | 2019 | 2018 | % Var. |

Non-emitting technologies, renewable and nuclear, accounted for 59.2% of ENDESA's generation mix in 2019, compared with 71.3% for the rest of the sector (48.8% and 80.1% respectively in 2018).
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA held the following electricity market shares:
In 2019 conventional gas demand was down by 0.2% compared with the previous year, and at 31 December 2019 ENDESA had a market share of 15.6% in gas sales to customers in the deregulated market.

Depreciation and amortisation and impairment losses in 2019 totalled Euros 3,453 million, up by Euros 1,745 million (+102.2%) on 2018. To analyse the changes during the period, the following factors must be taken into account:
Impairment of the assets of the Iberian Peninsula coal-fired thermal power plants.
During 2019 there was a profound change in the market conditions affecting coal-fired thermal power plants, deriving basically from international commodity prices and the effectiveness of the new mechanisms for regulating the market for CO2 emission rights, which displaces the plants with the highest volume of emissions in favour of other technologies. In view of this structural situation ENDESA's mainland coal-fired thermal power plants are no longer competitive, and therefore their operation in the electricity generation market is not possible, as the evolution itself has proven (See Section 2.3.1. Income in this Consolidated Management Report).
In this context, on 27 September 2019, ENDESA resolved to promote the discontinuation of these facilities, in accordance with the established administrative and legal procedures. This decision has entailed:
On 27 December 2019 ENDESA submitted to the competent authorities the authorization requests for the closure of the As Pontes (La Coruña) and Litoral (Almería) Thermal Power Plants.
Impairment of the Cash Generating Units (CGUs) for each of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic Islands, the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla.
On 28 December 2019, Order TEC/1260/2019 of 26 December 2019was published. It establishes the technical and economic parameters to be used in calculating remuneration for electricity production in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) with additional remuneration regimes during the 2020-2025 regulatory period. This revision of technical and economic parameters implied for ENDESA, among other things, a decrease in the remuneration of operating and maintenance costs for the 2020-2025 regulatory period, and as a consequence, the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Units (CGU) for each of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) of the Balearic Islands, Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla is lower than its carrying amount, therefore. an impairment loss has been recognised in the Consolidated Income Statement for a total amount of Euros 404 million (see Notes 3c, 6.4, 9 and 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Application of IFRS 16 Leases.
In 2019 the heading Depreciation and Amortisation, and Impairment Losses in the Consolidated Income Statement includes an amount of Euros 34 million in depreciation and amortisation charges in this respect (see Section 2.2. Changes in Accounting Principles in this Consolidated Management Report).
Deterioration of the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands).
On 3 November 2018, Order TEC/1158/2018, dated October 29, was published, relating to the additional remuneration regime for existing electricity production facilities in the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) that must carry out additional investments derived from compliance with community or state regulations to continue operating, which does not include the coal Units of the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands).
The non-recognition of this additional remuneration regime meant that the Company submitted on 27 December 2018 to the General Directorate of Energy and Climate Change of the Balearic Government the request for authorization for the closure of Units I and II of the Alcudia Thermal Power Plant (Balearic Islands) and, in addition, a decrease in the estimated useful life of Units III and IV of said plant.
As a result, the recoverable amount of these assets was lower than their book value, so that an impairment loss amounting to 158 million euros was recorded in the Consolidated Income Statement for the year 2018 (see Notes 3c, 6.4, 9 and 28 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Net financial result in 2019 and 2018 was negative in the amounts of Euros 184 million and Euros 139 million respectively.

(1) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The price agreed for all these acquisitions was Euros 40 million, recognised under Intangible Assets in the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position, the net cash outflow being Euros 37 million (see Notes 2.3.1, 5.1 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 and Section 4.4. Cash Flows in this Consolidated Management Report).
These transactions are aimed at strengthening ENDESA's presence in the Iberian generation market by expanding the portfolio of renewable assets in its production mix (see Section 6.2. Strategic Pillars in this Consolidated Management Report).
The companies acquired are currently applying for the permits and licences to carry out their projects, so construction of the renewable energy facilities has not yet started and no ordinary revenue has been generated since acquisition date.

Information on Spain's regulatory framework is set out in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The main changes in the Spanish regulatory framework either approved in 2019 or with a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements for that year are described below.
On 22 December 2018 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published Order TEC/1366/2018 of 20 December 2018 establishing the access tariffs for 2019, which remained unchanged. It should be noted that this Order abolished the availability incentive of Order ITC/3127/2011 of 17 November 2011until such time as the capacity mechanisms for its alignment with European regulations and the energy transition process are revised.
Order TEC/1258/2019 of 20 December 2019 establishing access tariffs for 2020 was published in the Official State Gazette on 28 December 2019. In accordance with said Order, the access tariffs remain unchanged until the entry into force of the tariffs set by the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC").
On 22 December 2018 Order TEC/1367/2018 of 20 December 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the gas access tariffs for 2019, which were maintained unchanged, and on 28 December 2018 the Resolution of 26 December was published, with the Last Resort Tariffs (TUR) for natural gas to be applied from 1 January 2019, resulting in an average reduction of approximately 4%, due to the reduction in the cost of the raw material.
On 30 March 2019 the Official State Gazette (BOE) published the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines Resolution of 22 March establishing the Last Resort Tariff (TUR) for natural gas applicable from 1 April 2019, which depending on whether Last Resort Rate 1 ("TUR1") or Last Resort Tariff 2 ("TUR2") is concerned, results in an average decrease relative to the previous period of between 5.2% and 6.6%, due to the reduction in the cost of the raw material.
On 28 December 2019 Order TEC/1259/2019 of 20 December 2019 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the gas access tariffs for 2020, which were maintained unchanged, and on 30 December 2019 the Resolution of 23 December of the General Directorate of Energy Policy and Mines was published, with the Last Resort Tariffs (TUR) for natural gas to be applied from 1 January 2020, resulting in an average reduction of between 3.3% and 4.2% depending on whether TUR1 or TUR2 is concerned, respectively, due to the reduction in the cost of the raw material.
Law 18/2014 of 15 October 2014 approving urgent measures to support growth, competitiveness and efficiency, created the National Energy Efficiency Fund with the aim of achieving energy savings.
Order TEC/332/2019 of 20 March 2019 established a contribution by ENDESA to the National Energy Efficiency Fund of Euros 29 million, corresponding to its obligations for 2019.
In December 2019, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition (now the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge) began processing a proposed Order establishing the contribution to the National Energy Efficiency Fund for 2020, of which ENDESA's share is Euros 24.7 million.
On 7 April 2018, Order ETU/361/2018, of 6 April 2018 was published, amending the Social Bonus application forms established in Order ETU/943/2017 of 6 October 2017 implementing Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017 regulating the concept of vulnerable consumers, the Social Bonus and other protection measures for domestic consumers of electricity. Furthermore, this Order extended the existing transitional period until 8 October 2018 for consumers of electricity who, on the date of entry into force of Order ETU/943/2017 of 6 October 2017 were beneficiaries of the Social Bonus, to prove the status of vulnerable consumer in accordance with the provisions of Royal Decree 897/2017 of 6 October 2017. However, under Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018, as described below, if these consumers had applied for the Social Bonus between 8 October 2018 and 31 December 2018, they would have been able to benefit from it from 8 October 2018.
Order TEC/1080/2019 of 23 October 2019 established the distribution percentage of the financing of the 2019 Social Bonus, the percentage corresponding to ENDESA, S.A. being 36.26%, compared with the previous 37.15%.
On 28 January 2020, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge began the process of hearings on the proposal for an Order establishing the distribution of financing of the Social Bonus for 2020, the percentage proposed for ENDESA, S.A. being 35.57%.
This Order revises the various technical and economic parameters for the remuneration of generation facilities in the Electricity Systems of the Non-mainland Territories (TNP) for the second regulatory period (2020-2025), applying the methodology set out in Royal Decree 738/2015 of 31 July 2015. The Order also envisages, in relation to fuel prices, that within three months the product and logistics prices will be revised by Ministerial Order, effective from 1 January 2020. In this regard, on 20 February 2020, the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and Demographic Challenge has begun processing a proposed Order revising the prices of products and logistics to be used in determining the price of fuel for production facilities in the Nonmainland Territories (TNP), with effect from 1 January 2020 (see Section 2.3.2. Operating Expenses in this Consolidated Management Report).
On 25 December 2018, Order TEC/1380/2018 of 20 December 2018 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), establishing the regulatory bases for the granting of investment aid for electricity production facilities based on wind and photovoltaic technologies located in Non-mainland Territories (TNP), cofinanced with funds from the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF).
On 27 December 2018, the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE in the Spanish acronym) passed a Resolution convening auctions of subsidies for investment in wind facilities in the Canary Islands, with an allocation of Euros 80 million and for maximum power of 217 MW. On 27 June 2019, the final resolution was published, and ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded wind power of 16.1 MW. The deadline for the installation and commissioning of the renewable energy facilities established in the Resolution is 30 June 2022.
Also, on 27 March 2019 the Institute for Energy Diversification and Savings (IDAE) passed a Resolution convening auctions of subsidies for investment in photovoltaic facilities in the Balearic Islands, with an allocation of Euros 40 million. On 28 November 2019, the final resolution was published, and ENDESA, through ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), was awarded photovoltaic power of 72.4 MW. The deadline for the installation and commissioning of the renewable energy facilities established in the Resolution is 30 December 2022.
On 12 January 2019, the Official State Gazette (BOE) published this Royal Decree Law, intended to adapt the competences of the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") to EU law, following requests made by the EU authorities.
According to this Royal Decree Law, the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") will be responsible for approving, via circulars, aspects such as the structure, methodology and specific values of access tariffs for natural gas and electricity transmission and distribution networks, and for liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants; the methodology and parameters for establishing remuneration for the transmission and distribution of gas and electricity, liquefied natural gas plants (LNG), the gas System operator and technical manager, and remuneration on transmission and distribution within the maximum limit established by the government.
The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge will approve a series of energy policy guidelines that the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") will have to take into consideration, and which will cover aspects such as security of supply, the economic and financial sustainability of the System, independence of supply, air quality, efforts to combat climate change, demand management, selection of future technologies and the rational use of energy. The Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge will have one month in which to approve circulars of the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") that affect energy policy matters or concern tariffs, remuneration of regulated activities, access and connection conditions and the rules for operating the Electricity and Gas System. In the event of any discrepancy, a Cooperation Committee will work to reach an understanding.
The new functions of the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") will apply in any case from 1 January 2020. Any procedures begun prior to this Royal Decree Law coming into force, as well as any procedure which, regardless of when it was initiated, refers to years prior to 2019, will be dealt with in accordance with previous regulations.
The Royal Decree Law also amends certain aspects of Law 24/2013 of 26 December on the electricity sector. Regarding the rate of financial remuneration for transmission and distribution, which by virtue of the Royal Decree Law will be established by the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC"), the government will set in law a maximum limit on its value, linked to 10-year government bonds in the 24 months prior to the month of May of the year preceding the start of each new regulatory period, plus a spread to be established for each regulatory period. If at the start of the new period this limit has not been established, the maximum limit corresponding to the previous period will be extended, or failing this, the rate of remuneration from the previous period will be used.
As for generation operations covered by the additional remuneration regime in Non-mainland Territories (TNP), the rate of financial remuneration will be set by the government. This rate may be modified before the start of each regulatory period, linked to 10-year government bonds in the 24 months prior to the month of May in the year preceding the start of each new regulatory period, plus a spread to be established by law for each regulatory period. If at the start of a new regulatory period this rate of financial remuneration has not been established, that of the previous regulatory period will be deemed to be extended.
Finally, regarding facilities producing electricity from renewable energy sources, high efficiency cogeneration, and waste, under specific remuneration regimes, in the review corresponding to each regulatory period the value on which the reasonable rate of return is based over the remaining regulatory life of standard facilities may be amended, and will be established by law.
Royal Decree Law 1/2019 of 11 January 2019, among other aspects, establishes that the Government must approve before 1 January 2020 the methodology for calculating the charges of the Electricity and Gas Systems. Therefore, in May 2019 the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge opened a public consultation prior to drawing up the Royal Decree establishing the calculation methodology to be used for Electricity and Gas System charges and their structure, in order to gather the opinions of all agents and parties involved.
This methodology must establish which variables to use to distribute the costs that have to be covered by the charges, so that the distribution is not discriminatory and conforms to the energy policies promoted by the Government, that is, that boost efficiency, the electrification of the economy and the fair energy transition.
In accordance with Royal Decree Law 1/2019 of 11 January 20019 it will fall to the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC") to assume a series of competences, including the approval and setting, by means of Circulars, of certain regulatory aspects.
In this context, the CNMC has carried out a public consultation process on various Circulars, the most significant ones being the following, some of which have already been approved:
On 23 October 2019, the CNMC approved Communication 1/2019, which defines a set of financial ratios for assessing the level of indebtedness and the economic and financial capacity of regulated companies, proposing recommended values for these ratios and creating a global index of ratios that would have an impact on the remuneration below certain values.
The scope of application covers the transport and distribution activities of the electricity and gas sectors. Additionally, for purposes of assessing acquisitions or other equity investments it could also be applied to companies carrying on activities in Non-mainland Territories (TNP) in the Electricity Sector, and to companies that carry on activities in the oil and gas sector.
On 23 November 2019, Royal Decree Law 17/2019 of 22 November 2019was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), adopting urgent measures for the necessary adaptation of remuneration parameters affecting the electricity system (financial remuneration rate) and responding to the rapid process of cessation of activity of thermal power plants, in order to boost the industrial reactivation of the areas affected. The most significant aspects are:
On 6 April 2019, Royal Decree 244/2019 of April 5 2019 was published in the Official State Gazette (BOE), regulating the administrative, technical and economic conditions for self-consumption of electric power, in compliance with the provisions of Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 on urgent measures for the energy transition and consumer protection.
Royal Decree 244/2019 of 5 April 2019 covers the following aspects, among others:
The European Union has made a clear commitment to fight against global warning, setting a target to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by, at least, 80% from 1990 to 2050, and defining ambitious goals and objectives for all member states. It also signed the Paris Agreement, the aim of which is to prevent the planet from warming by more than 2ºC compared to pre-industrial levels, in addition to other efforts to ensure the global rise in temperature does not exceed 1.5ºC.
These targets are currently being transposed into Spanish law and on 22 February 2019 the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge opened a public consultation on the Strategic Energy and Climate Framework, basically containing the following documents:
On 5 April 2019, the Council of Ministers approved the National Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty for 2019-2024, in response to the mandate contained in Royal Decree Law 15/2018 of 5 October 2018 on urgent measures for energy transition and consumer protection.
In this instrument the concepts of energy poverty and vulnerable consumer are defined, a diagnosis of the situation of energy poverty is made, including the implications for health, personal, social and equality development, action paths are determined and objectives for reduction are set.
The National Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty is based on the need to maintain and improve the benefit systems (electricity and thermal Social Bonus) as transitional instruments that will gradually give way to structural measures that seek to address the root causes and long-term implications of the problem.
In order to analyse and carry out an appropriate monitoring of the various types of energy poverty, the official primary indicators adopted are those contemplated by the European Observatory against energy poverty (energy expenditure as a percentage of income, hidden energy poverty, inability to keep the home at an appropriate temperature and late payment of bills). In order to improve the lowest value in the series of these indicators in 2008-2017, and raise the European Union (EU) average, the Strategy establishes a minimum reduction objective of 25% in 2025 (vs. 2017), with a target of 50%.
The time frame of the National Strategy to Combat Energy Poverty will be 5 years (2019-2024), and for its execution the development of operational plans is envisaged. Its management and monitoring will correspond to the Institute for Diversification and Energy Saving (IDAE).
The National Strategy against Energy Poverty establishes four lines comprising 19 concrete measures:
On 21 January 2020 the Council of Ministers approved a Declaration on the Climate and Environmental Emergency in Spain, committing itself to adopt 30 priority lines of action to combat climate change with transversal policies. This Declaration is made in response to the general consensus of the scientific community which demands urgent action to safeguard the environment, health and safety of citizens.
In the Declaration, the Executive undertakes to execute five of the aforementioned 30 measures in the first 100 days of Government:
Within the framework of an efficient cost management and optimisation policy, the finance function in Spain is centralised in ENDESA, S.A.
At the date of approval in this Consolidated Management Report, the Company had the necessary liquidity and access to medium/long-term financial resources to ensure the availability of the funds required to meet its future investment obligations and debt maturities.
ENDESA, S.A. maintains similar criteria of prudence to those applied until now in its level of debt and in its debt structure by obtaining long-term financing that allows it to adapt the debt maturity schedules to its cash generation capacity in accordance with the planned business plan. To this end:
ENDESA, S.A. also carries out transactions with ENEL Group companies in which the applicable transfer pricing regulations are followed.
The year 2019 began with uncertainty about the growth of the economy, the latent threat of new trade disputes, doubts about the final terms of the Brexit process and, in the case of Spain, uncertainty about the electoral process following the vote of no confidence of 2018.
At the meeting of the European Central Bank (ECB) in March, following the drastic deterioration in growth prospects, Mario Draghi adjusted the Bank's policy by delaying expectations of rate hikes and anticipating the launch of new injections of liquidity for the month of September.
Following the poor economic data, investors took refuge in euro zone public debt, and the 10-year German bond started to yield negative returns in March, as had happened in 2016, reaching an all-time low of - 0.72% at the end of August. In the case of the 30-year German bond, there was an unprecedented case of trading with negative returns from August to October 2019.
In September, the European Central Bank (ECB) kept its main interest rates at 0% but cut the deposit facility rate (rate charged to banks for their deposits) by 10 basis points to -0.50% . It also launched a new asset purchase or quantitative easing programme (QE2). After eight years in office, at the end of October Mario Draghi ceded the presidency of the European Central Bank (ECB) to Christine Lagarde, formerly Director of the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
In the case of the US dollar (USD), the Federal Reserve also changed its strategy and cut interest rates, which had not happened since 2008, reducing the reference interest rate on three consecutive occasions by 25 basis points to place it in a range between 1.50% and 1.75%.
During 2019, the yield on the 10-year Spanish bond fell from 1.42% at the beginning of the year to 0.46% at year-end, reaching an all-time low in August by trading at 0.03%. As a result, Spain's country risk premium (differential with the German 10-year bond) improved by 53 basis points (bps) to reach 65 bps at the end of 2019. In Italy, the risk premium stood at 160 bps at the end of 2019, 90 bps less than the previous year, while Portugal's risk premium decreased by 86 bps to 62 bps at the end of the year.
During 2019 the long-term euro interest rate (10-year swap) decreased by 60 bps to 0.21% at the end of the year, having traded in August at historical lows of -0.33%.

At the date on which this Consolidated Management Report was drawn up, ENDESA, S.A. had no commitments to obtain funds through its own sources of finance.
Information on capital management is provided in Note 14.1.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.

During 2019, the only change in the sovereign rating of the Kingdom of Spain was that decided on by Standard & Poor's on 20 September 2019. On that date Standard & Poor's raised the rating from A- with positive outlook to A with stable outlook. For their part, Fitch and Moody's maintained their ratings unchanged at A- with stable outlook and Baa1 with stable outlook respectively.
With regard to ENDESA, during 2019 we would highlight improvements in the long-term credit ratings assigned by Fitch and Moody's, while Standard & Poor's maintained its rating unchanged from the BBB+ / stable level in which it placed it in 2017. Short-term ratings were maintained in all cases.
The first change was that of Fitch, on 11 February 2019, when it raised ENDESA's rating from BBB+ to A-, leaving the outlook unchanged at stable. Subsequently, on 16 July 2019, Moody's raised ENDESA's longterm credit rating outlook from stable to positive, leaving the rating at Baa2.
According to the Moody's report, ENDESA's credit strength is supported by its scale and the high proportion of regulated activities within its business, with the low level of indebtedness also standing our as a positive lever. For its part, Fitch highlighted in its report that ENDESA is well positioned to capture long-term growth opportunities in the Iberian Peninsula, both in renewables and in distribution, given its strong balance sheet.
The evolution of ENDESA's credit ratings can be summarised as follows:
| Credit Rating | ||||||

(1) Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA has no special purpose entities, understood as entities which, without necessarily holding a controlling interest in them, it effectively controls, meaning that it substantially obtains most of the profits earned by the entity and retains most of the risks involved.
Information concerning events after the end of the reporting period is provided in Note 38 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
During 2019 ENDESA made further progress and passed new milestones on its committed path towards a more sustainable, dynamic and efficient business model, aligned with its strategic vision of being a leading player in the energy transformation that Spain is faced with and capitalising on any new opportunities that may arise as a result of this great.
The European Union has made a clear commitment in the fight against global warming, aiming for a climateneutral Europe in 2050. The European Union thus subscribes to the Paris Agreement, the objective of which is to prevent the average global temperature from rising to more than 2° C above pre-industrial levels, as well as to promote additional efforts that make it possible for global warming not to exceed 1.5° C.
The transposition of these objectives into Spanish legislation is in process, and in this regard on 22 February 2019 the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge launched a public consultation on the Strategic Energy and Climate Framework, which basically contains the following documents (see Section 3. Regulatory Framework in this Consolidated Management Report).
During COP 25 in Madrid in December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, an ambitious package of measures with which Europe seeks to lead the fight against climate change and head the transition of the world economy towards a clean and fair model. To do this, the document includes more than 35 initiatives in all areas of European Union (EU) activity, which will have to be implemented in the coming years.
The fulfilment of these ambitious decarbonisation objectives in Spain will mean facing great challenges between now and 2030. With the publication of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan ENDESA reiterates its firm commitment to contributing to the development of a new energy model, based on a high degree of electrification from renewable sources, as a more efficient and sustainable energy vector that ensures a fair and inclusive transition.
The main lines of the new Strategic Plan are closely aligned with the new energy paradigm, both in order to capture the new growth opportunities associated with the energy transition and to continue consolidating the current leadership position. This Plan is based on the following priorities:
In addition, all the objectives of ENDESA's Strategic Plan confirm the commitments of the Company's business model to the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015 by United Nations, especially with SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and even more mainly, 13 (Climate Action), to which more than 90% of the Plan's investments are dedicated (see Section 8.3. ENDESA's contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA's commitment to gradually reducing emissions to achieve the final zero emissions targets in 2050 is reflected in the following strategic lines:
This profound transformation of the generation mix will allow ENDESA to obtain an emission-free mainland production estimated for 2022 at 85% of the total, with a 60% share of renewable sources. Additionally, this change in the mix will favour a 70% reduction in the total specific emissions of CO2 in 2030 compared with 2017, putting ENDESA in a good position to achieve the goal of total decarbonisation by 2050.

ENDESA expects an increase in future electricity demand, since this is the cleanest and most sustainable source of energy. That is why it must be prepared to meet the new and more complex needs of customers resulting from this paradigm shift, as well as to stay ahead of market trends, anticipating the creation of new, more efficient and sophisticated products and services. This will involve the implementation of the following actions:
Development of the electricity grid has long been a fundamental pillar of ENDESA's strategy. Projected investment, driven by the electrification of demand and the inclusion of renewable energies, aims to improve grid quality and efficiency, reducing operating costs, and increasing the value of assets through investments in smart grids and the pursuit of excellence.
To this end, ENDESA continues with its investment effort aimed at becoming the reference digital operator, and for this it will allocate Euros 1,100 million in the 2019-2022 period to the development, automation and modernisation of the network. This amount represents approximately 55% of the Euros 2,000 million total investment envisaged for this business in the plan.
These digitalisation initiatives will help to improve grid reliability and service quality. In particular, ENDESA intends to cut interruptions by 19%, grid losses by 0.3 percentage points, and operating costs per customer by 9% in three years.
The changes in the electricity sector that will derive from the application of supranational energy transition policies, and which in the case of Spain have been reflected in the Draft National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), will lead to an increase in electricity consumption as a proportion of total final energy consumption reflected in the generalised use of:
These changes in consumption patterns and the development of new platforms open the door to new business opportunities that ENDESA expects to exploit and expand under the ENDESA X business line (see Section 1.5. Corporate Map in this Consolidated Management Report).
Quantitatively, mature businesses, which include the e-Home and e-Industries lines, will absorb about two thirds of the almost Euros 200 million of investment allocated to ENDESA X in order to maintain the growth path achieved in the last few years. These mature businesses will lay the foundations for the development of new ones that involve future business opportunities, such as e-Mobility, energy storage by means of batteries and services associated with electric vehicles and demand management.
These strategic lines of action are combined with the strong commitment that ENDESA maintains to the search for continuous efficiency through the digitalisation of its businesses. To this end, ENDESA intends to deploy digitalisation investment programmes across all businesses, amounting to Euros 1,300 million between 2019 and 2022, which will involve an estimated improvement in EBITDA of Euros 150 million by 2022. The largest such investments will come in Distribution, with Euros 1,100 million invested in digitalising said business, accounting for approximately 85% of the investments envisaged for the period.
The Industrial Plan approved by the Board of ENDESA, S.A. on 26 November 2019 contains an investment target, net of subsidies and assets assigned by customers, of Euros 7,700 million between 2019 and 2022, 20% more than in the previous Strategic Plan.
The breakdown of this Plan by nature of investments is as follows:
The breakdown of the investment plan by Business Lines is as follows:
On the basis of the strategic pillars described above, and taking account of market and regulatory estimates for the next few years, ENDESA has drawn up a business plan including, among other parameters, forecasts of economic indicators for the Group's consolidated results. In accordance with this, ENDESA expects a positive trend as follows:
EBITDA: Euros 4,300 million in 2022.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, prospective information cannot be considered a guarantee of the Company's future performance as plans and forecasts are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could result in ENDESA's future performance not matching the initial forecasts (see Section 7. Main Risks and Uncertainties in connection with ENDESA's Business in this Consolidated Management Report).
The General Risk Control and Management Policy establishes the basic principles and the general framework for the control and management of risks of all kinds that might affect the attainment of the objectives, ensuring that they are identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled systematically and within the levels of risk established.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy seeks to guide and steer the set of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. to precisely delineate the acceptable level of risk, so that the managers, staff and service functions of the various Business Lines can maximise the Company's profitability, preservation or increase of its equity and treasury and certainty of level of success, preventing uncertain and future events from having a negative influence on its ability to achievement the company's profitability objectives, its operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained manner over time, providing an adequate level of guarantees to shareholders and safeguarding their interests, as well as those of customers and other stakeholders.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented and supplemented by other risk policies specific to the Business Line, staff and service functions, as well as by limits established for optimal risk management in each of them.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented through an Internal Control and Risk Management System (Spanish acronym: SCIGR), which comprises an organisation, principles, a regulatory system and a risk control and management process.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System conforms to a model based on the one hand on an ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or benchmark sectors as regards risk management, homogeneous measurement criteria within the same type of risk, segregation of risk managers and controllers, and, on the other hand, on ensuring a link between the risk assumed and the resources needed to operate the businesses, always maintaining an appropriate balance between the risk assumed and the objectives set by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A.
The Company's risk control and management model is aligned with international standards following a methodology based on the three lines of defence model.
The organisation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System is implemented through independent risk management and control functions that ensure adequate segregation of duties. The main governing bodies in the risk control process are:
Crime Risk Prevention Model Supervisory Committee This is a collegiate body with autonomous powers of initiative and control with regard to criminal risks, which is directly supervised by the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC). It supervises compliance and updating of the model for preventing risks of crime for which ENDESA may be held liable.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy defines the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR) as an interwoven system of rules, processes, controls and reporting systems in which overall risk is defined as the risk resulting from the overall view of all risks to which the Company is exposed, taking into account the mitigating effects for the various exposures and risk classes, allowing for consolidation and appraisal of risk exposure of the Company's various business units and the development of the corresponding management information for taking decisions on risk and the appropriate use of capital.
The risk control and management process consists in the identification, evaluation, monitoring and management over time of the various risks, and takes account of the main risks to which the Company is exposed, whether of internal or external origin:
The General Risk Control and Management Policy set and approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A., constitutes the central element of the system from which other specific documents and policies are derived, for example, the "Policy on Management and Control of Tax Risks" and the "Criminal Compliance and Anti-Bribery Policy", which are approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. and in which catalogues of risks and controls are defined.
In addition, in view of the growing interest in the control and management of the risks to which companies are exposed and given how complicated it is becoming to identify them from a comprehensive point of view, it is important for employees to take part at all levels in this process. In this regard a risk mailbox has been created for employees to help identify market risks and come up with suggestions for measures to mitigate them, thereby complementing the existing top-down risk control and management systems and mailboxes and specific procedures for reporting breaches of ethical behaviour, criminal risks and employment risks.
Information regarding ENDESA's risk management and the use of derivative financial instruments is provided in Notes 18.3 and 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
The Annual Corporate Governance Report, which describes ENDESA's risk management and control systems, forms an integral part in this Consolidated Management Report (see Section 15. Annual Corporate Governance Report required by Article 538 of Royal Decree Law 1/2010, of 2 July 2010, approving the Consolidated Text of the Spanish Corporate Enterprises Act in this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA is aware that the sustainable fulfilment of its corporate responsibilities must be accompanied by a constant quest for excellence in the areas of business ethics in all its decision-making processes, something that must be understood in a corporate environment where strict respect for the most advanced national and international rules, practices and principles in this area is one of the cornerstones of its business activities.
As regards the prevention of criminal behaviour, Organic Law 5/2010 of 22 June 2010, amending Organic Law 10/1995 of 23 November 1995 on the Criminal Code not only included offences applicable to legal persons, but also referred to the need to establish surveillance and control measures to prevent and detect them. This legal regime was reformed by Organic Law 1/2015 of 30 March 2015 detailing the requirements for control and management systems that allow legal persons to prove their diligence in the field of criminal prevention and detection. The Organic Law 1/2019, of February 20, again amended the Organic Law 10/1995, of November 23, of the Criminal Code, to transpose European Union Directives in the financial and terrorism fields, and to address issues of a nature international.
In line with these legal requirements, ENDESA has developed internal regulatory instruments that have satisfied the need for adequate control and management systems applied in the area of criminal detection and prevention, particularly in conduct aimed at preventing bribery.
This system comprises the following standards applicable to ENDESA:
The Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy was added to these internal rules. Together with those mentioned above, they all make up ENDESA's Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System, an integrated body of provisions that not only respects Spanish legal requirements in this area, but is also sufficient to meet the expectations reasonably placed on organisations that operate with the highest levels of commitment in advanced markets, such as ENDESA.
Since October 2017, ENDESA's Criminal Regulatory and Anti-bribery Compliance Management System has been certified by the Spanish standards body AENOR in accordance with "UNE 19601" (Compliance Management) and "UNE-ISO 37001" (Anti-bribery Management) Standards.
Verification of the correct application of the "Criminal Regulatory and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System" corresponds to the Audit and Compliance Committee, for which purposes it uses the Supervision Committee, which is a collegiate body endowed with autonomous powers of initiative and control and independence in the exercise of its functions and whose powers and principles of action are established in its Regulations. The Supervision Committee reports solely and exclusively to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC), which has specific functions including the prevention of criminal risks according to Operating Regulations.
During the 2019 financial year, the Company has fully complied with all the processes established for the correct application of the Code of Ethics.
In 2019, ENDESA received a total of 11 complaints of various types, seven of which related to corruption and/or fraud, either through the Ethical Channel or other means. The investigation into all these allegations is closed at the time of writing this Consolidated Management Report.
Of the complaints received and closed related to corruption and/or fraud, 2 breaches of the Code of Ethics have been verified, which have been referred to a specialist for management following the established protocol.
The quality and reliability of the financial reporting that listed companies disseminate to the market is a fundamental element for the Company's credibility, which significantly affects the value that the market assigns to it, such that the dissemination of incorrect or low quality financial information could cause a significant decrease in the value of the Company, with the consequent damage to its shareholders.
The Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) is a component of the company's internal control system and consists of a complete set of processes that ensure reasonable certainty regarding the reliability of both internal and external financial information. The ENDESA Internal Control Unit is the area responsible for identifying the most relevant processes, activities, risks and controls of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) that it considers material to provide reasonable assurance that the information disclosed externally by ENDESA is reliable and appropriate.
The documentation of the processes forming part of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) of ENDESA contains detailed descriptions of the activities relating to the preparation of financial information from its beginning to its registration in accounting and its subsequent external publication, through its authorisation and process and has been prepared with the following basic objectives:
Every six months, ENDESA carries out an evaluation process of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) in which each person responsible for the controls of the SCIIF evaluates both its design and its effectiveness. Within the model, an ongoing verification process of the SCIIF is also carried out by an independent expert. The results of both processes are reported to:

ENDESA has established a process of control and management of risks that allows it to obtain a complete vision of all the risks to which it is exposed, considering the mitigation effects between the different exposures and categories thereof, as well as the preparation of the corresponding management information for decision making in terms of risk and appropriate use of capital.
The Risk Committee supervises the management and monitoring of all risks excluding those of a criminal nature and those related to the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF). The mission of the Risk Committee is:
The Risk Control Area is the area delegated by the Risk Committee to define the procedures and norms of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (SCIGR), to ensure that all the risks in its area of responsibility that affect the entity are homogeneously and periodically identified, characterised, quantified and properly managed, including off-balance sheet risks, and to monitor risk exposure and the control activities implemented.
Following the provisions of the internal operating instructions, Risk Control unit is responsible for developing, for the risks in its scope of application:
To carry out its functions, Risk Control unit relies on other areas and committees that have specific and complementary risk control and management models and policies. Thus, for example, in tax matters, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. has also approved a Policy for the Management and Control of Tax Risks that seeks to guide and direct all the strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the managers of the Tax Affairs Unit and of the different areas of the organisation whose functions affect the
company's taxation to achieve the objectives set by the company's Tax Strategy regarding the control and management of tax risks.
ENDESA's activities are carried out in a context in which external factors may affect the performance of its operations and its earnings.

(4) They correspond to risks whose impact could be difficult to quantify economically (in general, high impact and probability, after the mitigation mechanisms implemented, very low or very difficult to determine).
ENDESA's activities are subject to extensive regulation regarding tariffs and other factors of its activities in Spain and Portugal, which in many regards determines how ENDESA carries on its activity and the income it receives from its products and services.
ENDESA is subject to a complex group of regulations applied by both public and private agencies, including Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC"). The introduction of new standards, or the amendment of those already in effect could have a negative impact on ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information regarding sectoral regulation may be found in Section 3. Regulatory Framework in this Consolidated Management Report, and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
In addition, the European Union has established an operating framework for the various Member States, which includes, among others, objectives related to emissions, efficiency and renewable energies.
The introduction of new requirements, or amendments to existing ones, could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial positions and cash flows if it were to be unable to adapt and manage correctly the environment arising from them.
Information on likely trends in the new economic and industrial model and ENDESA's Industrial Plan may be found in Sections 6.1. Energy Policy Context and 6.2. Strategic Pillars in this Consolidated Management Report, respectively.
ENDESA maintains a firm commitment in the fight against climate change and therefore decisions are made at the highest level of Management. Climate change is one of the main pillars of the Company's strategy, and it is the Board of Directors that is responsible for its development and implementation.
As proof of this commitment, ENDESA has assumed the objective of achieving a mix of emission-free generation in 2050 and a reduction of specific carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions of 70% in 2030 relative to 2017. These objectives, which involve the evolution of the existing generation facilities towards an emissionfree model, imply the alignment of the company with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and with the latest findings of Science.
In developing the business strategy, ENDESA uses scenarios on climate change. For the physical risks, the climatic scenarios published in the fifth report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) are used, while for the transition risks, the Drafts National Integrated Energy and Climate Plans (PNIEC) of Spain and Portugal are used.
The effects of climate change are already noticeable in the global socio-economic reality and, in the most likely scenario, will have significant consequences for the viability and development of sectors such as energy. Climate change planning must necessarily incorporate a new vision in which the transition to a decarbonised economy and adaptation to its effects are integrated into the decision-making process.
Climate change has consequences for the operation of assets due to the increase in temperature, the availability of renewable resources (water, wind and solar) and the frequency and intensity of extreme events.
The risks associated with climate change affect the price of commodities (coal, gas, oil, etc.) and can cause regulatory changes that modify or preclude the operation of the most carbon-intensive assets, which imply a high price within the framework of the Emissions Trading Regime, hindering the operation of the most carbon-intensive technologies and making it difficult for electricity to compete against with other energy alternatives which do not have to pass on the cost of CO2 emission rights.
Additionally, climate change promotes and encourages the development and extensive use of technologies such as renewable energy, energy storage through batteries, energy efficiency and smart grids, which requires monitoring and leading innovation, as well as new investments to maintain the competitive position of the Company and protect the image of ENDESA in a context in which society's and customers' perceptions of its contributing to or turning its back on organising the transition to an economy with low CO2 emissions are subject to change.
ENDESA presents each year its Strategic Plan, which includes the strategic guidelines and objectives for the company's economic, financial and equity growth, as well as its contribution to society.
The main assumptions on which the forecasts and objectives of the Strategic Plan are based are related to:
ENDESA cannot guarantee that its prospects will be fulfilled in the terms communicated, since these are based, among other issues:
The ENDESA Strategic Plan foresees a significant investment effort in electricity production and distribution systems and facilities. The execution of these investments is dependent on market and regulatory conditions. If the necessary conditions for the viability of the plants do not exist, ENDESA may have to cease production at the facilities and, if necessary, begin the task of dismantling them. These closures would involve a reduction in installed capacity and output that support customer energy sales and, therefore, could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Consequently, and in accordance with accounting standards, ENDESA assesses throughout the year and in any case at the end of each year whether there is any indication that a non-financial asset may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset's recoverable amount to determine the extent of any impairment loss. Information on impairment losses on non-financial assets recognised in 2019 is provided in Notes 3e.4 and 6.4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Information on ENDESA's Strategic Plan is provided in Section 6. Outlook of this Consolidated Management Report and the information relating to ENDESA's commitment to sustainable development is contained in Section 8. Sustainability Policy of this Consolidated Management Report.
b.1. ENDESA's business is largely dependent on the constant supply of large amounts of fuel to generate electricity; on the supply of electricity and natural gas used for its own consumption and supply; and on the supply of other commodities, the prices of which are subject to market forces which may affect the price and the amount of energy sold by ENDESA.
The contribution margin on ENDESA's deregulated businesses in 2019 was Euros 2,722 million, most of which corresponds to deregulated activities subject to the effects of competition and market volatility. These activities require purchases of gas, electricity and raw materials, as follows:
ENDESA is exposed to market price risks in relation to the purchase of fuel (including gas and coal) and the price of carbon emission rights required to generate electricity, for procuring gas and for supply activities. In this connection, fuel price fluctuations in international markets may affect the contribution margin.
ENDESA has entered into electricity and natural gas supply contracts based on certain assumptions regarding future market prices for electricity and natural gas. Any deviation from the assumptions made when these supply contracts were signed could give rise to an obligation to purchase electricity or natural gas at prices that are higher than those envisaged in the contracts. In the event of a market price adjustment relative to the estimates made, a deviation in ENDESA's assumptions relative to its fuel needs, or a regulatory change affecting prices as a whole and how they have been established, and if its risk management strategies were inadequate in the face of such changes, ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
ENDESA has signed certain natural gas supply contracts which include binding "take or pay" clauses which compel it to either acquire the fuel it has agreed to contractually or to pay even if it does not acquire such fuel. The terms of these contracts have been established based on certain assumptions regarding future electricity and gas demand. Any deviation from the assumptions used could give rise to an obligation to purchase more fuel than necessary or to sell excess fuel on the market at current prices.
Information on energy stock purchase commitments is provided in Section 4.6. Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Transactions in this Consolidated Management Report and Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA is exposed to foreign currency risk, mainly in relation to the payments it must make in international markets to acquire energy-related commodities, especially natural gas and international coal, where the prices of these commodities are usually denominated in US dollars (USD).
Therefore, this means that fluctuations in the foreign exchange rate could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to currency risk and an exchange rate sensitivity analysis are provided in Note 19.2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Adverse economic conditions could have a negative impact on energy demand and the ability of ENDESA's consumers to fulfil their payment obligations. In times of economic recession, as experienced by Spain and Portugal in recent years, electricity demand usually falls off, adversely affecting the Company's results.
If the economic situation in Spain, Portugal or other euro zone economies deteriorates, it could adversely affect energy consumption and, consequently, ENDESA's business activities, financial position, operating results and cash flows would be negatively affected.
Apart from this, the financial conditions in the international markets pose a challenge for ENDESA's economic situation due to the potential impact on its business of the level of public debt, low growth rates, the rating of sovereign bonds at the international level and in particular in euro zone countries, and the monetary expansion measures in the credit market. Changes in any of these factors could affect ENDESA's access to capital markets and the terms on which it obtains financing, consequently affecting its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
In addition to any economic problems that could arise at the international level, ENDESA faces a situation of uncertainty at the political level, in Spain and internationally, which could adversely affect the Company's economic and financial position. Specifically, it is considered that the impact of Brexit and other international events is not material for ENDESA.
ENDESA cannot guarantee that the international or euro zone economic situation will not deteriorate, or that an event of a political nature will not have a significant impact on the markets, thus affecting, its business, its economic situation, results and cash flows.
ENDESA's electricity production depends on the levels of natural resources, availability of plants and market conditions. The production of renewable power plants depends on levels of rainfall, sunshine and wind existing in the geographical areas where the hydroelectric, wind and photovoltaic generation facilities are located. Therefore, if there are droughts or low levels of wind or sunshine or other circumstances adversely affecting generation from renewable sources, ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
Demand not covered by renewable sources is produced by thermal power plants, whose production, as well as their margin, depends on the competitiveness between different technologies. A year with low rainfall, few hours of sunshine or little wind leads to a decline in hydroelectric, solar or wind output, in turn increasing the output of thermal power plants, at greater cost, and therefore an increase in the price of electricity and costs of buying energy. In a wet year, with more sunshine and wind, the opposite effects occur. In the event of adverse conditions due to low levels of resources, electricity generation will come more from thermal plants and ENDESA's operating expenses will increase. ENDESA's inability to manage changes in natural resource conditions could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
In an average year, it has been estimated that hydroelectric production can vary by ± 28%, wind by ± 5% and photovoltaic by ± 1%. Thus, in 2019 the generation of electricity in hydroelectric plants in ENDESA was 5,861 GWh, whereas for an equivalent power, the production in 2018 was 8,459 GWh.
Information concerning ENDESA's electricity production (Gwh) by technology can be found in Section 2.6. Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report.
Weather conditions and in particular seasonality have a significant impact on demand for electricity, with electricity consumption peaking in summer and winter. Seasonal changes in demand are attributed to various weather-related factors such as the climate, the amount of natural light, and the use of light, heating and air conditioning. Changes in demand due to weather conditions can have a major effect on the profitability of the business. Additionally, ENDESA must make certain projections and estimates regarding weather conditions when negotiating its contracts and a significant divergence in rainfall and other weather conditions envisaged could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, adverse weather conditions could impact the regular supply of energy due to damage to the network, with the resulting interruption in services which could compel ENDESA to compensate its customers for delays or disruptions in the supply of energy.
The occurrence of any of the foregoing circumstances could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA maintains relationships with a large number of customers, 10.6 million electricity customers and 1.6 million gas customers at 31 December 2019 (see Section 2.6 Statistical Appendix to this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA's business activities are carried out in an environment of fierce competition. Although ENDESA's losing individual customers would not have a significant impact on its business as a whole, inability to maintain stable relationships with customers could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Interest rate fluctuations change the fair value of assets and liabilities bearing interest at fixed rates and the future flows from assets and liabilities indexed to variable interest rates. Changes in interest rates could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
At 31 December 2019, gross financial debt amounted to Euros 6,607 million. 70% of gross financial debt before cash flows and fair value hedges accrued interest at a fixed rate, while the remaining 30% was referenced to variable interest. Borrowings at floating interest rates are mainly linked to EURIBOR.
Taking account of cash flow hedges considered effective, 69% of gross financial debt was protected from interest rate risk at 31 December 2019. Taking account of fair value hedges too, this percentage was 69% at 31 December 2019.
Information relating to interest rate risk and an interest rate sensitivity analysis are provided in Note 19.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA is confident that it will be able to generate funds internally (self-financing), access bank financing through long-term credit lines, access short-term capital markets as a source of liquidity and access the long-term debt market in order to finance its organic growth programme and other capital requirements, including its commitments arising from the ongoing maintenance of its current lines. Furthermore, ENDESA occasionally needs to refinance its existing debt. This debt includes long-term credit lines, obtained from banks as well as companies of the ENEL Group, and financial investments.
If ENDESA were to be unable to access capital on reasonable terms, refinance its debt, settle its capital expenses and implement its strategy, the Company could be adversely affected. Turmoil on the capital markets, a possible reduction in ENDESA's creditworthiness or possible restrictions on financing conditions imposed on the credit lines in the event that financial ratios were to deteriorate, could increase the Company's financing costs or adversely affect its ability to access the capital markets.
A lack of financing could force ENDESA to dispose of or sell its assets to offset the liquidity shortfall in order to pay the amounts owed and this sale could occur in circumstances that prevent ENDESA from obtaining the best price for said assets. Therefore, if ENDESA were unable to access financing on acceptable terms, its business, results, financial position and cash flows could be adversely affected.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA had negative working capital of Euros 2,365 million. The undrawn amount under the Company's long-term credit lines provides assurance that ENDESA can obtain sufficient financial resources to continue its operations, realise its assets and settle its liabilities for the amounts shown in the statement of financial position.
The information relating to liquidity risk is included in Note 19.4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 and the information regarding the main transactions carried out by ENDESA is set forth in Section 4.1. Financial Management in this Consolidated Management Report.
Apart from this, the conditions in which ENDESA accesses the capital markets or other means of financing, whether inter-company or on the credit market, are highly dependent on its credit rating, which in turn is dependent on that of its parent company, ENEL. ENDESA's capacity to access the markets and financing could therefore be affected, in part, by the credit and financial position of ENEL, to the extent that ENEL can influence the availability of inter-company financing for ENDESA or the conditions under which the Company accesses the capital market.
In this connection, the deterioration of ENEL's credit rating and, consequently, that of ENDESA, could limit ENDESA's ability to access the capital markets or any other means of financing (or refinancing) from third parties or increase the cost of these transactions which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on ENDESA's ratings is provided in Section 4.3. Management of Credit Rating in this Consolidated Management Report.
In its commercial and financial activities, ENDESA is exposed to the risk that its counterparty may be unable to meet all or some of its obligations, both payment obligations arising from goods already delivered and services already rendered and payment obligations related to expected cash flows, in accordance with the financial derivative contracts entered into, cash deposits or financial assets. In particular, ENDESA assumes the risk that the consumer may not be able to fulfil its payment obligations for the supply of energy, including all transmission and distribution costs.
At 31 December 2019, total customer receivables for sales and services amounted to Euros 2,479 million, of which Euros 624 million were past due, and the value correction for expected loss amounted to Euros 351 million. Additionally, ENDESA assumes the risk of default for all financial assets, which at 31 December 2019 amounted to Euros 2,123 million and for which ENDESA estimates an impairment correction of Euros 47 million.
At 31 December 2019, receivables from the ten largest customers, grouped by business group, accounted for less than 13% of the total, with none of them individually accounting for more than 2.7% of the total at that date (12% and 2.9% respectively at 31 December 2018) (see Note 19.6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will not incur losses as a result of the non-payment of commercial or financial receivables and, therefore, the failure of one or more significant counterparties to fulfil their obligations could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information relating to credit risk is provided in Note 19.5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
c.2. ENDESA's business could be negatively affected by inability to maintain its relations with suppliers or because the supply of suppliers available was insufficient in terms of quantity and/or quality, or due to suppliers' failing to maintain the conditions of service provided, limiting the possibilities of operability and business continuity.
The relationships ENDESA currently maintains with the main industry suppliers and service providers are essential for the development and growth of its business, and will continue to be so in the future. Furthermore, certain of these relationships are and will continue to be managed by ENEL, S.p.A.
ENDESA's dependence on these relationships could affect its ability to negotiate contracts with these parties under favourable conditions. Although ENDESA's supplier portfolio is sufficiently diverse, if any of these relationships is severed or terminated, ENDESA cannot guarantee the replacement of any significant supplier or service provider within an appropriate time frame or on similar terms.
ENDESA makes significant purchases of fuels, materials and services. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that:
If ENDESA is unable to negotiate contracts with its suppliers on favourable terms, if such suppliers are unable to comply with their obligations or if their relationship with ENDESA is severed, and ENDESA is unable to find an appropriate replacement, its business, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
Note 19.6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 provides information on the concentration of customers and suppliers.
The construction of power generation and supply facilities can be time-consuming and highly complex. This means that investment needs to be planned well in advance of the estimated start-up date of the facility and, therefore, decisions may need to be adapted to changes in market conditions. This may entail significant additional costs not originally planned that may affect the return on these types of projects.
In connection with the development of such facilities, ENDESA generally has to obtain the related administrative authorisations and permits, acquire land purchase or lease agreements, sign equipment procurement and construction contracts, operation and maintenance agreements, fuel supply and transport agreements, off-take arrangements and obtain sufficient financing to meet its capital and debt requirements.
The Industrial Plan approved by the Board of ENDESA, S.A. on 26 November 2019 contemplates an investment target, net of subsidies and assets assigned by customers, of Euros 7,700 million between 2019 and 2022.
Factors that may affect ENDESA's ability to construct new facilities include:
Any of these factors may cause delays in completion or commencement of construction projects and may increase the cost of planned projects. In addition, if ENDESA is unable to complete these projects, any costs incurred in connection with such projects might not be recoverable.
If ENDESA faces problems relating to the development and construction of new facilities, its business, results, financial position and cash flows may be adversely affected.
The information relating to investments made in 2019 is included in Notes 6.2 and 8.1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019 and in Section 4.5 Investments of this Consolidated Management Report. Information on ENDESA's investment plan is provided in Section 6.3. Main Financial Indicators in this Consolidated Management Report.
For the development of its activities, ENDESA has a large volume of assets relating to its activities which include, among others:
ENDESA is exposed to risks of breakdowns or accidents that temporarily interrupt the operation of the plants or interrupt the service to customers. To mitigate these risks there are prevention and protection strategies, including predictive and preventive maintenance techniques in line with international best practices.
ENDESA cannot guarantee that during the development of the activities, direct or indirect losses cannot arise from inappropriate internal processes, technological failures, human error or certain external events, such as accidents at facilities, labour disputes and natural disasters. These risks and dangers could cause explosions, floods or other circumstances which could cause the total loss of the energy generation and
distribution facilities; damage to or the deterioration or destruction of ENDESA's facilities or those of third parties, environmental damage; delays in electricity generation and partial or total disruption of the activity. The occurrence of any of these circumstances could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA tries to obtain appropriate insurance cover in relation to the main risks associated with its business, including damages to the Company itself, general civil liability, environmental and nuclear power plant liability, and it is possible that insurance cover may not be available on the market on commercially reasonable terms. Likewise, the amounts for which ENDESA is insured may not be sufficient to cover the incurred losses in their entirety.
In the event of a partial or total loss of ENDESA's facilities or other assets, or a disruption to its activities, the funds ENDESA receives from its insurance may not be sufficient to cover the complete repair or replacement of the assets or losses incurred. Furthermore, in the event of a total or partial loss of ENDESA's facilities or other assets, part of the equipment may not be easily replaced, given its high value or its specific nature, or may not be easily or immediately available.
Similarly, the cover for this equipment or the limits to ENDESA's ability to replace it could disrupt or hinder its operations or significantly delay the course of its ordinary operations. Consequently, all of the above could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Likewise, ENDESA's insurance contracts are subject to constant review by its insurers. It is therefore possible that ENDESA may be unable to maintain its insurance contracts on terms similar to those currently in place in order to meet possible increases to premiums or coverage that becomes inaccessible. If ENDESA is unable to pass on a possible premium increase to its customers, these additional costs may adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
For the development of its activities, ENDESA had a workforce of 9,952 employees at 31 December 2019 (see Section 11.1 Workforce of this Consolidated Management Report). In order for ENDESA to continue maintaining its position in the sector, it needs to guarantee talent management, especially with regard to digital skills.
The qualified labour market is highly competitive and ENDESA may not be able to successfully hire additional qualified staff or to replace outgoing staff with sufficiently qualified or effective employees. ENDESA's inability to retain or recruit essential staff could adversely affect its business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on attracting and retaining talent, training, leadership and development of employees may be found in Section 11. Human Resources in this Consolidated Management Report.
ENDESA considers Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) a priority and a fundamental value to preserve at all times for all who work for the Company, without distinction between its own personnel and that of its partner companies. The inclusion of this target in ENDESA's strategy finds specific expression in:
ENDESA also carries out various annual initiatives in its long-term strategy of continuous improvement of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS).
The information related to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of ENDESA is presented in Section 11.2. Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) of this Consolidated Management Report and is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
The freedom of association of workers is guaranteed in ENDESA and in all contractor companies and suppliers with which it maintains a relationship.
The information related to ENDESA's Social Dialogue is presented in Section 11.8. Social Dialogue in this Consolidated Management Report and is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
Within the scope of ENDESA in Spain, it should be noted that on 23 January 2020, the 5th ENDESA Framework Collective Agreement was signed, which implies that, since that date, a collective labour framework has been available, which adapts the labour regulation to the new requirements of the environment (see Note 38 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Inability to achieve these objectives could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
e.3. ENDESA manages its activities with information technology that uses the highest security and contingency standards according to the state of the art, such that it guarantees operating efficiencies, the protection of personal data as well as the continuity of the businesses, systems and processes which contribute to attaining its corporate objectives.
The use of information technologies in ENDESA is essential for the management of its activity. ENDESA's systems constitute a strategic element of differentiation with respect to the companies in the sector, given the magnitudes of business they handle in terms of technical complexity, volume, granularity, functionality and diversity of logic. Specifically, the main information systems available to ENDESA and the business processes they support are the following:
Management of ENDESA's business activity through these systems is key in order to perform its activity efficiently and achieve its corporate objectives. In constructing and operating these systems, ENDESA incorporates the highest security and contingency standards such that it guarantees operating efficiencies, as well as the continuity of the businesses and processes which contribute to attaining its corporate objectives.
These standards acquire an especially significant role in the process of digital transformation through which ENDESA is going, which leads to a growing exposure to potential cyberattacks, increasingly numerous and complex, and which can compromise the security of its systems, data, including those of a personal nature, affecting the continuity of operations, and consequently the quality in the relationship with its customers and the results, financial situation and cash flows of the organisation.
Security, therefore, has become a global and strategic issue. In this regard, ENDESA has policies, processes, methodologies, tools and protocols based on international standards and government initiatives properly audited. In particular, ENDESA has a cybersecurity performance and management model, promoted by Senior Management and that involves all business areas and the area responsible for the management of computer systems. This model is based on the identification, prioritisation and quantification of existing security risks, taking into account the impact of each system on ENDESA's business, and with the objective of adopting security actions for minimisation and mitigation.
e.4. ENDESA's activities are subject to wide-reaching environmental regulations and its inability to comply with current environmental regulations or requirements or any changes to the environmental regulations or requirements applicable could adversely affect its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.
ENDESA is subject to environmental regulations, which affect both the normal course of its operations and the development of its projects, leading to increased risks and costs. This regulatory framework requires licences, permits and other administrative authorisations be obtained in advance, as well as fulfilment of all the requirements provided for in such licences, permits and authorisations. As in any regulated company, ENDESA cannot guarantee that:
In addition, ENDESA is exposed to environmental risks inherent to its business, including those risks relating to the management of the waste, spills and emissions of the electricity production facilities, particularly nuclear power plants. ENDESA may be held responsible for environmental damage, for harm to employees or third parties, or for other types of damage associated with its energy generation, supply and distribution facilities, as well as port terminal activities.
Although the plants are prepared to comply with the prevailing environmental requirements, ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will be able to comply with the requirements imposed or that it will be able to avoid fines, administrative or other sanctions, or any other penalties and expenses related to compliance matters, including those related to the management of waste, spills and emissions from the electricity production units. Failure to comply with these regulations may give rise to liabilities, as well as fines, damages, sanctions and expenses and even possibly to facility closures. Government authorities may also impose charges or taxes on the parties responsible in order to guarantee obligations are repaid. In the event ENDESA were accused of failing to comply with environmental regulations, its business activities, results, financial position and cash flows could be affected adversely.
In this connection, ENDESA has taken out the following insurance policies:
Also, the nuclear power plants are also insured against damage to their installations (including feedstock) and machinery breakdowns, with maximum coverage of USD 1,500 million (approximately Euros 1,336 million) for each power plant.
On 28 May 2011, the Spanish government published Law 12/2011, of 27 May 2011, on civil liability for nuclear damages or damages produced by radioactive materials, which raises operator liability to Euros 1,200 million and allows coverage of this liability to be ensured in several ways. The entry into force of this regulation is in turn subject to the prior entry into force of the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention on Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (Paris Convention), and the Protocol of 12 February 2004, amending the Convention which complements the latter (Brussels Convention) which, at the date on which this Management Report was drawn up, was pending ratification by some European Union member states.
However, it is possible ENDESA may face third-party damage claims. If ENDESA were to be held liable for damages generated by its facilities for amounts greater than its insurance policy cover or for damages which exceed the scope of the insurance policy's cover, its business, financial position or operating results could be adversely affected.
ENDESA is subject to compliance with the legislation and regulations on emissions of pollutants and on the storage and treatments of waste from fuel from nuclear power plants. It is possible that the Company will be subject to even stricter environmental regulations in the future. In the past, the approval of new regulations has required, and could require in the future, significant capital investment expenditures in order to comply with legal requirements. ENDESA cannot predict the increase in capital investments or the increase in operating costs or other expenses it may have to incur in order to comply with all environmental requirements and regulations. Nor can it predict whether it will be possible to pass on these costs. Thus, the costs associated with compliance with the regulations applicable could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information concerning ENDESA's environmental management systems may be found in Section 10. Environmental Protection in this Consolidated Management Report.
ENDESA is subject to antitrust laws in the markets in which it operates. Infractions of these laws and other applicable regulations, especially in Spain where ENDESA's main market is located, could lead to the initiation of legal proceedings against ENDESA.
Pursuant to Organic Law 5/2010 of 22 June 2010, which amended Organic Law 10/1995 of 23 November 1995 on the Criminal Code incorporating offences applicable to legal persons, subsequently amended by Organic Law 1/2015 of 30 March 2015, ENDESA is subject to criminal liability for certain offences. The Organic Law 1/2019, of 20 February 20, again amended the Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November 1995, of the Criminal Code, to transpose European Union Directives in the financial and terrorism fields, and to
address issues of a nature international. Any violations of these laws could give rise to legal proceedings against ENDESA.
ENDESA has been, is and could be the object of legal investigations and proceedings regarding competition matters. Investigations regarding the infringement of competition and antitrust laws usually last several years and may be subject to rules that prevent the disclosure of information. Furthermore, infringements of these regulations may give rise to fines and other types of sanctions, which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration is provided in Note 16.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA's growth strategy has traditionally included, and continues to include, acquisition transactions which are subject to various competition laws. These regulations may affect ENDESA's ability to carry out strategic transactions (see Section 2.5. Scope of Consolidation in this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA is party to various ongoing legal proceedings related to its business activities, including tax, regulatory and antitrust disputes. It is also subject to ongoing or possible tax audits. In general, ENDESA is exposed to third-party claims from all jurisdictions (criminal, civil, commercial, labour and economicadministrative) and in national and international arbitration proceedings.
ENDESA makes its best estimate to provide its provisions for legal contingencies, provided that the need to meet this obligation is probable and its amount can be reasonably quantified.
No guarantee can be given that ENDESA has allocated adequate provisions for contingencies, that it will be successful in the proceedings in which it expects a positive outcome, or that an unfavourable decision will not adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows. Furthermore, the Company cannot give any assurance that it will not be the object of new legal proceedings in the future, which, if the outcome were unfavourable, would have an adverse effect on its business activities, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Information on litigation and arbitration is provided in Note 16.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
Currently, the tax risks to be managed and controlled are those deriving from uncertainties caused either by the possibility of the Tax Authorities demanding amounts in addition to those that ENDESA considers due (either due to failure to file returns or to a different interpretation of the applicable regulations) or by incorrect perception or assessment by third parties of events of a tax nature that are erroneously or unfairly attributed to the Company.
In 2019, ENDESA's total tax contribution amounted to Euros 4,113 million, of which 41% corresponded to taxes incurred that represented a cost to ENDESA and 59% referred to taxes collected by ENDESA in carrying out its economic activity. Spain was the jurisdiction where ENDESA contributed most to the payment of taxes, representing more than 92% of the total taxes paid and collected in 2019.
The information regarding ENDESA's tax contribution is detailed in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
With reference to ENDESA's situation framework regarding tax risks, it is worth highlighting:
The periods open for review by the relevant Tax Authorities and Inspections for the period and their effects (see Note 3n to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019); and
The significant tax disputes that are likely to generate a contingency (see Note 16.3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
ENDESA mitigates the occurrence of these risks through:
In spite of this firm commitment, any change in the interpretation of the tax regulations by the Tax Administration or the Administrative or Judicial Courts may have an impact on the fulfilment of ENDESA's tax obligations, being capable of affecting its financial situation and its cash flows.
Since 2010, ENDESA has filed consolidated tax returns for income tax purposes, as part of consolidated tax group no. 572/10, the parent of which is ENEL, S.p.A., ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. being its representative in Spain. Likewise, since January 2010, ENDESA has formed part of the Spanish consolidated VAT group no. 45/10, the Parent of which is ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. Until 2009, ENDESA filed consolidated tax returns as the Parent under group no. 42/1998 for income tax and under group no. 145/08 for VAT.
Also, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE), a wholly-owned ENDESA subsidiary, paid tax between 2010 and 2016 as a consolidated member of Group number 574/10 of which ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) was the Parent. From 1 January 2017, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) paid taxes as part of tax group number 572/10 of which ENEL, S.p.A. is the Parent and ENEL Iberia, S.L.U. is the representative in Spain.
After ENDESA took control of Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., in which, at 31 December 2019, it held a 96.3% share of the capital, the Consolidated Tax Group number 21/02 was incorporated, consisting of the following three companies: Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. (as the parent company and representative of the Consolidated Fiscal Group), Energía Ceuta XXI Comercializadora de Referencia, S.A.U. and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta Distribución, S.A.U.
In accordance with the regime for filing consolidated tax returns for purposes of income tax and VAT for company groups, all of the Group companies that file consolidated tax returns are jointly responsible for paying the Group's tax charge. This includes certain sanctions arising from failure to comply with specific obligations imposed under the VAT regime for company groups.
As a result of this, ENDESA is jointly responsible for paying the tax charge of the other members of the consolidated tax Groups to which it belongs or has belonged for all tax periods still open for review. ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) is so responsible for the other members of the Tax Consolidation Group to which it has belonged and Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A. with respect to its.
Even though ENDESA, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., as the case may be, has the right of recourse against the other members of the corresponding tax consolidated group, any of them could be held jointly and severally liable if any outstanding tax charge were to arise which had not been duly settled by another member of the consolidated tax Groups of which ENDESA, ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) or Empresa de Alumbrado Eléctrico de Ceuta, S.A., as the case may be, forms or has formed part. Any material tax liability could adversely affect ENDESA's business activities, results, financial position and cash flows.

At 31 December 2019, the ENEL Group, through ENEL Iberia, S.L.U., held 70.101% of ENDESA, S.A.'s share capital and voting rights, enabling it to appoint the majority of ENDESA, S.A.'s Board members and, therefore, to control management of the business and its management policies.
The ENEL Group's interests may differ from those of ENDESA or of ENDESA's other shareholders. Furthermore, both the ENEL Group and ENDESA compete in the European electricity market. It not possible to give any assurance that the interests of the ENEL Group will coincide with the interests of ENDESA's other shareholders or that the ENEL Group will act in support of ENDESA's interests.
Information on balances and transactions with related parties is provided in Note 34 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA is exposed to the opinion and perception projected to different interest groups. This perception could deteriorate as a result of events produced by the Company or third parties over which it has little or no control. Should this occur, this could lead to economic damage to the Company due, among other factors, to increased requirements on the part of regulators, higher borrowing costs or increased efforts to attract customers.
Although ENDESA actively works to identify and monitor potential reputational events and interest groups affected, and transparency forms part of its communications policy, there is no guarantee that it will not suffer impairment of its image or reputation which, if resolved unfavourably, will have an adverse effect on its business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
Furthermore, ENDESA cannot guarantee that it will maintain solid relationships and ongoing communication with consumers and users and with the associations that represent them and, therefore, any change in these relationships could entail negative publicity and a significant loss of customers, which could adversely affect ENDESA's business, results, financial position and cash flows.
Maintaining a leadership position and strengthening it for the future involves a balanced fulfilment of ENDESA's responsibilities in economic, social and environmental matters, based on ethical criteria.
Accordingly, ENDESA's sustainability policy aims to formalise and specify the company's commitment to Sustainable Development, as evidenced by its Open Power strategic positioning and to achieve the creation of shared value, ensuring that the activity that it carries out has a positive impact on the communities in which it operates, as the best way of guaranteeing returns for its shareholders in the short, medium and long term.
To this end, the sustainability policy establishes nine future commitments:
The commitments set out in the Sustainability Policy constitute the basis and guidelines for ENDESA's conduct in the promotion of a sustainable business model. Compliance with the policy is expressly driven by Senior Management; it concerns employees, contractors and suppliers, and it is evaluated by third parties:
ENDESA is committed to the application of responsible communication practices as its principal vehicle for conveying the strength and solidity of its commitment to sustainable development to its various stakeholder groups.
For ENDESA, sustainability plays a central role when defining the direction of the business, and in order to integrate it with the management of the business and the decision-making processes, there must be maximum alignment between the business strategy and the sustainability strategy, so that both are aimed at the attainment of the same objective and provide mutual feedback to achieve it, thereby generating economic value for the Company in the short and long-term.
ENDESA's materiality analysis informs the strategic reflection that defines the Industrial Plan and therefore ENDESA's Sustainability Plan for 2020-2022, through more than 100 quantitative management objectives, responds to each of the priorities and strategic pillars identified, with an overall compliance of 92%.
As part of its commitment to transparency and in the interest of building trust with its stakeholder groups, ENDESA duly renders account of its achievement of the objectives and actions included in its Sustainability Plan for 2019-2021 in the Statement of Non-Financial Information (see Appendix II to this Consolidated Management Report) and in the 2019 Sustainability Report.
On 25 September 2015, the United Nations (UN) approved the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development for countries and their societies to be able jointly to solve the critical problems facing mankind. The Agenda has 17 Goals and 169 targets to be achieved by 2030. ENDESA collaborated in the drawing up of this Agenda and is firmly committed to it. In this regard it recognises the historic opportunity represented by the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and the involvement of the private sector to overcome the main challenges that society faces, from the fight against climate change to the eradication of poverty and the assurance of economic and social progress. This vision is shared within the entire ENEL Group.
ENDESA, for its part, assumes these commitments and adapts them to the context in which it operates. Thus, since announcing its specific contribution to the 2030 Agenda in 2016, it has continued to make progress with respect to its commitment to six goals, four of which directly affect its own business model:
In addition, ENDESA contributes to the commitments assumed by its parent company in relation to SDG 4 (Quality Education), for which ENDESA has made a public commitment to reach 700,000 beneficiaries in the period 2015-2030, and SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth) for which it has made a public commitment to reach 1,700,000 beneficiaries in the same period through the social initiatives carried out.
However, although these are the highest priority Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) for ENDESA and therefore those for which it makes public commitments and on which it will place greatest emphasis in the coming years, the 2020-2022 Sustainability Plan incorporates objectives and lines of action that will allow the Company to contribute to the achievement of all the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

(4) Includes projects aimed at improving the well-being of people and communities, maintaining their cultural identity, preserving their heritage, improving the environment and local biodiversity, sports, promoting healthy habits and supporting the coverage of basic needs.
The Energy Sector is in the midst of important changes, which will intensify in the future due to the growing environmental awareness of governments and customers. ENDESA is aware that the objectives for reducing emissions and increasing efficiency are necessary, requiring an additional effort on its part in order to achieve them.
In this context, the goal of ENDESA's research, development and innovation (R&D+i) activities is to create a new, more sustainable energy model based on efficient electrification of energy demand thanks to the development, testing and application of new technologies and new business models.
ENDESA's research, development and innovation (R&D+i) activities, are developed in coordination with the rest of the ENEL Group, with joint research activities being undertaken in the areas of shared interest and in the markets in which both operate.
Gross direct investment in Research, Development and Innovation (R&D+i) in 2019 amounted to Euros 19 million, distributed as follows:

(1) EBITDA = Income - Procurements and services + Self-constructed assets - Personnel expenses - Other fixed operating expenses.
(2) EBIT = EBITDA – Depreciation and Amortisation, and Impairment Losses.
ENDESA's research, development and innovation (R&D+i) activities are based on a commitment to sustainability, and therefore technology projects are developed aimed at creating value, fostering a culture of innovation and building competitive advantages in the area of sustainability.
ENDESA's develops innovation projects across all its business lines. The following details the areas of activity, their future guidelines, and certain of the most relevant projects currently under way.
Guidelines: Decarbonisation, increase in the level of digitalisation of plants, reduction of environmental impact, increase in efficiency and greater flexibility of conventional plants to optimise their operation, energy storage and improvement of the safety of people and facilities.
o "Brains": Development of an artificial vision system for the detection of unsafe behaviours in industrial plants and areas under construction.
Guidelines: Strengthen security of supply, improve service quality and respond to future customer demands through the development of smart grids, remote management and grid automation.

The objective is the collaboration with universities in the holding of seminars, conferences, end-ofcourse projects and doctoral theses, research in the Electrical Sector and studies of safety and efficiency, storage systems, energy recovery, etc.
Currently there are chairs with the following universities:
Guidelines: Test the latest trends in relationships with customers and stakeholder groups in the field based on technological advances. Identify areas for improvement and define operation processes.
Council of Malaga and the support of the University of Malaga, but once the viability is confirmed, the intention is to extend it to other municipalities throughout Spain.
Guidelines: Test the latest technologies in the field, define performance, identify areas of improvement and define operating processes.
Guidelines: For ENDESA, which has a clear commitment to the energy transition and decarbonisation, electric mobility represents one of the fundamental pillars. In this regard, ENDESA X, S.A.U. promotes the development of the electric vehicle as one of the main avenues for the fight against climate change and promotes electric mobility as an instrument to facilitate a zero emission energy model.
Through ENDESA X, S.A.U., taking advantage of the advances in electric mobility already made by ENDESA and ENEL X's experience in this business, new opportunities are being promoted such as advanced energy solutions, flexibility services and demand management.
ENDESA, through its e-city division, has a complete proposal for the Public Administration to provide the best service to citizens, consisting of advice, installation, recharging infrastructure, maintenance, etc. All this managed from a control centre with monitoring so that the service is always available.
Among the projects developed in 2019 by the e-city division, the e-bus Recharge Project stands out: ENDESA has installed 2 new ultra-fast charging units using a pantograph for the Barcelona Bus network. The objective is to ensure that the 22 TMB (Barcelona Metropolitan Transport) electric buses serving the H16 route are kept charged so as to deliver excellent service to passengers.
The main actions carried out in 2019 focused on the detection of improvable aspects in Occupational Health and Safety (OHS), as well as in work teams and facilities:
ENDESA has an open innovation model aimed at finding quality ideas to develop innovative solutions to transform the current energy model. Open innovation is a new model used by companies to relate to external players (universities, start-ups, research centres and other companies in the same or a different sector) to promote collaboration and the sharing of knowledge.
ENDESA's research, development and innovation (R+D+i) activities are carried out in close collaboration and cooperation with the rest of the ENEL Group, taking advantage both of the Group's research centres and the best research centres, universities, suppliers and emerging national and international companies.
The following is a summary of ENDESA's innovation model:
ENDESA owns various patents registered in Spain and/or the European Union and/or in other non-European countries. If appropriate, certain patents are transferred to ENEL Group companies with a licence for their use and, occasionally, they are sub-licensed to third parties.
At 31 December 2019, ENDESA had 12 patents in Spain.
ENDESA, which considers environmental excellence as a fundamental value of its business culture, has recently updated its environmental policy, the first version of which dates from 1998, adapting it to the current context and the demands of its commitment to fighting global warming.
ENDESA carries on its activities respecting the environment and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, and is firmly committed to the conservation and sustainable use of resources in line with the principles of the circular economy.
In fulfilling its environmental commitments, ENDESA identifies, evaluates and manages the environmental aspects and impacts deriving from its activities, striving to minimise the negative and maximise the positive effects by applying the following basic principles of action, which constitute the foundations of its environmental policy:

As an indicator resulting from all these efforts, during 2019 ENDESA received only 1 sanctions in respect of environmental matters.

ENDESA's environmental management systems are widely implemented throughout all its business lines.
The businesses are monitored at an environmental level by environmental management systems and indicators through which they are implemented. The indicators include the facilities' environmental impact
(atmospheric emissions, water consumption, conventional pollutants in effluents, waste, etc.) and enable compliance with all existing legal obligations regarding environmental matters in relation to the business operations to be verified, as well as alignment with the path laid out by ENDESA to evaluate the degree to which the strategic objectives and goals defined.
ENDESA made further progress in the development of its environmental management in 2019, both in terms of certification, integrated environmental permits and environmental impact studies; measures were also implemented to improve the collection process and quality of the information submitted by the different areas.
The certified environmental management system is the foundation upon which all management systems are integrated, depending on the business and the type of facilities, in an effort to complete and take advantage of the synergies these systems provide with respect to comprehensive management and additional reference to the International Standardisation Organisation (ISO) and/or the "UNE" Spanish standards. In this connection, it is worth pointing out the EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) rules for thermal power plants and port terminals, the quality systems (ISO 9001) for thermal plants, renewable generation plants and laboratories, the energy efficiency management systems (ISO 50001) and the interior environmental quality certification ("UNE 171330-3") for office buildings.
At 31 December 2019, 100% of the generation facilities, port terminals and all distribution business were certified to the ISO 14001 standard. With regard to office buildings, the Company has been awarded Energy Efficiency System (ISO 50001) and Environmental Management System (ISO 14001) certificates at 11 of its offices in Spain, and 7 of them also hold certificates for Indoor Air Quality ("UNE 171330-3"). It has also maintained its certification under ISO 14001 for the gas and electricity supply activity through personalised management and has obtained ISO 14001 certification for the activity of technical and economic management of products and services related to energy and to the electric vehicles infrastructure plan.
To comply with the obligations deriving from the Spanish Environmental Responsibility Law, ENDESA has developed the MIRAT Project, based on a methodology developed at sector level and approved by the Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge, the objective of which is to establish the mandatory financial guarantee required by this Law for conventional thermal and combined cycle power plants with a thermal capacity of more than 50 MW through an environmental risk analysis. In view of the results of the environmental risk analyses of all thermal and combined cycle power plants, the corresponding formal statements were submitted to the Administration.
Additionally, in 2019 the implementation of a new methodology of "Assessment of Environmental Aspects, Impacts and Risks" began, which is applicable to all ENDESA businesses. Starting from the result of the evaluation of the significance of environmental aspects (as defined in the Environmental Management Systems corresponding to each business), the methodology incorporates the consideration of other aspects of an organisational, strategic, economic, reputational nature, etc. associated with the activity and infrastructure of the businesses. Legal compliance is also evaluated, as well as the effectiveness of the operational controls (technical, documentary, etc.) implemented, so that a "Residual Risk" assessment is finally obtained. The different levels of resulting final risk determine the obligation to launch specific action plans to mitigate the associated environmental risks. The results of this evaluation allow the levels of environmental risk resulting among different facilities, businesses, etc. to be compared.
Finally, annually and within the framework of Environmental Management Systems, according to the requirement of ISO 14001: 2015, each business carries out an identification and evaluation of environmental aspects and an identification and evaluation of risks and opportunities. The former seeks to identify the environmental aspects associated with the activities that it carries out, evaluate the significance of the environmental aspects identified and determine which environmental aspects generate or might generate significant environmental impacts in order to give them adequate treatment and control. The latter aims to define the methodology for the identification, evaluation and management of risks and opportunities within the activity that will ensure that the expected results are achieved by mitigating the identified risks and enhancing the opportunities; in short, that continuous improvement is achieved.
Lastly, it is appropriate to point out that in its commitment to protecting the environment, ENDESA feels obliged to eliminate environmental liabilities, and, therefore, each facility identifies these liabilities and addresses them within the framework of their environmental management programmes, which may be reflected in their elimination, disposal or reuse.
ENDESA calculates its environmental footprint using a methodology based on the most relevant international references, including the guidelines developed by the European Union to calculate the environmental footprint of its organisations and products.
ENDESA has an exhaustive control system for all its emissions to control them in real time and ensure compliance with emission limit values at all times. For this, it carries out an exhaustive control and maintenance of the chimney measurement equipment, and submits them to annual inspections carried out by external accredited laboratories. ENDESA meets the parameters required by the regulations applicable, implements technology to minimise emissions, and applies corrective measures to the impacts generated.
Between 2008 and 2015, when the National Emissions Reduction Plan was carried out for major combustion facilities, ENDESA made great strides at its facilities to reduce atmospheric emissions of the main conventional pollutants (sulphur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NOx) and particles). Up to 2015 this brought about a reduction of 87% in emissions of SO2, 62% in NOx and 83% in particles compared with the base year 2006.
The transposition of EU Directive 2010/75/EU, of 24 November 2010, on industrial emissions into Spanish law through Law 5/2013 of 11 June 2013, and Royal Decree 815/2013 of 18 October 2013, introduced new and stricter environmental restrictions in the area of pollutant emissions. In particular, existing facilities must comply with new requirements and comply with the emission limit values on the expiration date of each of the transition mechanisms.
All mainland coal-fired plants subscribed to the National Transitory Plan (NTP), which establishes maximum annual emission thresholds for a gradual reduction of emissions between 2016 and mid-2020. For the ENDESA subscribing to the NTP this progressive reduction in emissions meant a reduction of more than 50% for sulphur dioxide (SO2) and nitrogen oxide (NOx) and approximately 40% for particles between 2016 and 2020.
This mechanism, the National Transitory Plan (NTP), if anything entailed even more stringent requirements and a greater commitment to reduce the current emissions by ENDESA's major thermal power plants. With the National Transitory Plan (NTP), now almost at an end, ENDESA's facilities under it have always respected the ceilings imposed.
Similarly, within the scope of the new mechanisms established by the regulations on industrial emissions, the island facilities affected by Directive 2010/75/EU of 24 November 2010, subscribed to the Small Isolated Network Mechanism, through which the application of the Emission Limit Values was extended until 31 December 2019. At the date of preparation of this Consolidated Management Report, the facilities are already adapted to comply with the Emission Limit Values of the Industrial Emissions Directive (IED).
In 2017 the Best Reference (BREF) document for Large Combustion Plants was approved ("Commission Implementing Decision (EU) 2017/1442 of 31 July 2017 establishing best available techniques (BAT) conclusions, under Directive 2010/75/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council, for large combustion plants"), and involves the review and adaptation of the integrated environmental authorisations in all thermal plants in a maximum of four years in order to deploy and adopt the best environmental management and performance techniques available.
ENDESA has identified water as a critical resource that will be affected by climate change and the integrated management of water is one of its major concerns. The main tasks in this area entail improvements to consumption efficiency, water quality by controlling dumping and waste water and reservoir management, with an assessment of ecological potential for bird life, control of invasive species and preventing dry-up in regulated rivers.
ENDESA has procedures to control and reduce water dumping and to boost quality, mainly by means of waste water treatment facilities, and conducts regular analyses to pinpoint instances of water stress at its facilities.
Note that 99% of the water collected by ENDESA for use in its facilities is returned to the environment. In 2019 water consumption of the facilities located in an area of water scarcity has been 26,726 m3 .
ENDESA has environmental management systems in place that include specific operating procedures for the management of waste produced by all its activities, which are continuously reviewed to detect and drive improvements. Waste-reduction measures focus on reusing oil, removing transformers contaminated with PCB (polychlorophenols), gradually removing components containing asbestos, recovering inert waste, and treating cleaning solvents for reuse.
In 2019, a significant portion of the waste recovered by ENDESA derived from its external facilities, representing 90% of its total non-hazardous waste and 67% of its total hazardous waste in Spain and Portugal.
ENDESA recovers ash and slag waste generated by its coal-fired plants, located mainly in Spain and Portugal, as a raw material for other industrial uses.
At the end of 2019, the Biodiversity Conservation Plan had 26 courses of action under way, of which 21 were launched in previous years (5 of them ended in 2019, and 16 are still in progress) and 5 new courses of action were begun last year. A breakdown of locations shows that 61.5% of them were carried out in areas affected by ENDESA's facilities and 20% were research projects which, in the majority of cases included the publication of articles and scientific papers.
These actions took place throughout Spain and Portugal and included many of ENDESA's business lines. Specifically, generation accounted for 38% of the activities, distribution 35% and the remaining 27% were in the corporate area.
The Biodiversity Conservation Plan's objectives for 2019 remain on the same main action lines as in previous years:
a) Studies and research.
In 2019, various studies were carried out, including:
In 2019, ENDESA carried out initiatives to protect bird life in the main geographical areas in which it has power lines. The aim of these measures is to reduce or eliminate the risk of collision and electrocution among bird life by providing supports on high voltage lines and the addition of insulation or signalling on lines that could pose a threat.
Also noteworthy are the recovery projects for some endangered species, including the European rattle in the surroundings of the Aiguamolls de l'Empordà Natural Park, the black vulture in the Tajo International Natural Park (which was ENDESA's first cross-border project), and in the Pyrenees and foothills, the osprey in the province of Cádiz and Bonelli's eagle in the Lower Ebro (Tarragona).
ENDESA has developed and applied technologies to protect bird life against collisions with low and medium voltage power lines. This project is also a continuation of the one started in previous years, and during 2019 criteria of durability and ease of installation have been integrated into the design.
c) Social-environmental projects
As part of its Biodiversity Conservation Plan ENDESA carries out projects with a strong socioenvironmental component. These include:
ENDESA promotes dissemination and knowledge of biodiversity through active participation in technical and scientific forums, as well as through the publication of studies and articles. Training and dissemination activities are also carried out to raise awareness of the projects developed by the Company.
ENDESA participates in other initiatives in the area of biodiversity and sustainability such as the Biodiversity Pact, and is an active member of the Spanish Business and Biodiversity Initiative (IEEB).
In 2019, the study of the biodiversity of restored mining areas of ENDESA continued, repeating the sampling in the restored area that in 2019 continued to be owned by ENDESA: Corta Ballesta Este, In Peñarroya (Córdoba). Also during the year the conclusions on the presence of vertebrate fauna in Puertollano were obtained, which allowed the number of species registered to be updated. The final results of Corta Ballesta will be obtained during 2020.
The objective of the study was to analyse the recovery of biodiversity in restored mining areas, and raise awareness of the ecosystems resulting from the environmental recovery of open air mines; to monitor its status, development and integration in the countryside and the terrain, collect data relating to its colonisation by species of flora and fauna, with a special focus on any that are protected, and to generally unlock their value.

By gender, at 31 December 2019, 76% of ENDESA's workforce were male, and 24% were female.
Information on ENDESA's workforce is provided in Note 37 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019.
ENDESA's commitment to Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is detailed in Section 7. Main Risks and Uncertainties in connection with ENDESA's Business in this Consolidated Management Report).
The activities carried out in 2019 within the framework of its long-term strategy of continuous improvement of the level of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) revolved fundamentally around the axes of:
To ensure that all operations are performed safely, ENDESA has implemented a company-wide safety inspection programme. Inspections are performed partly by the company's own personnel and party through collaborating entities that have previously been trained in ENDESA's work procedures, actions or behaviours that are not considered acceptable from the standpoint of risk prevention.
The main activities performed by ENDESA in 2019 were based on the action plan to prevent accidents, and on contractors. Accordingly, audits were carried out at contractors.
During 2019 ENDESA provided training on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) for its own personnel and performed safety inspections of works and projects being carried out by both its own workers and those of contractors, contributing significantly to the reduction of workplace accidents. It also carried out activities such as Safety Walks and Extra Checking On Site (ECoS) with visits by experts from various countries to a centre to share best preventive practices.
The Workplace Risk Prevention Management system requires any accident that occurs in the Company to be investigated. For serious, fatal or significant accidents (including accidents involving electricity or working at height) an investigation committee must be set up to analyse the event in detail, using "Root Cause Analysis" methodology. Further, for any significant accident, once the causes have been clarified and the preventive measures to be implemented have been specified, a "Lessons Learned" report is prepared to raise awareness across the rest of the organisation of the measures being undertaken to prevent such accidents for happening again.

ENDESA is committed to a sustainable approach to people management, promoting good practices in hiring, remuneration, labour relations, training, selection, etc. and with initiatives that favour a healthy and safe work environment and promote well-being, work-life balance, equal opportunities, diversity and inclusion.
These actions, in addition to ensuring the welfare of our human capital, seek to promote the Company's values (responsibility, innovation, proactiveness and trust) and cultural transformation initiatives such as the "Cambiamos" ("We change") project, which among its objectives aims to define a communication strategy with a markedly emotional character in order to convey to ENDESA employees the process of transformation that the Company is going through, the solvency and solidity of its Strategic Plan for getting through this process; the commitment to sustainability and climate change as a purpose of ENDESA; and employees' initiative as an engine of change.
(3) Number of safety visits to facilities and work centres by Management, accompanied by prevention technicians, to check the state of the facilities, compliance with OHS standards and workers' due regard for health and safety in their behaviour.
Along these lines, in 2019, ENDESA worked in each of the following dimensions, developing various activities as described below:
As part of its policy of Diversion and Inclusion, ENDESA rejects all forms of discrimination and undertakes to guarantee and promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities in all dimensions covered by the policy (gender, age, disability and nationality, etc.).
a) Gender.
In 2019 ENDESA implemented the actions foreseen in the agreement signed with the Ministry of Equality in the areas of selection, promotion and work-life balance, among others. In this regard, continuous support is given to initiatives such as "Take the Lead" and "Women Mentoring" to promote female leadership and empower women to occupy positions of responsibility, and long-term initiatives are promoted to achieve a greater female presence in technical profiles, with programmes such as "Dismantling Stereotypes" in the classrooms, and the "Orienta-T" programme in which we work with teachers and children from 10 to 14 years old to dismantle gender stereotypes and promote technological vocations for girls
In addition, ENDESA annually carries out the exercise of designing the Succession Plan for those positions with strategic responsibility in the organisation. Among the established criteria that must be met for the identification of possible successors is gender diversity. This means that at least one of the proposed successors for each position must be female.
Also in line with the gender diversity strategy, women have been trained in middle management positions to improve their leadership skills and encourage promotions without gender bias.
Additionally, ENDESA has voluntary agreements with the Ministry of Equality, notably the "More women, better companies" and "For a society free of gender-based violence" initiatives, and has been awarded the "Equality in the Company" distinction.
At 31 December 2019, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. consisted of 11 Directors, 9 men and 2 women.
b) Age:
ENDESA works on the recognition and management of differences between generations, ensuring integration, motivation and knowledge transfer. To this end, during 2019 actions were carried out such as a mentoring programme aimed at young people who have just joined the Company; and Programmes aimed at valuing senior talent through knowledge transfer initiatives and recognition of their experience, such as: "Our highest values", an initiative aimed at employees over 55 years of age with exceptional contribution to their professional career, who receive recognition from the organisation, their direct manager and their peers, in the form of participation in experiential or business activities.
c) Disability.
ENDESA develops actions in the field of integration of people with disabilities, collaborating with foundations working to this end. These actions find expression both in projects that favour the employment of this group and in services that support employees with disabilities (79 employees with disabilities at 31 December 2019), and relatives of employees with disabilities (76 family members with disabilities during 2019):
With the Prevent Foundation and the Universia Foundation: Support was given to various scholarship programmes for the training of students with disabilities.
In addition to collaboration with foundations, ENDESA has identified a reference person who is responsible for centralising all issues and serving both managers and employees on this subject.
d) Nationality:
ENDESA is committed to the recognition, respect and integration of people with different nationalities working in the Company. Within this framework, a mentor from the host country is assigned to help expatriates in their integration, both personal and professional.
To give visibility to all the above actions, we continued to hold "Diversity Days" in 2019. A total of five participatory activities were carried out in the cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and Zaragoza, with the aim of raising the awareness of the workforce in the four dimensions of the Diversity and Inclusion Policy.
ENDESA continued to promote several lines of action that consolidate the culture of flexible work and that favour the reconciliation between the professional and personal life of all workers, men and women, promoting co-responsibility.
In this regard, there are several measures under way, among which is the "Remote Working" initiative. This initiative is designed to help achieve work-life balance, in addition to promoting flexibility and autonomy in choosing where, when and how to work. It promotes greater trust between manager and employees as well as responsibility for results. In total, 2,399 employees (1,183 women and 1,216 men) took part in this initiative in 2019. In addition to "Work Outside the Office", there is the possibility of adapting the working day to the needs of the employee, through time flexibility, the temporary change of working hours, the reduction of the working day, unpaid leave for taking care of family members, paid leave and unpaid absences, all measures that help to find a balance between the personal needs of employees and their aspirations for professional growth.
In addition to flexible work measures, and in line with co-responsibility, ENDESA develops parental programmes aimed at balancing the needs of people as parents and their aspirations for professional growth. These consist of a series of structured interviews between employees, their managers and the "Business Partners", before and after the maternity/paternity experience to increase their value, both for the worker and for the Company.
The main objectives pursued by this initiative are the following:
As a complement to this programme, ENDESA continues to make available to its employees the online educational platform "Managing children" in which more than 40 education experts collaborate. The objective of the initiative is to support mothers and fathers in the work of educating their children.
ENDESA encourages corporate volunteer work and cooperates on numerous social development projects with the involvement of its employees. Corporate volunteers are a catalyst for other initiatives and bring the Company closer to its stakeholders, fostering the development and commitment of the participants. Further, it reflects a commitment to the development of the communities in which it operates, contributing to activities that raise interest in the Company and its stakeholders. The most outstanding volunteer projects deal with facilitating access to energy, helping vulnerable groups, promoting employability, and improving the environment.
In 2019, 14 volunteering projects were developed, involving 277 volunteers during working hours and 19 afterhours. Of the total of 296 volunteers, 12 have collaborated in both modalities. These projects involved a total contribution of 2,094 hours during working hours and 140 hours after-hours.
Over 6,900 people benefited from these initiatives in 2019.
During 2019 action plans were implemented in various areas of the Company and at all levels, with the aim of increasing employees' motivation, well-being and commitment to the organisation.
The initiatives forming part of these plans aim to leverage ENDESA's strengths to address the areas of improvement identified. A large number of these were aimed at further improving management skills in environments that are increasingly flexible and diverse. Another important group of measures was aimed at encouraging employee participation in decision-making on projects and processes, developing the values of trust, proactiveness, responsibility and innovation on which ENDESA bases its management model.
Notable examples of actions included in these plans included:
Workplace action plans were regularly monitored to ensure that they conformed to the planning and targets set for 2019.
ENDESA constantly strives to identify and develop the potential of its employees, so that their performance can help make the Company a benchmark within the sector. From this standpoint, talent management ensures personal development on merit and their contribution.
ENDESA's leadership model is based on the Company's vision, mission, values and codes of conduct. The "Open Power" values (Responsibility, Innovation, Trust and Proactiveness) are present in all people management processes.
ENDESA has carried out various professional development actions adapted to the specific needs of each business, such as the following: Highlights:
"Coaching": More than 250 people have benefited from this type of individual or group action, carried out through the in-house coaching network of over 35 in-house coaches. This coaching team is one areas where ENDESA is seen as an example to follow by other IBEX-35 companies. In 2019 ENDESA was awarded First Prize for "Culture of Coaching in the Company" by the Spanish Association of Executive and Organisational Coaching (AECOP) for its work promoting the personal and professional development of people in the Company through coaching.
In 2019 and 2018, the KPIs relating to evaluation of performance and objectives evolved as indicated hereunder:
Percentage (%)
| Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Employees with Variable Remuneration Linked to Evaluation by Objectives (1) | 32.6 | 32.2 |
| Employees Involved in Performance Evaluation (2) | 84.8 | 87.4 |
(1) Employees with a variable component of their salary linked to the achievement of the objectives of the Company.
(2) Employees participating in the evaluation of behaviours and/or values of the company through the "Open Feedback" (OF) tool.
ENDESA offers its employees 360º training in order to equip and improve the technical qualifications they need to perform their duties, and to encourage the growth of attitudes and skills for their personal development. This offer is aimed at achieving compliance with the Company's strategic objectives and at promoting its values.
To undertake this activity, ENDESA invested Euros 34 million, Euros 13 million of which were for direct training costs.
In 2019, ENDESA held 2,198 training sessions, in which 9,060 employees took part. 402,953 training hours were given, with an average of 40.5 hours per employee.
ENDESA's commitment to compliance with legislation in force concerning each and every area in which it operates entails a large number of training activities - safety, criminal risk prevention, sustainability and the environment.
With regard to occupational health and safety (OHS), the workplace risk prevention courses are compulsory for all employees, and consist of both online methodologies and classroom sessions depending on contents and the target audience. Specific courses of action are carried out for positions with specific levels of responsibility in relation to prevention, such as: the Prevention Representatives, Prevention Resources and members of emergency teams. Courses and recycling workshops are used to update knowledge of regulations and also of ENDESA's own procedures.
ENDESA, in its commitment to the digitalisation of processes and in line with its safety strategy, has incorporated virtual reality into its training on Occupational Health and Safety (OHS). In 2019 it launched the "VIVES" (Virtual, Immersive, Vision, ENDESA, Safety) training programme, which brings together innovation and safety.
Commitment to sustainable development is an essential part of ENDESA's activity. Therefore, training in this area is important, with the design, development and implementation of courses aimed at making sure that ENDESA employees take on board the sustainability principles in their private and professional activities, and by changing their energy behaviour become examples for society to follow.
Environmental training was further strengthened in 2019 with around 2,075 hours of class provided to ENDESA employees. With this training, the Company complied with requirements for renewal of its different ISO 14001, energy efficiency and Integrated Environmental, Energy Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality Management System certificates.
The "Raising Environmental Awareness" online course, available to all employees, has been updated; it reviews the progress made by people in their relationship with the environment and, in particular, the nature of ENDESA's relationship with and commitment to the environment.
In 2019, the online program "Environmental aspects in Infrastructure and Networks" was added to the training catalogue. Although it is aimed at people in the distribution business area, it is available to all employees.
Training on digital transformation was an important chapter in 2019, with 22,559 hours taught.
In 2019 we launched the "Digital Routines in 21 days" programme (R21D), the aim of which is to promote good digital practices so as to be able to incorporate new routines every 21 days). This is an online training course with practical tips and tricks to get more out of digital tools, both in personal and collaborative use: short videos between 2 and 4 minutes long with clear and concise indications on how to become digital in 21 days.
Also in 2019 the range of courses on digitalisation was expanded, with the addition in particular of courses on data management, programming and modelling; "Salesforce"; "Business Analytics"; "Digital Marketing" and "Social Media Management".
Through its courses in management, social and leadership skills, ENDESA provides employees with tools to ensure their personal and professional development. These courses are managed transversally among different Lines of Business Lines and Support Areas. In 2019, 141,815 hours of skills management programmes were provided.
Training in agile methodologies has been a key part of the company's goal of implementing agile management methods. In 2019 the "Let's talk about Agile" programme was launched. Intended for all employees, the idea is for them to learn about the components of the agile method and how it works, and also the reasons and basic considerations for implementing the standard agility model and starting to work in accordance with this methodology. With a focus on this methodology, technical training on the different agile roles and project management has been incorporated into the training catalogue.
In 2019, a new training programme was incorporated on new work methodologies, called "New Ways of Working", which focuses on the development of innovation and creativity skills, with courses such as "Design Thinking", "Visual Thinking", "Lean Startup" and "Creative problem solving."
ENDESA is also constantly committed to providing employees with technical training. This assists their professional development and gives them the qualifications to go about their tasks. Some 119,525 hours of technical instruction were taught in 2019 in the areas of Generation, Renewables, Infrastructures and Networks, Supply, Global Digital Solutions (GDS), Procurement and Support Areas.
Finally, since it forms part of a multinational, ENDESA is keen to provide language classes, chiefly English and Italian, with a wide range of programmes in different formats.
In 2019 and 2018, key performance indicators (KPIs) for training evolved as follows:
No. of Hours
| Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) | 2019 | 2018 |
|---|---|---|
| Training (1) | 402,953 | 370,416 |
| Promotion of Employee Training (2) | 40.5 | 37.9 |
| Digital Skills Training (3) | 22,559 | 31,277 |
(1) Training given to the workforce.
(2) Average training given to each employee. (3) Training in digital skills given to the workforce.
In order to attract the best talent, ENDESA focuses on Employer Branding to promote the company in the job market and remain an attractive place to work. Over the past few years, the focus has been on attracting young talent. As part of these initiatives, in order to attract and retain this talent within the Company, it has attended job fairs in different universities, international employment congresses and vocational training centres. A number of different innovation, technology and diversity events have been held, mainly for young people in order to improve their technological skills and knowledge. In this regard, the "Flow Your Talent" project implemented in ENDESA aims to enhance skills and develop young talents.
Other actions under way with the objective of attracting talent to the company include "Recruitment Day", aimed at finding the profiles that the business requires, and "Data Day", an event aimed at selecting data experts.
Given the need to incorporate STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) profiles, medium and long-term actions are being taken to encourage technological vocations at earlier ages (schools and institutes), with a special focus on girls, in accordance with the business strategy of gender diversity.
In a digital environment, communication and the relationship with candidates change quickly, which is why the company has reinforced and improved its presence in social media and other online platforms. These digital channels are one of the main recruitment channels. An example of this is the conducting of video interviews, which help us digitalise and streamline selection process times.
In 2019, 180 young graduates were recruited through the ENDESA Grants Programme, boosting their employability and giving them the opportunity to put into practice the knowledge acquired at university and begin a professional career. Once the scholarship period is over, some of them will be incorporated into the ENDESA workforce.
ENDESA not only carries out internal selection processes for each country, but also occasionally arranges employee exchanges between countries. This aspect has come to the fore since ENDESA joined the ENEL Group.
In 2019, ENDESA, as part of the ENEL Group, continued to roll out international mobility programmes for employees in order to contribute to their development in international arenas, widen their global business vision and boost their technical knowledge.
ENDESA encourages employees to participate in its hiring processes, fomenting internal mobility and providing opportunities for people looking for new learning and professional development opportunities according to their interests and personal motivation. Internal job vacancies are given priority.
In 2019, ENDESA carried out some 200 internal selection processes.
In cases where ENDESA is unable to promote employees from within the company, the company seeks people directly linked to its activities through internships, grants or specific contracts, in addition to using different databases.
In 2019, some 400 external job vacancies were processed for permanent and temporary staff in Spain and Portugal.
ENDESA's remuneration policy is aligned with Spanish and international regulatory recommendations in the area of corporate governance. The company's main objective is to draw, retain and motivate the best professionals, ensuring that internal equality and external competition are maintained, and establishing remuneration according to best market practices.
ENDESA's remuneration policy therefore seeks to ensure competitive and equal compensation among its employees. Remuneration is determined according to an external competition analysis based on market wage surveys, using a valuation methodology that assesses similar posts in companies with a similar number of employees and turnover.
ENDESA's remuneration policy is also merit-based. In 2019, as in previous years, the individual salary review process was carried out for all employees in all professional categories. The objective of these processes is to recognise the efforts of personnel and their commitment to the Company, adjusting remuneration on a case by case basis, while ensuring that the minimums established in the Framework Collective Agreement are observed. This policy also strengthens the manager's role in recognising employees' achievements.
In 2019, an exercise in transparency in communication to the personnel of the salary review process was carried out, with special emphasis on the gender perspective.
In 2019 and 2018 the KPIs relating to the wage gap evolved as follows:
Percentage (%)
| Salary Gap - Average Fixed Remuneration (1) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2019 | 2018 | ||
| Executives | 11.1 | 15.9 | |
| Middle Management | 9.0 | 10.3 | |
| Administrative and Management Personnel | 10.8 | 14.2 | |
| Operatives | (2.8) | 4.8 | |
| AVERAGE | 6.3 | 8.0 |
(1) Difference between the average fixed remuneration of men and that of women, as a percentage of that of men (%).
In ENDESA, at 31 December 2019, the number of workers covered by the Collective Agreement, in different legal terms, was 9,032, or 90.75% of the workforce.
Pursuant to Spanish labour regulations and those of ENDESA in 2019, the criteria to be followed in the event of business reorganisation and corporate restructuring have been established, whereby Union representatives will be informed at least 30 days before any such corporate restructuring and reorganisation is actually implemented.
The most important actions regarding collective bargaining in 2019 were as follows:
Within the scope of ENDESA in Spain, it should be noted that throughout 2019 the process of negotiation of the Fifth Collective Agreement continued, certain matters of negotiation being submitted to a Binding Equity Arbitration and the Resolution being issued on 22 January 2020.
By virtue of the foregoing, on 23 January 2020, the Fifth ENDESA Framework Collective Agreement was signed, as well as the Framework Agreement of Guarantees for ENDESA, S.A. and its electricity subsidiaries domiciled in Spain and the Agreement on Voluntary Measures of Suspension or Termination of Employment Contracts (see Note 38 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended 31 December 2019).
Spain has been an ILO signatory since its foundation, and ENDESA's conventional regulations meet the existing Conventions ratified by Spain.
ENDESA did not hold any treasury shares at 31 December 2019 and did not carry out any transactions involving treasury shares in 2019.

The year 2019 was a positive year for international financial markets, which closed with high overall returns in the equity and fixed income markets. This evolution was achieved despite the uncertainty generated by Brexit in Europe and the trade tensions between China and the United States (USA), which put global economic growth at risk. Thanks to the changes in monetary policy made by the central banks to deal with the situation, the main global stock indices managed to close the year with double-digit increases, mostly offsetting the losses posted in the previous year.
The North American markets led the way, marking new historical highs supported by the three interest rate cuts approved by the Federal Reserve. The NASDAQ 100 technology index led the ranking with a 38.0% increase, its biggest annual advance in the last 10 years, followed by the S&P 500 index with a revaluation of 28.9% and the Dow Jones Industrial Average with 22.3%
The European stock exchanges also achieved significant gains, most particularly those in which the manufacturing sector weighed heaviest. The Italian FTSE MIB index closed with a revaluation of 28.3%, the biggest since 1998, the French CAC 40 index with 26.4% and the German DAX with 25.5%. The pan-European Eurostoxx 50 also rose 24.8%, its biggest increase in 20 years. The most moderate returns corresponded to the FTSE index in the United Kingdom, with 12.1% and the Spanish IBEX-35, which lagged behind with just 11.8%, which even so was its biggest rise since 2013 when it rose 21.4%.
The Spanish index was slowed down by the weight of banks in its composition, this sector being the worst performer in relative terms as a result of low interest rates and the political uncertainty due to the fact that after two general elections, the year ended with a government still in office. In this context, the main indicator of the Spanish stock market closed the year at 9,549.2 points, two sessions after marking the annual maximum at 9,700.5 points. The minimum price for 2019 was recorded on 15 August at 8,519.0 points, 0.24% lower than at the beginning of the year.
A total of 22 shares in the IBEX-35 closed 2019 in positive territory, with 10 of them registering increases of more than 20% at closing and four of them with revaluations greater than 40%. These are mostly defensive bias companies, with less exposure to the economic cycle, with stable income and high dividend yields. Among the last positions of the selection were the banks, with four companies in the sector closing the year with negative returns.
Unlike the banking sector, the main stocks of the energy sector closed in prominent positions within the index, leading the way by capitalisation. Shares in the oil and energy sectors amounted to Euros 143,000 million in market capitalisation at the close compared with Euros 129,500 million for the banking sector.
Within this ranking, ENDESA, S.A. shares were in the second best position in the sector, and in the number 13 position within the IBEX-35, with an upward trend throughout 2019 and an accumulated revaluation of 18.2%. Within the European sector index Eurostoxx Utilities, which closed with an increase of 22.2%, ENDESA, S.A. shares were also in an outstanding seventh position.
ENDESA, S.A.'s shares rose throughout 2019, from a low of Euros 20.07 per share at the close of the session on 2 January 2019 to the peak of Euros 25.49 per share in the session of 27 December 2019, a new all-time high. The stock finally closed 2019 at Euros 23.79, gaining 18.2% and increasing its market value by Euros 3,900 million to Euros 25,188 million.
From that minimum at the beginning of the year, the shares of ENDESA, S.A. behaved positively during the first half of the year, encouraged by the presentation of the Draft National Integrated Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC) 2021-2030 and by the signing of the Nuclear Protocol. The biggest ups and downs in the annual evolution of ENDESA's shares occurred in July, when the first drafts of the new remuneration for the sector were published by the Spanish National Commission on Markets and Competition ("CNMC"), although the stock resumed its upward trend shortly afterwards.
The last half of the year was marked by the announcement of the discontinuation of the operation of the mainland coal power plants and by the presentation of the Company's new Strategic Plan 2020-2022, with a strong commitment to renewable energy and digitalisation. This ambitious Strategic Plan, which will allow ENDESA to lead the energy transition process that has begun in the country, received a very favourable reception from the market, which has continued to appreciate the solid evolution of the Company, the stability of its income and the high dividend yield granted to its shareholders (see Section 6. Outlook in this Consolidated Management Report).
Total shareholder return, calculated as the sum of the market return and dividend yield, was 25.3% in 2019. Added to the 18.2% positive stock market return are the Euros 1.427 per share distributed as a dividend from 2018 earnings, which gave an additional dividend yield of 7.1%.
The Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. operates an economic-financial strategy to generate a significant amount of cash to maintain Company debt levels and maximise shareholder remuneration. This is also a guarantee of sustainability for the business project undertaken.
As a result of this economic-financial strategy, unless any exceptional circumstances arise, which will be duly announced, at a meeting on 26 November 2019 the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. approved the following shareholder remuneration policy for 2019-2022:
The intention of the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. is that the ordinary dividend will be paid solely in cash in two instalments (January and July) on a given date to be determined in each case, which will be duly notified.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, ENDESA's capacity to pay out dividends to its shareholders depends on numerous factors, including the generation of profit and the availability of unrestricted reserves, and, therefore, the Company cannot ensure that dividends will be paid out in future years or the amount of such dividends if paid.
With regard to the year 2019, at its meeting held on 26 November 2019, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. resolved to distribute to its shareholders an interim dividend from 2019 profits in a gross amount of Euros 0.70 per share, for a total of Euros 741 million, which was paid on 2 January 2020 (See Section 4.4. Cash Flows in this Consolidated Management Report).
The proposed distribution of profit in 2019 to be presented for approval at the General Shareholders' Meeting by ENDESA's Board of Directors will be a total gross dividend of Euros 1.475 per share (see Section 17. Proposed distribution of net income in this Consolidated Management Report). Taking into account the interim dividend referred to in the preceding paragraph, the final dividend in respect of 2019 will be a gross amount of Euros 0.775 per share.

The European Union (EU) has made a clear commitment in the fight against global warming, aiming for a climate-neutral Europe in 2050. The European Union (EU) thus subscribes to the Paris Agreement, the objective of which is to prevent the average global temperature from rising to more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels, as well as to promote additional efforts that make it possible for global warming not to exceed 1.5°C.
The transposition of these objectives into Spanish legislation is in process, and in this regard on 22 February 2019 the Ministry for Ecological Transition launched a public consultation on the Strategic Energy and Climate Framework, which basically contains the following documents (see Section 3. Regulatory Framework of the Consolidated Management Report):
During COP 25 in Madrid in December 2019, the European Commission presented the European Green Deal, an ambitious package of measures with which Europe seeks to lead the fight against climate change and head the transition of the world economy towards a clean and fair model. To

do this, the document includes more than 35 initiatives in all areas of European Union (EU) activity, which will have to be implemented in the coming years.
The fulfilment of these ambitious decarbonisation objectives in Spain will mean facing great challenges between now and 2030. With the publication of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, ENDESA reiterates its firm commitment to contributing to the development of a new energy model, based on a high degree of electrification from renewable sources, as a more efficient and sustainable energy vector that ensures a fair and inclusive transition.
The main lines of the new Strategic Plan are closely aligned with the new energy paradigm, both in order to capture the new growth opportunities associated with the energy transition and to continue consolidating the current leadership position. This Plan is based on the following priorities:
In addition, all the objectives of ENDESA's Strategic Plan confirm the commitments of the Company's business model to the Sustainable Development Goals adopted in 2015 by the United Nations, especially with SDGs 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy), 9 (Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure), 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and even more especially 13 (Climate Action), to which more than 90% of the Plan's investments are dedicated (see Section 8.3. ENDESA's contribution to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in this Consolidated Management Report).
ENDESA's commitment to gradually reducing emissions to achieve the final zero emissions targets in 2050 is reflected in the following strategic lines:

Peninsula having announced in its 2020-2022 Strategic Plan the cessation of mainland coal activity by 2022 and the total abandonment of its coal activity by 2030.
As part of that process, the closure of the Compostilla and Teruel plants was requested in December 2018 and the closures of the As Pontes and Litoral plants have been requested in December 2019, without prejudice to the right of withdrawal, in the event that, as a result of the co-combustion tests with different types of biomass that are still being carried out, a fuel mixture is identified that allows the technical, environmental and economic viability of the facilities, as a whole or in part.
Also, in December 2018, the closure of coal groups 1 and 2 of the Alcudia plant was requested, which was authorised by the competent authorities in March 2019, with these groups having been removed from the Register of Electrical Power Production Facilities in January 2020. Additionally, from 1 January 2020, coal groups 3 and 4 of the Alcudia plant will operate a maximum of 1,500 hours per year, which will be reduced by up to 500 hours per year from August 2021. The total power of the coal plants in the process of closing represents 39% of the total installed power in the ENDESA thermal generation pool (12.8 GW) in Spain.
This profound transformation of the generation mix will allow ENDESA to obtain an emission-free mainland production estimated for 2022 of 85% of the total, with a 60% share of renewable sources, as well as a 70% reduction in specific carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in 2030 compared to 2017, which will put ENDESA in a good position to achieve the goal of total decarbonisation by 2050.
ENDESA expects an increase in future electricity demand as a result of greater penetration of electrification, since this is the cleanest and most sustainable source of energy. That is why we must be prepared to meet the new and more complex needs of our customers, as well as staying ahead of market trends, anticipating the creation of new, more efficient and sophisticated products and services. This will involve the implementation of the following actions:

Development of the electricity grid has long been a fundamental pillar of ENDESA's strategy. Projected investment, driven by the electrification of demand and the inclusion of renewable energies, aims to improve grid quality and efficiency, reducing operating costs, and increasing the value of assets through investments in smart grids and the pursuit of excellence.
To this end, ENDESA continues with its investment effort aimed at becoming the reference digital operator, and for this it will allocate €1.1 billion in the 2019-2022 period to the development, automation and modernisation of the network. This amount represents approximately 55% of the €2 billion total investment envisaged for this business in the plan.
These digitisation initiatives will help to improve grid reliability and service quality. In particular, ENDESA intends to cut interruptions by 19%, grid losses by 0.3 percentage points, and operating costs per customer by 9% in three years.
The changes in the electricity sector that will derive from the application of supranational energy transition policies, and which in the case of Spain have been reflected in the Integrated National Energy and Climate Plan (PNIEC), will lead to an increase in electricity consumption as a proportion of total final energy consumption reflected in the generalised use of:
These changes in consumption patterns and the development of new platforms open the door to new business opportunities that ENDESA expects to exploit and expand under the ENDESA X business line.
Quantitatively, mature businesses, which include the e-Home and e-Industries lines, will absorb about two-thirds of the almost €200 million of investment allocated to ENDESA X in order to maintain the growth path achieved in the last few years. These businesses will lay the foundations for the development of new ones that involve future business opportunities, such as e-Mobility, storage by means of batteries and services associated with electric vehicles and demand management. With regard to mobility, ENDESA has presented a plan to encourage electric mobility, with the aim of rolling out 36,000 public and private recharging points throughout Spain by 2022.
These four strategic lines of action are combined with the strong commitment that ENDESA maintains to the search for continuous efficiency through the digitalisation of its businesses. To this end, ENDESA intends to deploy digitisation investment programmes across all businesses, amounting to €1.3 billion between 2019 and 2022, which will involve an estimated improvement in EBITDA of €150 million by 2022. The largest such investments will come in Distribution, with €1.1 billion invested in digitalising said business, accounting for approximately 85% of the investments envisaged for the period.

More details on the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan can be found on the Company's website at https://www.ENDESA.com/en/sobre-ENDESA/a201610-estrategia-plan-estrategico.html
The 2020-2022 Industrial Plan contains an investment target, net of subsidies and assets assigned by customers, of €7.7 billion between 2019 and 2022, 20% more than in the previous Strategic Plan.
The breakdown of this Plan by nature of investments is as follows:
The breakdown of the investment plan by Business Lines is as follows:
On the basis of the strategic pillars described above, and taking account of market and regulatory estimates for the next few years, ENDESA has drawn up a business plan including, among other parameters, forecasts of economic indicators for the Group's consolidated results. In accordance with this, ENDESA expects a positive trend as follows:

Notwithstanding the foregoing, prospective information cannot be considered a guarantee of the Company's future performance as plans and forecasts are subject to risks and uncertainties, which could result in ENDESA's future performance not matching the initial forecasts.

NOTE:
The criterion for determining the accounting result is on a consolidated basis.
The data corresponding to the Income Tax corresponds to the Corporate Income Tax paid/collected in the reporting period. In this case, indicate that ENDESA and its subsidiaries resident in Spain which are 100% owned, are part of the Tax Consolidation Group whose parent company is ENEL S.p.a., with the Company representing the Tax Group in Spain being ENEL Iberia, S.L. Therefore, the data that is recorded is the amount paid/collected by ENDESA and its subsidiaries included in the Tax Group, to ENEL Iberia, S.L., who, in accordance with the regulations of the Tax, declares and liquidates the tax of the Tax Group before the Tax Administration. On the other hand, for the rest of the subsidiaries of the consolidated commercial group that are not part of the fiscal consolidation group, the amount paid / charged to the Tax Administration is taken into account.
Morocco consolidates in the group by the equity method, so the accounting result corresponds to the result after taxes in the percentage in which ENDESA participates.

(1) Companies acquired by ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (EGPE) for the development of renewable energy generation projects.
(2) Companies established by ENDESA Energía, S.A.U.
These transactions are aimed at strengthening ENDESA's presence in the Iberian generation market by expanding the portfolio of renewable assets in its production mix.
The Companies acquired are currently applying for the permits and licences to carry out their projects, so construction of the renewable energy facilities has not yet started and no ordinary revenue has been generated since acquisition date.
The energy sector is experiencing a profound change caused by the main macro-trends (climate change, urban concentration, strengthening of civil society, technological and digital revolution), and by other emerging fruits of technological and social changes.
ENDESA in response to these changes and through the Open Power concept, which constitutes the mission, vision and values of the Company, has always been at the forefront of the different advances produced in the energy sector, bringing safe, affordable and sustainable energy to millions of people. Therefore, aware of this change, it is positioned in a new era of energy which is more open, participatory and digital. This positioning is summarised in the concept of Open Power with the vision of facing up to some of the greatest challenges in the world through values such as responsibility, innovation, trust or proactivity:
Mission
Open up energy to new technologies.
Open up new ways of managing energy for the consumer.
Open Power to face up to some of the biggest challenges in the world.
Values:
Maintaining a leadership position and strengthening it for the future involves a balanced fulfilment of ENDESA's responsibilities in economic, social and environmental matters, based on ethical criteria.
Accordingly, ENDESA's sustainability policy aims to formalise and specify the company's commitment to Sustainable Development, as evidenced by its Open Power strategic positioning and to achieve the creation of shared value, ensuring that the activity that it carries out has a positive impact on the communities in which it operates, as the best way of guaranteeing returns for its shareholders in the short, medium and long term.
Accordingly, the Sustainability Policy establishes nine commitments for the future:

The commitments for the future set out in the Sustainability Policy constitute the basis and guidelines for ENDESA's conduct in the promotion of a sustainable business model. Compliance with the policy is expressly driven by Senior Management; it concerns employees, contractors and suppliers, and it is exposed to third party valuation:
ENDESA, aware that stakeholders and their expectations constitute the basis on which it articulates its sustainability strategy and serve to guide its industrial plan in a way that responds to those needs, reducing risks and taking advantage of business opportunities that are generated by satisfying these expectations, makes a commitment to the promotion of a continuous dialogue with its different groups, for which it reviews, identifies and catalogues, on an annual basis, its stakeholders both globally and in its local operations. In this way, for each stakeholder a segmentation is carried out that allows each of the groups that it comprises to be identified and thus optimise the identification of dialogue and consultation channels to assess their perception of the company's management.
This prioritisation is carried out according to three variables: the level of dependence on the activity of the company, the ability to influence the decision-making process of the company and the level of special and immediate attention required by the stakeholder. This analysis in 2019 maintains that public institutions, investors and customers are the stakeholders with the greatest capacity to influence the Company, while employees are those with the highest degree of dependence.

This methodology is also applied in the local operations of the company in order to increase the level of detail, thus seeking to identify relevant local stakeholders that allow designing effective responses under the approach of creating shared value between the company and the stakeholders. This also makes it possible to implement a continuous interaction with them through the use of different communication channels and procedures, which allows them to acquire a solid knowledge of the needs and expectations of the stakeholders, as well as their evolution.

ENDESA, based on the continuous dialogue with the Stakeholders and in order to integrate their expectations in a structured way and aligned with the purpose of the company, annually carries out a priority identification process to evaluate and select the economic, ethical, environmental and social issues that are relevant to stakeholders and to the company's strategy.
This process is aligned with the international standards AA 1000, which are intended to guide the organisation in the strategic management of interaction with its stakeholders to identify, prioritise


and respond to sustainability challenges and improve performance over the long term through compliance with a set of principles: inclusiveness, relevance and responsiveness.
In 2019 ENDESA has carried out a materiality study that has served as a basis for defining the priorities of its 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan and for this, it has carried out the following analyses and works:
From the combined analysis of the relevance in the business strategy and the priority for the stakeholders of each of the topics, the result is the following matrix:

As the previous matrix shows, among the most relevant issues for the sustainability of the company and with some changes with respect to the previous year, the decarbonisation of the energy mix, the commitment to the customer, occupational health and safety and environmental management appear.
In addition, the level of satisfaction of the stakeholders regarding these issues has been analysed, identifying the decarbonisation of the energy mix as the material issue that should be managed more actively.

To identify the issues on which ENDESA should focus its actions in the coming years to guarantee the creation of shared value and the best generation of benefit to the Company and its shareholders in the long term, the Company combines the results of the previous analysis with the of the business model, the sector and the expectations of stakeholders. The result identifies the following areas of action:

In short, according to the stakeholders consulted, the creation of the company's value must be based on a set of requirements necessary to operate (such as corporate governance, environmental management, health and safety, human rights, supply chain or community relations) and incorporate a set of elements aimed at generating future value for the business (such as customer orientation, new business solutions, digitalisation and operational efficiency). All this must be done on the basis of the promotion of an emission-free energy model by 2050 and through the continuous commitment to the development of highly qualified human capital that will lead the energy transition.
For ENDESA, sustainability plays a central role when defining the direction of our business, and in order to integrate it with the management of the business and the decision-making processes, there must be maximum alignment between the business strategy and the sustainability strategy, so that both are aimed at the attainment of the same objective and provide mutual feedback to achieve it, thereby generating economic value for the Company in the short and long-term. Therefore, ENDESA's materiality analysis feeds the strategic reflection that defines the Industrial Plan. Additionally, the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES), through more than 100 quantitative management objectives, responded to each of the priorities and strategic pillars identified, with a global compliance of 92%.
As part of its commitment to transparency and in the interest of building trust with its stakeholders, ENDESA duly renders account of its achievement of the objectives and actions included in its 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan in this Statement of Non-Financial Information (see subsequent chapters) and in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which will be made available on its website www.ENDESA.com..
On 27 November 2019, ENDESA presented to the investment community the update of its 2020- 2022 Strategic Plan and, aligned with it, ENDESA has carried out an analysis and reflection process based on the results of the materiality study carried out in 2019 for the design of its new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan. This plan is based on the achievements and improvement opportunities identified in the previous plan, thus identifying priorities for action for the next 3 years.

The new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) continues along this path, which promotes the creation of long-term sustainable value through the establishment of the following strategic priorities:
ESG Pillars:

All the strategic lines marked together with the incorporation of lines of action in the field of innovation, digitalisation and cybersecurity allow the creation of long-term economic and financial value.
This 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan reaffirms, therefore, ENDESA's determined commitment to sustainability, which is put into practice through the more than 115 quantitative management objectives.
The most relevant objectives of the 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan are detailed in the following chapters of this Non-Financial Information Statement, while the details of all the objectives will be available in the 2019 Sustainability Report and the corporate website www. ENDESA.com

The General Risk Management and Control Policy establishes the basic principles and the general framework for the control and management of risks of all kinds that might affect the attainment of the objectives, ensuring that they are identified, analysed, assessed, managed and controlled systematically and within the levels of risk established.
The General Risk Management and Control Policy seeks to guide and steer the set of strategic, organisational and operational actions that allow the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. to precisely delineate the acceptable level of risk, so that the managers, staff and service functions of the various Business Lines can maximise the Company's profitability, preservation or increase of its equity and treasury and certainty in its achievement above certain levels, preventing uncertain and future events from having a negative influence on its ability to achievement the company's profitability objectives, its operations, sustainability, resilience or reputation in a sustained manner over time, providing an adequate level of guarantees to shareholders and safeguarding their interests, as well as those of customers and other stakeholders.
The general guidelines of the Risk Management and Control Policy are implemented and supplemented by other specific corporate risk policies for each business line, staff and service functions as well as by limits established for optimal risk management.
The General Risk Control and Management Policy is implemented through an Internal Control and Risk Management System (Spanish acronym: SCIGR), which comprises an organisation, principles, a regulatory system and a risk control and management process.
The Internal Control and Risk Management System conforms to a model based on the one hand on an ongoing study of the risk profile, applying current best practices in the energy or benchmark sectors as regards risk management, homogeneous measurement criteria within the same type of risk, segregation of risk managers and controllers, and, on the other hand, on ensuring a link between the risk assumed and the resources needed to operate the businesses, always maintaining an appropriate balance between the risk assumed and the objectives set by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A.
The risk control and management model implemented in the Company is aligned with international standards following a methodology based on the 3 lines of defence model, as described in the General Risk Control and Management Policy published on the Company website. https://www.ENDESA.com/es/accionistas-e-inversores/gobiernocorporativo/politicas-corporativos.html
The organisation of the Internal Control and Risk Management System is implemented through independent risk management and risk control functions that ensure adequate segregation of duties.
The General Risk Management and Control Policy defines the Internal Control and Risk Management System for ENDESA as an interwoven system of rules, processes, controls and reporting systems in which overall risk is defined as the total consolidated amount of all risks to which it is exposed, taking into account the mitigating effects for the different exposures and risk classes, allowing for consolidation and appraisal of risk exposure, from the Company's different

business units and areas, as well as the development of management information relevant to making decisions on risk and the proper use of capital.
The risk control and management process consists of the identification, evaluation, monitoring and management in time of the different risks, and contemplates the main risks to which the company is exposed, whether endogenous (for internal factors) or exogenous (for external factors).
The Risk Management and Control Policy set and approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A., constitutes the central element of the system from which other specific documents and policies are derived, for example, the "Policy on Management and Control of Tax Risks" and the "Criminal Compliance and Anti-Bribery Policy", which are approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. and in which risk and control catalogues are defined.
In addition, in view of the growing interest in the management and control of the risks to which the Companies are exposed and given how complicated it is becoming to identify them from a comprehensive point of view, it is important for employees to take part at all levels in this process. In this regard a risk mailbox has been created for employees to help identify market risks and come up with suggestions for measures to mitigate them, thereby complementing the existing top-down risk management and control systems and mailboxes and specific procedures for reporting breaches of ethical behaviour, criminal risks and employment risks.
Organic Law 5/2010 by which Organic Law 10/1995, of 23 November, of the Criminal Code was modified, and subsequently amended by Organic Law 1/2019, of 20 February, established a list of crimes applicable to legal persons, referring to the need to establish surveillance and control measures for their prevention and detection. This legal regime was reformed by Organic Law 1/2015, of 30 March, detailing the requirements that allow legal persons to prove their diligence in the field of criminal prevention and detection.
In accordance with the provisions of this Organic Law, ENDESA has developed certain internal rules that have satisfied the need for adequate control and management systems applied in the

area of criminal detection and prevention, particularly in conduct aimed at restricting the crime of bribery.
The ENDESA Criminal and Anti-Bribery Regulatory Compliance Management System (hereafter referred to as the "Compliance System") comprises an integrated body of provisions on the basis of the Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy, which is respectful of legal requirements Spanish in this matter and sufficient to meet the expectations that are deposited in the Organisations that operate according to the highest levels of commitment in the most advanced markets.
The main activities that are carried out in ENDESA for the effective application of the Compliance System are the evaluation of the risks and the control activities and the supervision of the same, thus guaranteeing its design and operability.
The Criminal Compliance and Anti-Bribery Policy was approved by the Board of Directors on 6 November 2017 and is additional to the General Risk Control and Management Policy; it establishes the general principles of the Compliance System, which inform the content and application of all corporate internal standards, as well as the Organisation's actions.
The functions of verification, monitoring and updating of the Compliance System are performed by the Criminal Risk Supervision Committee and, ultimately, the operation and compliance of the System is supervised by the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC) of the Board of Directors.
For more details, see section 2.3 and 2.4 of the section Fight against Corruption and Bribery in this document.
The Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) is a component of the company's internal control system and consists of a complete set of processes that ensure reasonable certainty regarding the reliability of both internal and external financial information. The ENDESA Internal Control Unit is the area responsible for identifying the most relevant processes, activities, risks and controls of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) that it considers material to provide reasonable assurance that the information disclosed externally by ENDESA is reliable and appropriate.
Every six months, ENDESA carries out an Evaluation Process of the Internal Control System for Financial Reporting (SCIIF) in which each person responsible for the controls of the SCIIF evaluates regarding both its design and its effectiveness. Within the model, an ongoing verification process of the SCIIF is also carried out by an independent expert. The results of both processes are reported:
a) to the Board of Directors, to which in accordance with the Corporate Enterprises Act the power of supervision of internal information and control systems is reserved; and
b) to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC), which, in accordance with the Corporate Enterprises Act has among its functions the supervision of the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.
ENDESA has established a process of control and management of risks that allows it to obtain a complete vision of all the risks to which it is exposed, considering the mitigation effects between the different exposures and categories thereof, as well as the preparation of the corresponding management information for decision making in terms of risk and appropriate use of capital.
The Risk Committee supervises the management and monitoring of all risks other than those of a criminal nature and those related to internal control and financial information, referring the results of its deliberations and conclusions to the Audit and Compliance Committee of the Board of Directors of ENDESA S.A.
Risk Control is the area delegated by the Risk Committee to define the procedures and norms of the internal control and risk management system, to ensure that all the risks are homogeneously and periodically identified, characterised, quantified and properly managed in the area of responsibility that affects the entity, including off-balance sheet, monitoring risk exposure and the control activities implemented. To carry out its functions, Risk Control relies on other areas and committees that have specific and complementary risk control and management models and policies.
ENDESA is exposed to certain risks that it manages through the application of identification, measurement, control and management systems. In this sense, the different types of risk, financial and non-financial (operational, technological, legal, social, environmental, political and reputational) that the Company faces, are taken into consideration. These aspects are integrated into the company's risk management and control system and are supervised by the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC) of the Board of Directors.
In 2019, ENDESA, as it has been doing systematically and on an annual basis, has updated the identification of emerging sustainability risks with medium and long-term impact related to any of the dimensions that make up sustainability, with the aim of analysing the impact on the business and establish the necessary measures for its control and prevention.
To this end, ENDESA has taken as a reference the identification of global risks prepared by the World Economic Forum based on a consultation with 1,000 experts from the business world, university, civil society and public sector on the perception of global risks in a time horizon of 10 years. This map has been adjusted to ENDESA's operating context based on the queries made by the Company to the stakeholders as part of the materiality study, thus identifying the most relevant sustainability risks and the query made to the stakeholders within the Human Rights Due Diligence to identify risks at the country level. These three factors (analysis of the World Economic Forum, materiality study and risk analysis in the Due Diligence) determine both the probability and the impact of the different risks. This analysis is complemented by that of the Company's exposure to each of the risks carried out taking into account the analyses of MSCI and Sustainalitycs.
The resulting risk map varies slightly from that of the previous year since some of the macrotrends identified in previous years have been accentuated, such as climate change and its effects, loss of biodiversity and the associated environmental activism, among others:

| Risk | Description | Potential Impact on ENDESA | Main Management and Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| Climate Change (Mitigation and Adaptation) |
The measures that are being taken in the fight against climate change by States and the business sector may be insufficient for mitigation and adaptation. |
Increase in regulatory requirements to accelerate the transition to an energy mix free of greenhouse gas emissions (increased production cost overruns based on fossil fuels). Increase in the demands by investors regarding the management of the impact of the different climate change scenarios. |
ENDESA has established a roadmap towards the Decarbonisation of its energy mix by 2050 that sets intermediate targets for reducing CO2 emissions for the years 2020, 2030 and 2040. This roadmap is supported by a clear commitment to renewable energy and the optimisation of thermal generation assets during the transition. With the new 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, this commitment to decarbonisation has been reinforced, announcing the abandonment of the activity of mainland coal in 2022, which has been materialised throughout 2019 in the request for the closure of the thermal power plants of Litoral, As Pontes and groups 1 and 2 of the Alcudia plant, which completes the closure requests for the Teruel and Compostilla plants made in 2018. That same Plan contemplates an increase in the period between 2020 and 2022 of approximately 40% in installed renewable capacity. An adaptation project has been carried out that includes both the assessment of internal vulnerability and the evaluation of future benefits and opportunities. The conclusions of the aforementioned project show that the risks to which the business lines would be subjected are classified as low and very low and are also expected to materialise slowly and in the future. |
| Extreme Climate Phenomena and Environmental Disasters |
Climate change is generating associated phenomena such as increasing the occurrence and intensity of adverse weather events (floods, storms, etc.). On the other hand, a greater incidence of environmental catastrophes caused by nature itself (tidal waves, earthquakes, etc.), or by humans (industrial discharges, air and/or radioactive pollution, etc.) has a considerable impact on business activity. |
Incidents in distribution networks and generation plants motivated by the occurrence of adverse meteorological phenomena. Environmental sanctions derived from the potential provocation of environmental catastrophes in the operation of power plants or the distribution network (fires, radioactive emissions). |
ENDESA has environmental management systems for all its generation and distribution assets, certified by ISO 14001 and aimed at promoting excellence in environmental management and going beyond the requirements established in environmental legislation. On the other hand, the Company participates actively and continuously over time both in national and international initiatives and in the development of studies and projects in order to deepen the evaluation of the impacts of climate change on the infrastructure elements that allow it to establish adaptation measures to minimise risks. Additionally, it prepares its facilities for possible eventualities derived from extreme climatic phenomena and environmental catastrophes. In this regard, among other actions, in 2018 the deployment of emergency plans for hydroelectric dams was completed. |
| Risk | Description | Potential Impact on ENDESA | Main Management and Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| ENDESA has environmental liability and civil liability insurance to deal with potential breaches of environmental regulations and cover claims arising from damage to third parties. |
|||
| Cybersecurity | The digital transformation entails greater exposure to potential cyber attacks that may jeopardise the security of computer systems and databases with sensitive information. |
Economic losses and reputational impacts that arise in the event that ENDESA's information systems are affected by a cyberattack. Likewise, the Company's critical infrastructure could also be exposed to such attacks that could have a serious impact on the essential services they provide (e.g. nuclear power plants). The danger of fraudulent impersonation in the commercial activity is increasing and it is necessary to take the security measures and protection of the personal data of the customers. |
ENDESA has a cybersecurity strategy that is aligned with international standards and government initiatives. As part of this strategy ENDESA carries out a process of evaluation of the main risks and identification of vulnerabilities, as well as an exhaustive digital surveillance through which it analyses the information and implements corrective actions to mitigate risks. Additionally, it deploys training and awareness actions in the use of digital technologies among its employees, both in the professional and private spheres, to mitigate risks. |
| Inequality and Social Instability |
There is a worldwide increase in inequality that, in the case of Spain and Portugal, is accentuated by high levels of unemployment. Likewise, the social instability caused by the lack of leadership and the weakness of representative democracy, together with an increased capacity by people to organise themselves and increase their demands on governments and companies, are contributing to a strengthening of civil society. |
Social instability and the strengthening of civil society are causing further questioning of the activities of the company, which needs to increase the intensity of its communication and develop more participatory relationship models with society. |
ENDESA is developing different actions to facilitate access to energy for vulnerable groups. ENDESA has signed 272 agreements in force, of which 6 are with Autonomous Communities and 5 with Federations of Municipalities and it maintains contact with 537 municipalities. In addition, the Company is implementing a methodology for creating shared value in the surroundings of its local operations in order to ensure that it produces a positive impact on local communities, contributing to respond to the challenges that these communities face, which include unemployment and inequality and the ensuing social instability. |
| Loss of Biodiversity |
Due to the increased demographic pressure and human activity, characterised by high consumption of natural resources, a loss of the biodiversity of ecosystems is being produced. |
Increased environmental requirements for the development of new electricity generation and distribution projects. |
ENDESA within its Biodiversity Conservation Plan, develops projects for the protection, conservation and enhancement of Biodiversity, promotes the increase of its scientific knowledge, seeks synergies that help its conservation and develops tools that help to understand the interaction of biodiversity with the activity it develops. |
| Shortage of Water Resources |
The demographic explosion and the consumption patterns of today's society entails a greater pressure on those natural resources that have to supply the needs of the population, especially water |
Restrictions on the use or availability of water for electricity generation. |
ENDESA incorporates into its environmental management systems actions aimed at promoting efficiency in the consumption of water resources. |
| Structural unemployment |
Different factors such as population growth, the impact of automation, cyclical economic crises, the seasonality of employment or the lack of adaptation of the industrial fabric to the new competitive conditions determine that high levels of unemployment are continuously maintained. |
Less economic activity that has an impact on lower energy demand and value-added products and services and greater volume of customers in vulnerable economic situations, with difficulties in dealing with the electricity bill. |
ENDESA has a fair transition plan through a methodology for creating shared value in the environment of its local operations where employment for its workers is guaranteed. In 2019, ENDESA allocated more than €3.1 million according to the LBG methodology, in projects aimed at creating economic fabric in the communities, improving employability and creating jobs. In addition, ENDESA incorporates sustainability criteria in its tenders, among which, in general, it prioritises the supplier/contractor to employ local workers. ENDESA establishes agreements with the Public Administration to avoid the supply cut of vulnerable customers and thus reduce the risk of default. In addition, ENDESA has a series of rates according to the economic situation of the different groups |
| Risk | Description | Potential Impact on ENDESA | Main Management and Mitigation Measures |
|---|---|---|---|
| (PVPC, Small Consumer Sale Price) as well as the management of the Bono Social discount rate for those with vulnerable economies. |
|||
| Corruption | The existence of corruption is an obstacle to economic development, represents a greater unpredictability and risk for the development of economic activity |
Greater difficulty in developing the activity, impact on the general perception of country risk that may affect access to financing. |
The management and mitigation measures for this risk are described in point 2 of this section and in greater detail in the section Fight against corruption and bribery of this document. |
| Health and Occupational Safety |
Occupational health and safety aspects are critical. The type of industrial activity carried out can determine a greater exposure to this type of risk |
Occurrence of accidents with an impact on the health of workers. |
ENDESA gives absolute priority to the health and safety of its employees, so this issue is closely followed by Senior Management that meets at least monthly to analyse the evolution of the indicators and take appropriate measures before potential deviations. In addition, performance in this area is one of the indicators that determines the variable remuneration of Senior Management. ENDESA has a management policy and associated procedures such as the ENDESA and Business Occupational Health and Safety Management System and its corresponding Operating Rules in Technical Instructions. In addition, Strategic Health and Safety Plans have been established in the medium term with annual renewals or as a result of an abnormal concentration of accident rate. Within ENDESA, as stipulated by Law 31/1995 on Occupational Risk Prevention and regulations that develops it, the prevention and protection service has been organised with the "JOINT PREVENTION SERVICE" figure with a series of tasks to be developed. |
| Political conflicts and extremism |
The geopolitical situation in certain countries, political polarisation and extremist religious movements are causing an increase in terrorist attacks in developed countries. |
Increase of the risk on the security of infrastructures in general and with greater intensity in the critical infrastructures that can potentially be the object of terrorist attacks, such as nuclear power plants and reduction of income due to the economic slowdown derived from the uncertainty generated by political polarisation. |
ENDESA has security policies that guarantee the implementation of the physical, technical and organisational measures necessary for the protection of people, infrastructure and information systems, in line with the identified risks and the threat assessment; all in accordance with private security regulations and in compliance with the legal and regulatory provisions related to the protection of critical infrastructure and essential services, and in permanent cooperation with the competent authorities in matters of public safety. |
ENDESA has a permanent commitment to respect and promote human rights. This commitment is reflected in its corporate policies and is manifested through its adherence to the United Nations Global Compact, which incorporates support and respect for the protection of human rights and non-complicity in its violation within its first two principles. Likewise, ENDESA has historically developed pioneering activities to ensure respect for human rights in its activities and those of its supply chain, continuously developing processes to identify risks and potential human rights impacts.
Following the approval of the Guiding Principles of Business and Human Rights by the United Nations, ENDESA decided to formally adapt its historical commitment to respect and promote human rights to this new framework, integrating it into the management of business activity.
In this way, the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. approved in 2013 the human rights policy, thus following the recommendations established by the Guiding Principles. This policy includes ENDESA's commitment and responsibilities in relation to all human rights, and especially those that affect its business activity and the operations developed by ENDESA employees, both managers and employees. It also promotes the adherence of its contractors, suppliers and business partners to the same principles, paying particular attention to conflict and high-risk situations.
The policy identifies 8 principles framed in two broad areas, such as labour practices and communities and societies:
Labour practices:
Communities and Societies:
The policy is available at https://www.ENDESA.com/content/dam/ENDESAcom/home/sostenibilidad/plandesostenibilidad/documentos/pol%C3%ADtica-de-derechoshumanos/Pol%C3%ADtica- Human-Rights-ENDESAES.pdf .
In order to apply the commitments contained in the human rights policy, and following the recommendations of the Guiding Principles, ENDESA undertakes to establish adequate due diligence processes that guarantee its implementation and monitoring, evaluating the possible impacts and risks existing in matters of human rights and establishing measures for their mitigation.
Therefore, during 2017 ENDESA carried out a due diligence process through which it assessed the level of compliance with its policy and the Guiding Principles. This process covered all of its business activity in Spain, including electricity generation, distribution and marketing activities, as well as supply chain management, asset purchase processes and corporate functions.
This process was developed based on a first identification of the country risk level, a subsequent evaluation of the real and potential impacts of ENDESA's activity on human rights and, finally, the design of an action plan.
Given the relevance that this issue has for ENDESA, the entire process was presented to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC) on 29 January 2018 to report the main results of the Due Diligence and the action plan designed, for the purpose of Follow up on an annual basis. Also, at the session on 28 January 2019, the CAC was informed of the actions carried out in 2018 to comply with the aforementioned action plan. In the year 2019, 100% of the actions of the action plan resulting from the Due Diligence were completed, and the CAC was informed again in its February 2020 session.
One of the improvements included in the action plan has been to proceed with the periodic execution of Due Diligence to ensure that there is a permanent review of ENDESA's activity to ensure a level of excellence in compliance with the Human Rights Policy and Guiding Principles This periodicity has been set at 3 years to allow time for, once identified possible deficiencies, the appropriate corrective measures are established. Therefore, having conducted the first Due Diligence in 2017, a new Due Diligence will be carried out throughout 2020. The results included in the following points refer to the analysis carried out in 2017 and the actions carried out to cover the identified deficiencies were carried out between 2018 and 2019.
In order to know the context in which ENDESA operates in the field of human rights and identify those issues that, due to regulatory and social conditions, could pose a higher level of starting risk, ENDESA conducted a consultation in 2017 to more than 50 experts from different fields such as: United Nations, civil society, academic institutions, citizenship, customers and supply chain.
This consultation allowed the Company to classify each of the principles included in the human rights policy according to the level of risk of non-compliance in Spain (marked mainly by the level of development of current legislation and the social context of the country), where the Company operates.

The objective of the second phase of the process was to carry out an analysis of the ENDESA value creation chain in order to identify real and potential impacts of the Company on each of the aspects included in the human rights policy and in the applicable Guiding Principles. To do this, it acted on two levels:
This analysis made it possible to verify that ENDESA already had a set of very robust management mechanisms and systems in place at the time of the due diligence process, enabling it to guarantee respect for human rights and properly manage existing risks. In this regard, the main results and existing management mechanisms identified in 2017 are summarised below:
| Aspects | Level of Management and Maturity in ENDESA |
Mechanisms for Risk Management | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scope: Labour Practices | |||
| Freedom of Association and Robust Collective Bargaining |
More than 90% of the workforce covered by collective agreements agreed with the different trade union organisations and adjusted to the treaties in force of the International Labor Organization (ILO) ratified by Spain. The functioning of these organisations and the right to union action are expressly included in the collective agreements. |
||
| Rejection of Forced or Compulsory Labour and Child Labour |
Robust | The management systems and procedures of People and Organisation guarantee the absence of minors in the workforce. The youngest employee at the time of the due diligence was 22 years old. As at 31/12/2019 the youngest employee was 22 years old. The conditions of hiring employees are clearly detailed in the contract itself and collective agreements regulate the performance of overtime, there being a commitment to their remuneration and minimisation. |
|
| Respect for Diversity and Non Discrimination |
Robust | ENDESA has a diversity and inclusion policy and action plan that establishes objectives and lines of action in four areas (gender, age, nationality and disability) in order to spread a culture that pays attention to diversity as an element of generation of value In addition, the collective agreement regulates the existing equality plan in the company. |
|
| Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) |
Robust | ENDESA work centres have occupational health and safety management systems certified by the international standard OHSAS 18.001, through which appropriate measures are established to manage the risks inherent to ENDESA's industrial activity and reduce the accident ratios. In addition, the prevention of occupational hazards is integrated into the activities, processes, practices and facilities throughout all the management bodies of the company. |
|
| Fair and Favourable Working Conditions |
Robust | Working conditions are regulated through collective agreements agreed with trade union organisations. In addition, the different mechanisms and procedures of People and Organisation management are aimed at promoting working conditions that exceed the requirements established by current regulations. |
|
| Scope: Communities and Society | |||
| Respect for the Rights of the Communities |
Responsible Relations with the Communities |
Robust | ENDESA is currently implementing a methodology for creating shared value in the management of its local operations, through which it integrates the expectations of local communities in the management of assets and seeks solutions that generate value in the Company, thus contributing to obtaining the "social licence" to operate. This methodology is implemented throughout the useful life of the asset. |
| Security management |
Robust | ENDESA makes use of private security forces in accordance with the provisions of current regulations. Security services are provided by external personnel duly accredited and authorised by the Ministry of Interior. As part of their training, aspects of Private Security legislation, basic rights of people and human rights are included. Likewise, they undergo periodic review and evaluation processes by the State's law enforcement authorities. |
|
| Environment | Robust | ENDESA has environmental management systems certified by ISO 14001 for 100% of its electricity generation and distribution activity. Through these systems, the |
| Company establishes environmental monitoring plans and continuous improvement measures that go beyond the requirements established by current regulations. |
||
|---|---|---|
| Integrity and Ethical Conduct | Robust | ENDESA has a Code of Ethics, a Zero Tolerance Plan with Corruption and other regulations in accordance with the most advanced compliance models. In addition, among other aspects, Endesa has established specific action protocols in order to guide the actions of its employees regarding accepting and offering gifts and entertainment, and in dealings with public officials and authorities. Endesa also has a crime prevention model that complies with the regulations applicable to the group regarding corporate criminal liability. This model was certified in 2017 under the UNE 19601 standard: 2017. Finally, since 2017 the Company has a legal and anti-bribery compliance policy, as well as an anti-bribery management system certified by the UNE-ISO 37.001-2017 standard. |
During the due diligence process, the extension of the commitment to human rights throughout the entire value chain, including the supply chain and responsible customer relations, was also analysed. The main mechanisms for the management of both aspects are detailed below:
| Appearance | Management Mechanisms | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Supply Chain | ||||||||
| The general contracting terms and conditions include obligations for suppliers and contractors in relation to respect for human rights during the provision of the service contracted by ENDESA. |
||||||||
| Supplier and Contractor Management |
Likewise, since 2017 the supplier qualification process includes criteria for the evaluation of human rights for the families of suppliers with higher risks. If necessary, audits and on-site visits are planned, as well as the establishment of improvement plans by suppliers and, if appropriate, the loss of qualification and the possible suspension of the contract. |
|||||||
| Fuel Provision | The electricity sector must be supplied with fossil fuels whose origin is, in many cases, from countries where there are less stable legal frameworks and with a higher risk of breach of human rights. Therefore, ENDESA systematically performs a counterpart analysis prior to contracting such services. This analysis allows identifying relevant controversies that may entail legal and reputational risks for the Company and incorporates elements related to human rights. Likewise, during the last few years there has been a lot of pressure on the part of Civil Society and investors regarding coal mining, transferring this pressure to the electrical companies (especially the European ones) that use this fuel for the operation of their thermal power stations. Although ENDESA has announced the abandonment of its mainland coal activity in 2022 and has already requested the closure of all its mainland coal plants and Groups 1 and 2 of the Alcudia thermal power plant, still and as part of the ENEL Group, it is part of the Bettercoal initiative. Promoted by a group of European electricity companies, this global initiative aims to promote the continuous improvement of corporate responsibility in the coal supply chain, including human rights as one of its main elements. Thus, mining companies must adopt the Bettercoal code and implement a set of good practices and undergo continuous evaluation and improvement processes. For more details see the Supply Chain section of this report. |
|||||||
| Responsible Relations with the Customer | ||||||||
| Privacy and Communications | ENDESA has a system certified by AENOR for the treatment of commercial and Customer Service advisors that is based on a specific ethical code aimed at ensuring that the commercial activity complies with current legislation, respects private life, guarantees the protection of minors and respect those who do not want commercial information. Regarding the protection of personal data, ENDESA has the appropriate monitoring and review systems and mechanisms to comply with the Organic Law on Data Protection. With regard to advertising communications there is an internal control system that seeks to minimise risks and avoid messages that may threaten human dignity or human rights. |
|||||||
| Access to Energy for Vulnerable Customers |
ENDESA recognises the essential role that access to energy constitutes to guarantee the fulfilment of human rights, since it is directly related to the well-being of people and their quality of life. In this sense, the States have the main responsibility of guaranteeing sustainable, safe and affordable access to basic energy services. However, the electricity sector can contribute to this end and thus promote social and economic development that is inclusive and sustainable. In this context, ENDESA is aware of the serious problem of the inability to deal with the energy bill in many Spanish homes and, therefore, the Company has pioneered the signing of agreements with the Public Administration to guarantee the supply to the vulnerable customers. In addition, the Company develops different actions aimed at promoting energy efficiency and saving the electricity bill of this type of groups. |
During the process of evaluating compliance with human rights policy and its alignment with the Guiding Principles, a set of improvement opportunities were identified to strengthen the Company's commitment to respect for human rights in the performance of its industrial activity. and commercial.
Thus, these opportunities for improvement are classified into four areas: reinforce and disseminate ENDESA's commitment to human rights; promote the integration of human rights in

business activity among employees; strengthen relations with local communities; and extend commitment and control to the value chain.
To respond to these four areas of action, an action plan was defined containing 27 actions, the development of which was planned for 2018 and subsequent years and whose follow-up is submitted to the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. through the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC).
The main improvement opportunities identified and the actions carried out in the action plan that were presented in detail to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC) of 28 January 2019 are detailed below. In the table it can be verified that as of 31 December 2019 a degree of achievement of 100% has already been reached.
| Scope of Improvement | Main Actions | Status as at 31/12/2019 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Strengthen and disseminate ENDESA's commitment to human rights, both to employees and to external stakeholders. |
Inclusion of a reference to the commitment to Human Rights and due diligence in public documentation related to the policy and management of nuclear assets External dissemination of ENDESA's commitment to human rights and the actions being carried out. |
Added text explaining the commitment to Human Rights and due diligence in specific nuclear section. Communication of Human Rights policy and intense communication campaign between September and December through the intranet. |
|||
| Promote the integration of human rights in ENDESA's business activity among employees. |
Training on human rights to ENDESA staff. |

Criteria included. Pilot made in early 2019. |
|||
| Continuation of the extension of the evaluation criteria in human rights to the asset purchase processes. |
Extended to asset purchase operations (Ceuta Distributor). |
Additionally, other relevant actions have also been developed within the due diligence action plan:

ENDESA's human rights policy provides that when any person related to ENDESA, whether an employee or an external person, considers that there is a situation contrary to what is stated in the policy itself, they may inform the Audit Function of the business.
In the treatment of these communications, the Audit Function will act to protect the informants from any form of retaliation, being understood as such, any act that may give rise to the mere suspicion that the person in question may be subject to any form of discrimination or penalty. In addition, the confidentiality of the identity of the informants is guaranteed, unless otherwise stipulated in the applicable legislation.
On the other hand, for those issues related to the workplace, ENDESA has the necessary mechanisms to establish a continuous dialogue with the different trade union organisations through which they can transmit complaints or claims to the company. Likewise, through the strategic positioning of Open Power, ENDESA seeks to establish an increasingly continuous and close dialogue with civil society organisations through which complaints or suggestions on issues related to human rights can also be received. In this regard, it is worth mentioning the existence of a sustainability mailbox ([email protected]) through which any stakeholder can contact the company.
In any case where, based on a communication of this type, it is determined that there has been a breach of the principles set forth in this Policy, the corresponding procedure provided in the Code of Ethics will apply. Likewise, ENDESA is committed to developing the appropriate remediation mechanisms, without prejudice to allowing access to other judicial and non-judicial mechanisms that may exist.
Additionally, within the Due Diligence Action Plan, a specific channel (sustainability\[email protected] ) has been created to facilitate the reception of doubts, complaints or clarifications for all assets and projects. Information on the existence of this channel is available, in addition to the usual ENDESA communication channels, in the information panels (panel sites) located in all facilities.
In 2019 there were 2 complaints on issues related to human rights (mobbing or corporate climate and people management and organisation), in 2018 we had 3 complaints on issues related to human rights.
One of them has been referred to a specialist for management, since the protocol has been established, and in none of them has non-compliance been verified.

The Regulations of the Board of Directors, in its Article 9.- Selection, appointment, ratification and re-election of Directors, establishes that: "The Board of Directors, at the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, shall approve a specific and attestable policy for selecting candidates for the office of director, ensuring that the proposed appointments of directors are based on a previous analysis of the needs of the Board, and which favours a diversity of knowledge, experiences and gender."
In this regard, the Board of Directors approved on 10 November 2015 a Policy for the selection of Directors (modified on 16 December 2019, in order to technically improve the content of the Policy and to adapt to the best governance practices corporate) concrete and verifiable, which seeks the integration of different professional and management experiences and competences (including those that are specific to the business developed by the Company, the economicfinancial and legal), promoting, in addition, to the extent of the possible, the diversity of gender and age.
Likewise, Article 9 of the Regulations indicates that "The proposals for the appointment, ratification or re-election of Directors made by the Board will fall on persons of recognised prestige who have the appropriate professional experience and knowledge to carry out their duties and assume a commitment of sufficient dedication for the performance of the tasks of that one.
The General Shareholders' Meeting or, as the case may be, the Board shall be responsible for appointing Board members in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Spanish Capital Corporations Act (Ley de Sociedades de Capital) and the Articles of Association. The position of Director is waived, revocable and re-eligible.
Proposals for the appointment, ratification or reappointment of Directors made by the Board of Directors to the General Shareholders' Meeting, or as approved by the Board of Directors itself in the case of proposals for appointment, shall be made at the proposal of the Appointments and Remuneration Committee, in the case of Independent Directors, and following a report by said Committee for all other types of Directors."
The Policy for the selection of Directors (approved on 10 November 2015, and amended on 16 December 2019, in order to technically improve the content of the Policy and the adaptation to the best corporate governance practices), bets on the Article 5 for the promotion of gender diversity: "ENDESA understands that diversity in all its forms, at every level of its professional team, is a key component to ensuring the Company's competitiveness and also plays a key role in its corporate governance strategy that ensures a critical attitude, as well as the expression of different points of view and positions and the analysis of its strengths and weaknesses.
For this, it ensures equal opportunities and fair treatment in the management of people at all levels, maximising the value contribution of those elements that differentiate people (gender, culture, age, abilities, nationality, etc.) within the Board of Directors, the Audit and Compliance Committee and the Appointment and Compensation Committee, taking into account the limitations presented by the smaller size of the Committees.
In this regard, the Director Selection Policy shall promote the objective of having female directors account for at least 30% of the total number of Board members by 2020.
Directors shall be entitled to the following remuneration based on their condition as such: a monthly fixed salary and attendance allowances for each meeting of the governing bodies of the Company and its committees.
Detailed information on the remuneration of the Directors of the Company can be found in the documents "ENDESA Remuneration Policy" and "Annual Report on Directors' Remuneration" published on the Company's website.
The following is the average remuneration of the Directors in their capacity as such, in 2019 financial year:
| TOTAL AVERAGE | AVERAGE FOR MEN | AVERAGE FOR WOMEN | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| € thousand | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 | |
| PERMANENT | 237.1 | 194.7 | 256.9 | 197.5 | 187.7 | 187.7 | |
| ALLOWANCE | 39.9 | 38.4 | 44.7 | 42.9 | 27.7 | 27.0 | |
| TOTAL | 277.0 | 233.1 | 301.7 | 240.4 | 215.5 | 214.7 |
The Board of Directors of ENDESA consists of 11 Directors. However, the data are calculated on the seven Directors (5 men and 2 women) who receive remuneration as such. The other 4 remaining Directors (all men) have renounced any payment as Directors in their capacity as such and that is why, in order not to distort the average, their inclusion has not been considered.
In ENDESA there is no gender gap in the remuneration of Directors, since the amounts of the remuneration items are the same for men and women. The difference of 29% in the average remuneration is due to two fundamental reasons: on the one hand, in the "fixed" concept to the fact that the positions of Chair of the Committees and Coordinating Director have an additional remuneration and in the case of ENDESA said positions are not held by any women and on the other hand, in the item "allowances" to which they are associated with belonging to the Board Committees or not and attending meetings.
Integrity and ethical conduct constitute fundamental pillars to guarantee the responsible management of a Company. In recent years, the ethical conduct practices of listed Companies have become subject to increasing scrutiny by markets, regulators and society in general. ENDESA's financial performance is conditioned, among other factors, to strict compliance with ethical norms and principles, both internally and externally. In this way, ethical conduct allows ENDESA to build trust between its shareholders and investors, and it becomes a brand differentiation factor that builds customer loyalty, factors that are reflected in the economic results and that contribute to consolidating the leadership position and reference ENDESA holds in the market.
In this sense, in the consultations carried out by ENDESA to its most relevant stakeholders, the following aspects related to integrity management and ethical conduct have been identified among the most relevant: integrity in the organisational model and management of good corporate behaviour, transparency in communication (financial, fiscal and sustainability) and in the relationship with institutions.
ENDESA, through its ENDESA Sustainability Plan and the implementation of its ethical compliance model, responds to these expectations and establishes objectives and actions aimed at this end.
The following is a summary of the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan linked to priorities in the field of ethical conduct, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan.
The full detail of all the objectives in the field of integrity and ethical conduct included in the Sustainability Plans will be included in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

Endesa is fully committed to compliance with ethical principles and all legislation and regulations in force governing its relations with its stakeholders, and in all its activities.
The Company has a Code of Ethics, a Zero Tolerance to Corruption Plan and other regulations in accordance with the most advanced "compliance" models, which include the values, commitments and ethical responsibilities binding upon all its collaborators. In addition, among other aspects, Endesa has established specific action protocols in order to guide the actions of its employees regarding accepting and offering gifts, and in dealings with public officials and authorities.
Endesa also has a crime prevention model that complies with the regulations applicable to the group regarding corporate criminal liability. The document "General Principles for the Prevention of Criminal Risks" summarises the guiding principles of action applicable to all employees, which reflect key values of the company to achieve its business objectives and prevent the materialisation of criminal risks within the company.
The Code of Ethics, the Zero Tolerance Plan with Corruption, the General Principles for the Prevention of Criminal Risks, the Protocol of Good Practices in dealing with public officials and authorities and Corporate Integrity Protocols can be consulted on the web: https://www.ENDESA.com/es/accionistas-e-inversores/gobierno-corporativo/conducta-etica
The Code of Ethics is composed of:

Likewise, according to the Code of Ethics, Endesa does not finance parties, their representatives or candidates in Spain or abroad, nor does it sponsor congresses or parties whose sole purpose is political propaganda.
Additionally, ENDESA refrains from any type of direct or indirect pressure on political exponents (for example, through public concessions to ENDESA, acceptance of suggestions for hiring, consultancy contracts, etc.).
ENDESA has a plan against corruption; the Zero Tolerance Plan with Corruption that represents the specific commitment of the Company in the fight against corruption and full rejection of any form in which it is manifested, in compliance with the tenth principle of the Global Compact, to which ENDESA adheres: "Companies are committed to fighting corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery."
In 2017, the "Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Policy" was added to the above internal regulatory instruments, which, together with those mentioned above, make up the ENDESA group's "Criminal and Anti-Bribery Compliance Management System". This is an integrated body of provisions that not only complies with Spanish legal requirements in this area, but is also sufficient to meet the expectations reasonably placed on organisations that operate with the highest levels of commitment in advanced markets, such as the ENDESA group.
ENDESA is aware that certain criminal acts that are identified under the generic name of "bribes" constitute a phenomenon that, among other effects, raises serious moral, economic and political concerns, undermines good governance, hinders development, destroys trust in institutions and interferes with the correct and efficient functioning of markets. Therefore, the Criminal Regulatory Compliance System pays special attention to the prevention, detection and adequate reaction against such strictly prohibited conduct, conveying the importance of the entire Organisation's contribution to the fight against all forms of "bribery".
The main actions that, on a permanent basis, ENDESA will develop for the effective application of the Criminal Regulatory Compliance System are:
ENDESA has a Criminal Risk Prevention and Anti-Corruption Model (hereinafter, the "Model"), which provides the Company with a control system with the objective of preventing or significantly reducing the risk of committing crimes within its business activity, in compliance with the provisions of the Criminal Code regarding criminal liability of the legal entity, a regime introduced in the Spanish legal system in 2010.
The Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC) is the body responsible for monitoring the operation and compliance of the Model and the functions performed by the Supervisory Committee, which is responsible, among other tasks, for monitoring and updating the Model. The Supervisory

Committee is composed of the Director General of Audit, the Secretary General and the Board of Directors (which is its Chairman), the Director General of Corporate Legal Advice and Compliance, the Director of Business Legal Counsel and the Director General of Human Resources and Organisation.
During 2019 the Supervisory Committee met on 3 occasions, and in these sessions the main issues related to the Criminal Risk Prevention and Anti-Corruption Model were followed, including the intervention of those responsible for different areas of the Company to inform to the Committee on relevant aspects within its purview.
At the beginning of each fiscal year, the Supervisory Committee prepares an Activities Programme in which priorities are established based on qualitative criteria based on a risk approach, for the development of which, and by virtue of the powers conferred and the required specialisation is supported by the Audit, Legal Advisory and People and Organisation General Directorates. In addition, on an annual basis, the Committee submits a report on the execution of the programme to the Audit and Compliance Committee (CAC), including details of the activities carried out and conclusions reached.
The activities carried out in 2019 include:
From the activities carried out during the year, it is concluded that ENDESA's Criminal Risk and Anti-Corruption Prevention Model is operational in all the relevant Group Companies and is being executed effectively, being generally adequate to mitigate commission risks of the offenses established in the applicable regulations.
During the year 2019, all the processes established for the correct application of the ethical code have been fully complied with by society. During 2019, ENDESA has received, either through the Ethics Channel or by other means, a total of 11 complaints of different types. Of these, 7 had to do with corruption or fraud. The investigation of all of them was closed during the same year or in January 2020.
Of the complaints related to corruption and fraud which were received and closed, 2 breaches of the Code of Ethics have been verified, which have been referred for management by a specialist, following the established protocol.

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | ||

ENDESA is not within the subjective scope of Law 10/2010, of 28 April on prevention of money laundering and terrorist financing (Article 2) and other regulations for the development of the same, or applicable EU regulations, all of this without prejudice to full respect for the legal provisions in said matter as they were applicable in ENDESA commercial trade.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ENDESA Criminal Risk and Anti-Corruption Prevention Model, which constitutes a structured and organic system of surveillance and control procedures and activities suitable for preventing the commission of crimes, expressly establishes the crime under its scope of application money laundering, which is considered adequate and sufficient measure to prevent the commission of such criminal offences, in response to ENDESA's activity. The ENDESA Model includes 24 specific control activities against the risk of money laundering, in different Group Companies.
As a key element of the Model, ENDESA promotes a culture of compliance through the training of employees in this area. Accordingly, the Company has launched an online course on the Model, whose content deals with the crimes under the Spanish Criminal Code that involve criminal responsibility for the legal entity, with a focus on those that are applicable in the context of ENDESA, among which money laundering is considered.
The aforementioned Model has, since October 2017, with the UNE-19601/2017 certification referred to "Compliance Management Systems", as well as with the UNE-ISO 37001/2017 certification referred to "Anti-bribery Management Systems" that has been renewed for the years 2018 and 2019.
Additionally, there are policies and procedures that regulate certain processes of the Company that could have risks related to money laundering.
In 2019 ENDESA has identified the decarbonisation of the energy mix and the minimisation of environmental impacts as the most relevant environmental issues for the promotion of a sustainable business model and, therefore, on which the Company must continue moving forward in order to meet with the expectations expressed by the stakeholders in the consultations carried out in the framework of the 2019 materiality study.
ENDESA, aware of its role in the fight against climate change and its ability to contribute to a low carbon economy, places among its priorities the progressive reduction of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions associated with the generation of electric energy, through a greater role of renewable energy and optimising the management of traditional technologies. All this without losing sight of the public commitment to achieve the decarbonisation of the energy mix in 2050, which will be achieved following the roadmap set for the new update of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, which entails an increase in the level of ambition of the intermediate commitments of this road map.
The care of the environment and the minimisation of environmental impacts have become one of the main shaping factors of the state of opinion regarding the Companies in the sector. Likewise, the regulations have intensified significantly, which has led to an increase in the level of demand required of companies in their performance to minimise their environmental footprint. In this sense, ENDESA, always committed to excellence in environmental management, continues to assume among its environmental priorities aspects such as the improvement of air quality, the efficient use of energy and the promotion of responsible consumption of water resources.
ENDESA incorporates the material aspects detected in its sustainability plans, and establishes quantitative objectives aimed at promoting excellence in their management, thus allowing assessment of the level of commitment and performance achieved.
In this regard, the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) linked to the described environmental priorities is summarised below, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES).
The full detail of all the environmental objectives included in the Sustainability Plans will be collected in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

ENDESA considers environmental excellence to be a fundamental value of its business culture, and in January 2020 its Board of Directors approved an update of its Environmental Policy, the first version of which dates back to 1998, to adapt it to the current context and the demands of its commitment to combating global warming. ENDESA carries on its activities respecting the environment and in accordance with the principles of sustainable development, and is firmly committed to the conservation and sustainable use of resources in line with the principles of the circular economy.
In fulfilling its environmental commitments, ENDESA identifies, evaluates and manages the environmental aspects and impacts deriving from its activities, striving to minimise the negative and maximise the positive effects by applying the following basic principles of action, which constitute the foundations of its Environmental Policy:

Global warming has already increased by 1°C compared to pre-industrial levels, and is likely to exceed 1.5°C between 2030 and 2050 if it continues to grow at the current rate, according to estimates by the Intergovernmental Group of Experts on Change Climate (IPCC), something that would have catastrophic consequences for the planet and threaten civilisation as we know it. However, despite this negative message, science is keeping an open door to hope, and this same group in its special report at the end of 2018 states that a world with a temperature increase limited to 1.5°C is still possible, although a radical and urgent transformation of all economic systems on an unprecedented scale is necessary to achieve this.
To address this challenge requires the proactive collaboration of all stakeholders, including governments, businesses, financial institutions and civil society. In this context, the role of the business sector is essential, since it is responsible for most global emissions, while having a unique ability to develop innovative solutions to reduce them on a large scale. In particular, the electricity sector can contribute proactively by promoting not only the reduction of GHG emissions in the electricity production process, but also supporting the decarbonisation of other industries and services by promoting the electrification of energy demand.
For ENDESA, the fight against climate change is one of the biggest challenges that companies must face in their most immediate future, and it has joined that momentum taken by the energy sector in full awareness of its leading role.
ENDESA is part of a leadership context in the fight against global warming by the European Union, and proof of this has been its leading role in the United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP 25) held in Madrid on 2-13 December 2019 under the presidency of Chile, which

had as a central theme of work to address the need to increase the ambition in terms of mitigation of limiting the increase in global temperature to below 1.5°C, which means achieving climate neutrality by 2050, to which ENDESA is contributing through its goal of zero emissions.
ENDESA has been one of the main sponsors of this and has actively participated in the climate change event by regularly following the negotiations and presenting its vision and experience in several events that it has organised and others in which it has actively participated, both on the COP site and at its headquarters in Madrid, addressing such necessary issues as the fair transition, the circular economy, the decarbonisation of isolated electrical systems, emission offsetting projects such as the ENDESA Forest, or the financing of the sector.
Decarbonisation is the main challenge facing ENDESA in the coming years. The conclusions of the materiality analysis carried out in 2019 confirm the relevance of this aspect for its stakeholders, as well as the need that they convey for the Company to make an important commitment in this regard. All this is specified in the responsible management of issues related to climate change in order to establish an industrial plan and a subsequent sustainability plan that respond to this aspect, making a commitment to a new sustainable energy model, based on the electrification of demand, since this is the most efficient energy vector, and based on renewable energy.
The ENDESA Strategic Plan aims to consolidate its leadership position in the markets in which it operates taking into account the impact of climate change on the energy business model, and the transition to a new energy ecosystem, reducing the risks it represents for its business and maximising the opportunities that this transition and this new ecosystem are going to offer. This plan is formalised through highly ambitious objectives that contribute significantly to the fight against climate change and involve the alignment of the company with the objectives of the Paris Agreement and with the latest findings of science. Proof of this is the commitment to decarbonisation of its energy mix with a sustainable approach in which it contributes to SDGs 7 (Affordable and non-polluting energy) and 13 (Climate Action) establishing an ambitious goal of 100% decarbonisation of the generation mix in the year 2050 with intermediate milestones, reaching a 70% reduction in specific CO2 emissions by 2030 compared to 2017.
In the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, presented on 27 November 2019, ENDESA increases its ambition and establishes the objective of increasing by more than 38% the capacity installed in renewables in 2022 with an associated investment of €3.8 billion, as well as the commitment to work in a smooth transition towards decarbonisation, guaranteeing security of supply, avoiding new inefficient investments in fossil fuels and putting dates on a road map of 99% reduction in coal activity by 2022 and a complete cessation of its activity in the year 2030. In order to achieve it, steps were already taken in 2019, such as the closure of the Alcudia 1 and 2 facilities, the commitment to close Compostilla and Teruel by 30 June 2020 and the closure request submitted to the currently-entitled Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge on 27 December 2019 for the As Pontes and Litoral plants 1.
ENDESA is committed to contributing to the transition being fair and the creation of sustainable and decent jobs. A zero-emission economic system in the second half of the current century, as foreseen in the Paris Agreement, will require major technological, social and economic transformations. For this reason there needs to be a fair transition, in which jobs are sustainable and decent, greenhouse gas emissions can be neutral, poverty is eliminated and communities are prosperous and resilient.
1The company reserves the right to withdraw this application, either wholly or in part, in the event that, as a result of additional combustion tests to be conducted with different fuel mixtures in the coming months at both the As Pontes and Carboneras plants, the results vary and guarantee the viability of the plants.

ENDESA is fully convinced that decarbonisation is a real opportunity for society as a whole, but it is essential that the transition be understood by all as a benefit, and not as a change that will be beneficial to some and harmful to others. Therefore, forward-looking policies need to be developed to take advantage of these opportunities and ensure a fair transition for all, leaving no one behind. Collaboration between governments, the private sector, civil society and other stakeholders will be essential to achieve the climate objectives set out in the Paris Agreement following an inclusive approach.
In this context, ENDESA has demonstrated its commitment by signing in September 2019 its adherence to the United Nations commitment in the area of Fair Transition under the "Climate Action for Work" initiative that Spain leads together with Peru and entities such as the ILO.
ENDESA has been working to implement an inclusive energy transition, and to that end it accompanies its requests to close with voluntary projects with actions to mitigate the impact caused by the decrease in activity, aimed at promoting the development of economic activities and generation of employment in the areas where the plants are located.
Transport emissions in Spain have increased by almost 50% since 1990. The transport sector is one of the main sources of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the Spanish economy, accounting for about 27% of national emissions, according to the National Inventory Report of Greenhouse Gas Emissions for the year 2018 published in January 2020 by the Ministry for Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge. That is why one of the basic objectives of the future Law on Climate Change and Energy Transition will be to promote a policy of sustainable mobility and transport. From this we can deduce that the fundamental challenge of developed societies, in terms of mobility, is to evolve towards low-carbon economic models and reduce pollution, mainly in cities. ENDESA aspires to lead the response to this challenge through the promotion of electrification of energy demand and efficient consumption, developing plans and programmes aimed at promoting electric mobility, smart grids and energy efficiency.
ENDESA has been considering the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure (TCFD) since the appearance of the final report in June 2017 when reporting its climate change management. However, given the importance that this initiative has taken, to the point of becoming a benchmark for investors, institutions and society in general, ENDESA has decided to incorporate in this non-financial information statement the following sections, which follow the structure of core elements contained in the final report of recommendations, to detail in a more clearly identifiable way how it is responding satisfactorily to the recommendations of the TCFD.
The energy sector, which is partly responsible for climate change, will also be affected by its incidence, since its consequences will impact the entire value chain, from generation to distribution. For this reason, ENDESA integrates this vision not only as an element in its environmental (and climate) management policy but as a component with weight in its decisionmaking at the business level and determination of its strategies, which means that decisions are taken at the highest levels of management.
ENDESA establishes its strategic plans taking into account geopolitical, regulatory and technological macro-trends, placing special emphasis on the markets in which it operates, and considering the risks and opportunities it faces (taking into account operational, technological,

market and transition aspects, and physical risks, among others). Climate change and the energy transition is one of the main pillars of the Company's strategy, and it is the Board of Directors that is responsible for its development and implementation. Likewise, ENDESA has established an incentive system for its executives related to the Company's performance in the management of climate change. In the Strategic Incentive Plan, whose participants are the Executive Directors of the Company, as well as executives whose participation is considered essential in the achievement of the Strategic Plan, one of the objectives is directly linked to the reduction of specific CO2 emissions whose compliance determines 10% of the incentive. This objective is reviewed annually, with each long-term incentive plan, being the last objective approved for the previous 2019-2021 Plan, in line with the industrial objectives contemplated in the previous 2019- 2021 Strategic Plan, of 332.2 gCO2/kWh (ENDESA's specific CO2 emissions in Spain and Portugal in 2021, understood as the ratio between absolute CO2 emissions due to ENDESA's electricity generation and ENDESA's total net production for that year.)
The intergovernmental group of experts on climate change (IPCC) issued a special report at the end of 2018 that states that to limit global warming to 1.5°C, "fast and powerful" transitions would be needed on land, energy, industry, buildings, transport and cities, and that it would be necessary for global net CO2 emissions of human origin to decrease by 45% compared to 2010 levels by 2030, and to continue to decrease until reaching "zero net emissions" approximately by 2050.
In September 2019, ENEL, ENDESA's parent company, certified climate-based scientific objectives, SBTi, committing to reduce its direct greenhouse gas emissions by 70%2 per kWh by 2030, taking 2017 as the reference year. Also, by 2030, ENEL has pledged to reduce by 16% its indirect emissions related to the sale of natural gas in the retail market, also taking 2017 as the reference year.
Taking the IPCC report as a reference, and considering the objectives certified with a scientific basis by ENEL, ENDESA has defined its new 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, with which it aspires to become a leader in the global transformation process and to contribute decisively to the collective objective of reducing global warming to 1.5°C. Among the strategic pillars defined by ENDESA are:
The Company is aware that the path towards an efficient and sustainable energy model will be possible thanks to a greater presence in the renewable energy generation mix, and the electrification of demand. Within the path of electrification of demand, and with special emphasis on transport, it provides for its installation of 36,000 charging points in its Strategic Plan.
2 The commitment is equivalent to reducing CO2 emissions to 125 g per kWh by 2030 compared to 411 g recorded in the reference year (2017).

The development and management of renewable energies of ENDESA in Spain is carried out through ENEL Green Power España (100% owned by ENDESA), the fourth-largest Spanish operator in the Spanish renewable energy sector.
At the end of 2019 ENEL Green Power Spain had 2,723 MW of gross installed renewable power, of which 2,291 MW corresponded to wind power, 80 MW to mini hydro, 352 MW to photovoltaic and 0.5 MW to biogas plants, with a joint production during 2019 of 4,369 GWh. This capacity is joined by 4,668 MW gross installed capacity of large-scale hydropower. Production with renewable sources represents 16.4% of the total production of the Company.
The process of identifying risks and opportunities includes those related to climate change, from its more short-term side (transition risks, related to regulation, new technologies, market changes and reputation), to its more long-term side (those related to the potential physical impacts related to climate change). These risks are evaluated based on established risk tolerance levels, considering: exposure (climate impacts that could affect the facilities), sensitivity (potential effects and their consequences for business and facilities), and vulnerability (adaptive capacity for overcome the impacts of climate change considering financial, technological and knowledge requirements).
In this context ENDESA has decided to use recognised climate scenarios to assess the flexibility and resilience of its Strategic Plan. For the physical risks, the climatic scenarios published in the fifth report of the IPCC are used, while for the transition risks, the National Integrated Energy and Climate Plans of Spain and Portugal are used.
In any case, ENDESA as a company has been a pioneer in the field. In 2009, it launched its first project in order to analyse and assess the vulnerability of all its businesses and facilities globally, which is why it was chosen by the former Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment (currently the Ministry for Transition Ecological and the Demographic Challenge) as a representative of the energy sector for the ADAPTA I and II initiative. After this, ENDESA has continued to work more deeply on the matter, participating in multiple international initiatives and developing projects related to innovation in urban resilience in the face of climate change (RESCCUE project, a new European system to fight against natural disasters); the analysis of the implications of the global change in the hydroelectric business and the surrounding ecosystems (HIDSOS project); the development of early warning systems against climate change (ANYWHERE project, included in the EU H2020 initiative); or the analysis and monetisation of the effect of climate change on the integrity and operation of electricity distribution infrastructure elements.
ENDESA has a risk management and control policy, approved by the Board of Directors, which serves as a general framework for action. The policy regulates all stages of the process, including identification, evaluation, prioritisation and management, as well as constant supervision and control. All the risks to which ENDESA is exposed, financial and non-financial, are covered by the policy, including risks related to climate change (for more information see the chapter Internal Control and Risk Management System of this Statement).
All organisational levels are involved in the process of identifying and assessing risks, in a coordinated manner and directed by the Company's risk control system. Each line of business and facility identifies and evaluates the risks and opportunities that arise from its activities, including those derived from its geographical location. Specifically for climate change, risks are assessed based on established levels of risk tolerance, considering: exposure (climate impacts that could affect facilities), sensitivity (potential effects and their consequences for business or

facilities), and vulnerability (ability to adapt to overcome the impacts of climate change in view of financial, technological and knowledge-related requirements).
The calculation of ENDESA's Carbon Footprint is an essential element of information and transparency that helps to manage the risks and opportunities before our Company in order to eliminate the emission of GHG in a global and integrated way.
The objective of the calculation of the Carbon Footprint must be to know the reality and impact in terms of Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions from the Company's activities, as well as the emissions associated with the full business value chain, allowing the incorporation of the "carbon component" within decision-making.
The Company has been calculating its Carbon Footprint, covering all its business lines, as well as its offices, since 2009. In addition, since 2013, ENDESA has been registering its Carbon Footprint in the National Carbon Footprint Register of the Spanish Office of Climate Change, a symbol of transparency and commitment by the Company in the fight against climate change.
After the verification of the calculation of the Carbon Footprint corresponding to the 2018 financial year, it has moved ahead with inclusion in the Carbon Footprint Register, carbon dioxide offsetting and absorption projects by the Ministry for Ecological Transition (MITECO). The objective of this register is to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions at the national level, to increase the absorption by carbon sinks in Spanish national territory and thus to facilitate the fulfilment of the international commitments assumed by Spain in terms of climate change.
ENDESA for the second consecutive year has achieved the activation of the seal in its three areas, "calculate", "reduce" and "offset", through the "ENDESA Forest" initiative, which seeks the restoration of degraded or burned forest areas with native and resilient species, and with which the emissions associated with ENDESA photovoltaic plants have been offset.
It should be noted that it remains the only project in the energy sector to obtain registration accompanied by the activation of the seal in all its phases (Calculate, Reduce and Offset) in the Carbon Footprint Register, offsetting and absorption projects of the Spanish Climate Change Office (OECC) of the Ministry for Ecological Transition.
Scope 1 of the carbon footprint includes direct emissions of greenhouse gases, that is, those from sources controlled by the Company. Specifically, emissions from electricity production in thermal generation plants, use of SF6, methane leaks generated in hydraulic plant reservoirs, office air conditioning and its own fleet are included.
Scope 2 of the carbon footprint includes technical losses produced during the distribution of electrical energy not generated by the Company.
Scope 3 of the carbon footprint includes those emissions which are not produced by sources controlled by ENDESA, but which are the result of its activity. Within this scope, it is worth highlighting the emissions derived from the use of marketed natural gas.
The 2019 emissions data for the three scopes are subject to change due to the fact that at the time of publication of this Statement, the external verification process is being carried out according to the requirements of the UNE EN ISO 14064 standard. The data for the years 2017 and 2018 have already been verified.

| 2019 | 17,470,846 | 723,653 | 27,675,782 |
(1) The scope 1, 2 and 3 emission data corresponding to the year 2018 have been updated, providing the data obtained after the completion of the external verification process.
The Company annually updates the ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES), reacting to the changes that occur in climate and energy policies, and renewing its reduction objectives accordingly, always with the idea of going beyond and complying with the challenge of curbing climate change. As we have already described in the chapter Organisation of the ENDESA group in section 1.8 of the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, ENDESA has a firm commitment to contribute to the development of a new energy model and therefore establishes in its 2020-2022 PES intermediate objectives that will allow it to reach 100% emission-free production by 2050.

For ENDESA, sustainable development is an essential pillar of its strategy, including environmental protection as one of its most important commitments. This attitude constitutes a sign of positive and differential identity for the Company, since it is a fundamental principle of behaviour that is expressly included in its business values.
Through this commitment the aim is to minimise the impact of ENDESA's industrial activity on the natural environment in which it operates. Fundamentally, it addresses aspects related to the fight against climate change, adequate waste management, air emissions, discharges, contaminated soils and other potential negative impacts.

In addition, ENDESA's environmental management aims at the sustainable use of natural and energy resources, betting on the protection of biodiversity and the ecosystems of the environments where it operates.
The evaluation of the environmental risks associated with the development of the company's activities and the environmental certifications granted by external entities help ensure excellence in ENDESA's environmental management, which is integrated and aligned with its corporate strategy.
In a broad sense, the impact of ENDESA's activities has diminished significantly in recent years, as can be seen in the following sections of the document, as a result of the actions carried out as a result of the commitment acquired by the Company with decarbonisation, which includes the gradual abandonment of the use of certain fuels, as well as investments to adapt the facilities to the new regulatory requirements. Specifically, in 2019, reductions of 93% in specific SO2 emissions, 52% in specific NOx emissions and 86% in specific particle emissions have been achieved, in all cases compared to 2005, reductions that imply a comfortable compliance with the applicable environmental legislation. As established in the 2020-2022 PES, ENDESA has established certain paths in which these pollutants will continue to decrease, reaching a 96% reduction in specific SO2 emissions in 2022, of 59% in specific NOx emissions and 89% in specific particle emissions, all values compared to 2005.
The achievement of the 2020-2022 ENDESA Strategic Plan, which reinforces the commitment to decarbonisation by 2050, will allow to further reduce the impact of the Company's activities, while contributing to reducing the impact of other sectors of the economy, which the Company wants to accompany in its decarbonisation process via electrification, highlighting in an important way the transport sector, which will contribute to Sustainable Development Goal 3, which focuses on health and well-being.
ENDESA, as explicitly stated in its Environmental Policy, is committed to achieving excellence in the environmental management of its business activity throughout the entire value chain. Therefore, it has maintained in its 2019-2021 Sustainability Plan the objective of maintaining 100% of its generation and distribution facilities certified by the International Standard ISO 14001. This objective, which was fully met in 2019, is maintained in the new 2020-2022 PES.
ENDESA makes a major investment effort to achieve excellence in environmental management. Thus, during 2019, ENDESA's investments in environmental activities reached €131 million, which contributed to an increase in accumulated investment by 7.7% in 2019.
ENDESA is subject to environmental regulations, which affect both the normal course of its operations and the development of its projects, leading to increased risks and costs. Additionally, ENDESA is exposed to environmental risks inherent in its business, which include the risks arising from the management of waste, discharges and emissions from the electrical production units and therefore can be held liable for damages to the environment, for damages to its employees or third parties, or for any other type of damage associated with its power generation, supply and distribution facilities, as well as the activities at port terminals.
In 2019 ENDESA began the implementation of a new methodology of "Assessment of Environmental Aspects, Impacts and Risks", which is applicable to all ENDESA businesses. Starting from the result of the evaluation of the significance of environmental aspects (as defined

in the Environmental Management Systems corresponding to each business), the methodology incorporates the consideration of other aspects of an organisational, strategic, economic, reputational nature, etc. associated with the activity and infrastructure of the businesses. Legal compliance is also evaluated, as well as the effectiveness of the operational controls (technical, documentary, etc.) implemented, so that finally a "residual risk" assessment is obtained. The different levels of resulting final risk determine the obligation to launch specific action plans to mitigate the associated environmental risks. The results of this evaluation allow the levels of environmental risk resulting among different facilities, businesses, etc. to be compared.
It should be highlighted that annually and within the framework of Environmental Management Systems, according to the requirement of ISO 14001:2015, each business carries out an identification and evaluation of environmental aspects and an identification and evaluation of risks and opportunities. The former seeks to identify the environmental aspects associated with the activities that it carries out, evaluate the significance of the environmental aspects identified and determine which environmental aspects generate or might generate significant environmental impacts in order to give them adequate treatment and control. The latter aims to define the methodology for the identification, evaluation and management of risks and opportunities within the activity that will ensure that the expected results are achieved by mitigating the identified risks and enhancing the opportunities; in short, that continuous improvement is achieved.
The Company also has an environmental responsibility policy that covers personal and/or material damage to third parties, and also covers damage to Biodiversity according to EU Directive 35/2004 and equivalent National Legislation (Law 26/2007 of Environmental Responsibility).
The following sections show the evolution of the most representative environmental indicators of ENDESA's activity. Its evolution during the year 2019 has been positive. A decrease in the absolute values is observed as a result of a lower operation of the thermal power plants, but also a decrease in the specific values, fruit of the Company's investment efforts focused on reducing the environmental impact of its activity.
The decrease in CO2 emissions is due to a lower operation during the year 2019 of coal thermal power plants due to the profound change in market conditions that has led to these plants having suffered a significant lack of competitiveness in the coverage of market demand and, consequently, their exclusion from it has been accentuated.

The emissions data for the year 2019 has been extracted from the last Annual Notification Report of each of the ENDESA thermal power plants, according to the version available as of the date of preparation of this Non-Financial Information Statement. This data could be subject to minor

adjustments as a result of the ongoing verification process by AENOR, prior to submission to the competent Public Administrations before 28 February.
In addition to the decrease in pollutant emissions in 2019 due to a lower operation of thermal power plants, a significant decrease in specific emissions is observed thanks to the implementation of efficiency and environmental protection measures in the facilities.

ENDESA has an exhaustive control system for all its emissions to control them in real time and ensure compliance with emission limit values at all times. For this, it carries out an exhaustive control and maintenance of the chimney measurement equipment and submits them to annual inspections carried out by external accredited laboratories. The Company meets the parameters required by the regulations applicable, implements technology to minimise emissions, and applies corrective measures to the impacts generated.
ENDESA has carried out major actions and procedures at the plants focused on complying with the emission levels required by the industrial emissions regulations during its operation in 2019, such as:

installation of Jensen fuel filters which improve combustion in turbines, reducing particle emissions. Additionally, in order to reduce NOx emissions, a water injection system has been installed in gas turbines 3, 4 and 5. In order to minimise the consumption of a scarce commodity such as water, this will be obtained from the discharge of the WWTP from the neighbouring city of Mahón. This last phase of the project is currently being undertaken.
– Finally, mention the closure of Alcudia 1 and 2 dated January 1, 2020, the planned closure of Compostilla thermal power plant and Teruel thermal power plant by mid-2020, as well as the closing request submitted by the Company for As Pontes thermal power plant and Carboneras thermal power plant at the end of 2019. This request accompanied by a reservation of right of withdrawal, total or partial, in the event that, as a result of additional combustion tests with different fuel mixtures, the results could be varied and the viability of the plants guaranteed.
In addition to the large investments aimed at reducing emission levels, ENDESA's facilities continue to make small modifications within the process of continuous improvement in order to optimise emission control systems and reduce them. The most notable action of the year 2019 is:
– In the field of automatic measurement systems: ENDESA facilities have continued with the calibration and verification of the automatic measurement systems of their facilities under EN-UNE Standard 14181. Throughout 2019, a pilot project was developed at the Los Guinchos diesel power plant for the replacement of the analysers of one of its generator sets with a new hot measurement system at 180ºC, without prior sample cooling, which significantly reduces the maintenance of the analysers and improves their reliability and availability. Similarly, the combined cycle plants in San Roque and Cristobal Colon have replaced their automatic measurement systems in order to increase their reliability.
The success of the implementation of all the mentioned measures is observed in the results obtained for the environmental indicators related to air pollution in 2019.
The materials used to produce electricity are mainly fuels and are considered non-renewable. A lower consumption is observed in almost all fuels except in natural gas, associated with a greater functioning of the combined cycles.

The table includes fuels consumed in all ENDESA activities. It is worth mentioning the use in electricity generation (all fuels), electricity distribution (diesel) and to a lesser extent in buildings (diesel and natural gas) and vehicle fleet (diesel).
The organisation's energy consumption is associated with the fuels consumed for all ENDESA activities. In this sense, the table includes the consumption corresponding to the processes of generation, distribution and sale of electricity. In accordance with the reporting criterion of indicator GRI 302-1, the electrical consumption of the generation, distribution and office facilities is not reported since they are supplied with the electricity produced by the organisation itself.
There is a decrease in the total value of energy consumption derived from a lower operation of coal-fired power plants during the year 2019.

Energy intensity has been calculated considering internal energy consumption. The energy intensity value is affected by the proportion in the different generation technologies and the operation of each of them in the year. Continuing with the criteria established in 2018, in this year the energy consumption derived from Uranium was also included in the calculation. There was a decrease in the Company's energy intensity, which is the result of the continuous improvement actions that the Company is applying in all its processes.

In 2019 ENDESA has saved 17,846 GJ of energy thanks to the development of energy efficiency improvement programmes. Among the programmes focused on the conservation and adaptation of the equipment, standouts include the modifications in the lighting systems that have been transformed to LED systems, as well as in the air conditioning systems of the buildings. This year the actions regarding the redesign of processes in the thermal power plants, as well as the actions

in the distribution facilities, are also very important. This energy saving means a decrease in the Company's carbon footprint and contributes to the reduction of the business operating costs.

Additionally, ENDESA has implemented measures related to the mobility of its employees, which have had an important impact measured in reducing energy consumption. We should highlight among these types of actions the collective transport in generation centres and the employee mobility plan. The energy savings associated with these measures was 38,066 GJ.
For the year 2019, external energy consumption was estimated at 63.39 TJ, considering the fuel expenditure of the vehicles of the suppliers that work regularly with ENDESA, and considering the same perimeter as in previous years. The calculation is made based on the carbon footprint tool that is verified by AENOR according to UNE EN ISO 14064. The data are subject to some modification because at the time of publication of this Statement the external verification process is being carried out according to the requirements of the UNE EN ISO 14064 standard.
The consumption of process water decreased compared to 2018 due to a lower performance of thermal generation technologies. In the case of nuclear generation, in 2019 there was increased production, and consequently there was a slight increase in water consumption.

The limit values under which both the noise and light pollution parameters must be found are established in the environmental legislation and, in a consistent manner, the applicable limits are included in the authorisations of the different ENDESA facilities. Assurance of maintenance of the values within regulated margins is achieved through environmental management systems certified by independent third parties.

ENDESA's vision of the circular economy integrates a new approach throughout the entire value chain based on the use of sustainable resources (renewable, reusable and recyclable), in maximising the useful life of goods and products and their use factor, and in the recovery of assets at the end of their life cycle. The representation of this vision can be shown through the five pillars of ENDESA of the Circular Economy:
ENDESA's public commitment to the circular economy materialised with the early accession to the Pact for a Circular Economy in November 2017, promoted by the then-Ministries of Agriculture and Fisheries, Food and Environment, and of Economy, Industry and Competitiveness.
ENDESA's most outstanding action towards a change in the circular model is its commitment to the decarbonisation of the generation mix by 2050, with an intermediate objective in 2030 to generate 75% of the electricity CO2 emission-free; aspiring to reach an energy model based on the consumption of renewable energy sources. Consequently, not only is efficiency increased and emissions and pollution reduced, but the consumption of raw materials is minimised by using renewable resources.
In the decarbonisation process itself, the principles of the Circular Economy are being applied, among which a highlight is the Futur-e programme: an initiative for the installations of thermal power plants that have ceased or are slated to cease operation. The objective is to identify new alternative uses for existing sites, through investments by the Company or a third party that create value for local communities, according to the potential and priorities of the territory to which they belong. This whole process is managed in an open, transparent and participatory manner. Only circular projects that meet the economic, environmental and social requirements reach the final phase of selection.
In addition, in relation to internal mobility, the Company has approved a sustainable and safe mobility plan (2018-2020) with two fundamental objectives such as reducing the number of

kilometres travelled and electrifying the transport of its employees and fleets. The programmes in this plan related to the circular economy are:
ENDESA has environmental management systems in place that include specific operating procedures for the management of waste produced by all its activities, which are continuously reviewed to detect and drive improvements.
ENDESA works from its Environmental Management System for Energy Efficiency and Indoor Air Quality (SIGAEC) to promote the prevention, recycling and use of waste, as well as the use of less polluting materials, with the ultimate goal of not wasting natural resources, and also guaranteeing the correct management and destination of waste generated at ENDESA offices. In 2019 this certificate has been renewed confirming the effectiveness of SIGAEC and the remarkable effort made since its implementation in 2004.
Regarding the non-hazardous waste generated in our offices, paper and cardboard, plastic containers and metal containers are recovered 100%, and municipal solid waste is recovered 70% as a result of the segregation at origin performed by all employees. The following table shows the amounts of waste generated:
| Type of waste (kg) | ||
|---|---|---|
| MSW | 235,874 | |
| PAPER AND CARDBOARD | 51,700 | |
| PLASTIC BOTTLES | 15,997 | |
| METAL CONTAINERS | 480 | |
| TOTAL Non-hazardous waste | 304,051 |
A notable initiative due to its transversal nature is the Zero Plastics project, which aims to minimise the consumption of single-use plastics in the Company, as well as promoting a change in culture and habits among ENDESA employees in relation to use of plastics. The initiative was launched in May 2019 at all ENDESA administrative offices, which has meant, among other benefits, the elimination of 232,700 plastic cups and the reduction of the consumption of bottled water by 64% at the Madrid head office. All the measures implemented have so far prevented the generation of 5.5 tonnes of single-use plastic waste, which represents a 45% reduction.
Throughout 2019, they have continued to be implemented and various actions have been launched in thermal power plants aimed at continuous improvement and efficiency of combustion

facilities. These specific actions necessarily entail a spontaneous increase in the generation of certain waste.
The most common waste produced by ENDESA's activity (without considering coal combustion products) is construction and demolition waste, water treatment sludge and metallic materials, such as non-hazardous waste, and machinery and equipment, sludge and materials contaminated with hazardous substances such as hazardous waste.
ENDESA manages its waste according to the waste hierarchy (prevention, preparation for reuse, recycling, other types of recovery (including energy) and finally disposal), always starting from prevention, and when that is not possible, prioritising recovery and recycling treatments for the waste it generates, especially inert waste, as well as the treatment for reuse of those hazardous wastes that allow it, for example, used oils or cleaning solvents).

ENDESA has developed different Circular Economy initiatives, among which the following projects stand out:

ENDESA makes a clear commitment to renewable energy, and for this its first performance was the acquisition in 2016 of the remaining capital of ENEL Green Power España, S.L.U. (60% was still not in its possession), in order to address its commitment to growth in renewables.
The consolidation of the commitment is articulated through the roadmap for decarbonisation that ENDESA has established in its 2020-2022 Strategic Plan, which sets the objective of increasing by more than 38% the capacity installed in renewables to reach 10.2 GW in 2022, compared to 7.4 GW at the end of 2019, with an associated investment of €3.8 billion in the 2019-2022 period.
The development and management of renewable energies of ENDESA in Spain is carried out in this way through ENEL Green Power España (100% owned by ENDESA), the fourth-largest Spanish operator in the Spanish renewable energy sector.
At the end of the year 2019 ENEL Green Power Spain had 2,723 MW of gross installed renewable power, of which 2,291 MW corresponded to wind power, 80 MW to mini hydro, 352 MW to photovoltaic and 0.5 MW to biogas plants, with a joint production during the year 2019 of 4,369 GWh. This capacity is joined by 4,668 MW gross installed capacity of large-scale hydropower. Production with renewable sources represents 16.4% of the total production of the Company.
ENDESA, through Enel Green Power España (EGPE), has successfully completed the milestone of connecting to the grid before 31 December 2019 the total capacity that was awarded to it by the Government in the auctions held in 2017. Together, 879 MW (540 MW wind and 339 MW solar) developed through 25 projects in Aragon, Andalusia, Extremadura, Galicia, Castilla León and Murcia have been put into operation, with a total investment of more than €800 million. This power has a production capacity of 2,068 GWh per year, which will prevent the annual emission of 1.3 million tonnes of CO2 into the atmosphere each year.
On 23 December 2019, 100% of the capital of 13 companies holding photovoltaic projects was acquired from the Prodiel Group. The thirteen Companies acquired have 1,037 MW of capacity to develop through 10 projects. Of this figure, 102.5 MW is expected to be completed and launched in 2020, and the rest will be developed over the next few years until 2022, which allows significant progress in achieving the new capacity targets.
When they enter into operation, the estimated production of all these projects will amount to 1,990 GW/h per year (or what more than 500,000 households consume), which will prevent the emission into the atmosphere of more than 1.6 million tonnes of CO2 annually.

Throughout the year, ENEL Green Power España S.L.U. made other acquisitions of companies promoting renewable projects, including: Sa Caseta and Biniatria (21.93 and 15.34 MW photovoltaic respectively in Mallorca), Son Cartet (2 MW photovoltaic in Menorca) and Nudo Mudejar in Teruel (31.6 MW photovoltaic and 49.4 MW wind).
Biodiversity conservation is not a new concept for ENDESA. In its first Environmental Policy, approved and published in 1998, one of the reference principles "Conserve the natural environment of its facilities by adopting measures to protect species of fauna and flora and their habitats" was already established. Likewise, biodiversity conservation has already been established as one of the seven Commitments for Sustainable Development within the framework of the first ENDESA Sustainability Plan. As a result of this commitment, in 2012 the structure was designed of the Biodiversity Conservation Plan, which began to be implemented in 2013, achieving a remarkable efficiency and a high degree of success in achievement since its origins. ENDESA has now gone one step further and in January 2020 its Board of Directors approved a biodiversity policy, which allows the Company's commitment to the matter to be strengthened and consolidated.
The ENDESA Biodiversity Conservation Plan provides a structure that allows to select and assess, first and under criteria of scientific, social and applied interest, all initiatives received, both internal and external, in terms of biodiversity conservation.
With respect to the objectives of the Biodiversity Conservation Plan, the main lines of action, already formulated in 2012, were maintained for 2019:
At the end of 2019, the Biodiversity Conservation Plan had 26 courses of action under way, of which 21 were launched in previous years (5 of them ended in 2019, and 16 are still in progress) and 5 new courses of action were begun last year. A breakdown of locations shows that 61.5% of them were carried out in areas affected by ENDESA's facilities and 20% were research projects which, in the majority of cases included the publication of articles and scientific papers.
The following table shows the distribution of ENDESA's Biodiversity Conservation Plan actions in operation in 2019, classified according to the Plan's governing matrix and the 20 types of actions it contains, which can be deduced by crossing rows by columns:

These actions took place throughout Spain and Portugal and included many of ENDESA's business lines. Specifically, generation accounted for 38% of the activities, distribution 35% and the remaining 27% were in the corporate area.
As a process included in the environmental management systems implemented in ENDESA's business lines, and in accordance with the provisions of the environmental authorisations and environmental monitoring plans applicable in each case, ENDESA monitors all significant environmental aspects and ensures that in each case its environmental impact is minimised and offset. This includes in particular those facilities that are within a protected natural space.
It was considered of interest to obtain, as a measure of the impact caused by the mere presence of ENDESA facilities in protected natural areas, the area occupied by the Company's centres and infrastructure within spaces belonging to the Natura 2000 Network (ZEC, LIC and ZEPA). These data have been obtained as part of the Biodiversity Indicator System launched during the last two years. In addition to the occupied area, in the case of hydroelectric production, data on the volume of reservoir water and number of kilometres of regulated river within Natura Network spaces are included. These data are presented below:
| Thermal generation | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Surface (km2 ) occupied by facilities in Natura 2000 Network spaces |
1.57 | ||
| Renewable generation | |||
| Surface (km2 ) occupied by facilities in Natura 2000 Network spaces (wind and solar) |
0.73 | ||
| Surface (km2 ) occupied by facilities in Natura 2000 Network spaces (reservoirs) |
110.76 |
During the year 2019, renewable energy facilities were also incorporated into the Biodiversity Indicator System, meaning 100% of ENDESA's facilities were covered.
The well-being of workers has become, in recent years, a priority issue for the Company. In the 2019 materiality study conducted by ENDESA, the stakeholders consider it necessary for Companies to invest in the development of people (training and education, recognition and meritocracy or improvement in hiring and remuneration policies), which foster respect of the rights of employees and that promote a quality corporate life.
Particularly, the stakeholders point out that, if decent working conditions are established, both they and the Companies for which they work will be favoured: on the one hand, the former will be satisfied, which will be reflected in a positive attitude at work, and, on the other hand, the Companies will achieve the desired talent retention.
The digital transformation is also another objective in which ENDESA works to achieve an organisation fully connected to the digital environment by applying the "Agile" methodology in both projects and operational models.
For ENDESA, its people constitute the main asset of the company for the creation of value in a sustainable way. In an environment of change towards a new energy model, having a human capital that has the best capabilities, is as diverse as possible and shows a strong commitment to the business project, is essential to lead such change. For this reason, ENDESA establishes among its labour priorities the management of diversity (especially of gender and age), the management of cultural change, the availability of adequate working conditions, labour flexibility and meritocracy.
ENDESA incorporates these priorities in its sustainability plans and establishes quantitative objectives aimed at promoting excellence in the management of human capital, thus allowing the level of commitment and performance achieved to be assessed.
In this regard, the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) linked to the priorities in the workplace described above, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) are summarised below.
The full detail of all the objectives in the labour field included in the Sustainability Plans will be collected in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

ENDESA considers its people to be its most important asset, therefore it works on the identification and development of their potential, so that their performance contributes to making the Company a benchmark in the sector. Under this perspective, the performance evaluation and development processes guarantee professional growth based on merit and the contribution itself. In addition, a more transversal management model has been implemented that seeks to increase the commitment of professionals to the Company.
The digital transformation and changes in the ways of working have made the Company adapt its value proposition to the new digital customer. As a result, ENDESA continues with the implementation of an Agile organisational model with which it is desired that each person take responsibility for the Company's objectives as their own. Similarly, ENDESA works to be an agile organisation and a customer-driven data-driven company.
The training of its people is a priority at ENDESA. For this reason, its people management model establishes an annual plan that ensures the professional development of the workforce. To do this, it provides them with permanent access to the training catalogue.

The ENDESA Human Rights Policy, approved by the Board of Directors in 2013, establishes its rejection of all forms of discrimination and undertakes to guarantee and promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities. In addition, ENDESA has a set of robust management mechanisms and systems that allow it to guarantee respect for human rights and properly manage existing risks.
ENDESA encourages and maintains a climate of respect for the dignity, honour and individuality of people, and ensures the highest standards of confidentiality with respect to any information related to employee privacy of which it may become aware.
In compliance with the values included in the ENDESA Code of Ethics, and as part of it, ENDESA adopts the following fundamental principles:
Based on the above principles, ENDESA undertakes to implement specific actions to promote non-discrimination and inclusion in the following areas of diversity, each of which has a defined action plan:

ENDESA promotes gender equality in all areas of the Company, especially with regard to positions of responsibility and the hiring of personnel.
The freedom of association of workers is guaranteed in ENDESA and in all contractor companies and suppliers with which it maintains a relationship.
ENDESA has talent management tools that contribute to the growth of its people, both personally and professionally, and thus achieve success at the organisational level. The development actions, directed both for people and for teams, are carried out considering the different businesses and territories, adapting to the existing needs at all times.
During the year 2019 more than 1,100 people have participated in the different actions that are carried out in ENDESA to enhance their capabilities.
These actions include skills workshops (such as the "Manager Coach" course or its continuity "Manager Coach +"), knowledge transfer actions such as Mentoring or Job Shadowing, as well as coaching processes (individual or team), and other development actions designed to fit the needs of different businesses.

ENDESA, through its Code of Ethics, expressly condemns child labour, as well as forced labour, committing itself to rigorous compliance with international standards, such as the United Nations Global Compact. The objective is to promote a work environment that respects Human Rights. The condemnation of child labour and forced labour have also been expressly reflected in the ENDESA Human Rights Policy approved by its Board of Directors on 24 June 2013. Likewise, it should be noted that ENDESA operates in an environment where there are regulatory frameworks with the necessary guarantees so that there are no violations regarding child labour or forced labour.
ENDESA has advanced control mechanisms that guarantee strict compliance with current legislation, as well as international standards and ILO principles in this area. Additionally, this issue has been reviewed in the due diligence of Human Rights carried out by ENDESA, the details of which can be found in section 2 of the chapter on Human Rights. This year there were 2 complaints, but neither of them was verified as a non-compliance.
This approach is extended to all contractor companies and suppliers with which ENDESA maintains a relationship. To this end, it incorporates Human Rights clauses in the general hiring terms and conditions. Likewise, it evaluates aspects of Human Rights in the supplier qualification system and performs social audits to verify compliance. For more information, please see the "supply chain" chapter.
ENDESA recognises the right to labour disconnection, given the risk that the impact of technology on the Company and its influence on new forms of existing flexible work may interfere with the work-life balance of people. That is why we are working on the development of a more detailed digital disconnection policy.
In that sense, after the approval at the end of 2018 of Organic Law 3/1028, of 5 December, of "Protection of Personal Data and guarantee of digital rights", ENDESA identified the need to move forward in the preventive field and address new measures that reduce or mitigate possible cases of computer stress or fatigue in line with the provisions of said regulations.

ENDESA considers diversity an enriching element for the Company. The figures presented below show the progressive increase of women in the workforce, which increase their proportion over total workers, which is important and demonstrates the firm commitment of the Company to gender diversity, even with all the difficulties that this entails in the energy sector, due to the shortage of women in technical profiles. This increase in diversity has a special importance, taking into account the size of the workforce, its historical composition and the stable nature of labour relations.
Regarding age, the data reflects a solid and secure company, which combines both veteran staff and a gradual renewal.

ENDESA expresses its commitment to the labour integration of people with different abilities. In 2019, the Family Plan, developed by the Adecco Foundation, continues to be made available to

its people. Through this plan, 76 family members with disabilities of active employees received personalised counselling and welfare therapy.
In collaboration with Randstad Foundation: in 2019 a specialised service for consultation and advice on disability was provided. Cases that can be considered within the scope of disability are treated in a personal and confidential manner.
ENDESA develops actions for the integration of people with disabilities, the details of which can be found in section 3.6.2 of this document.
The Company has provided support service to the 79 employees with disabilities that we have this year on staff.

ENDESA promotes vacancy coverage first through internal mobility, but due to the complexity of the profiles and the growth in some business lines, external hiring is also carried out.
The greatest recruitment of resources is taking place in areas related to the new energy model, in line with ENDESA's strategic commitment. In this sense, profiles that are going to develop renewable energies, electric mobility, as well as technological profiles are being incorporated to face the important business challenges the Company is experiencing.
ENDESA promotes employment mainly among young people, through internship plans and scholarships that are a source of talent attraction and places a special focus on the incorporation of women according to the Diversity and Inclusion Policy.

In line with the Diversity and Inclusion Policy, ENDESA has agreements with Special Employment Centres and uses specialised recruitment web portals for people with disabilities, so that they can join the Company.
See section 1.4. Remuneration of the Directors of the Corporate Governance chapter of this document.
Next, the average salaries and their evolution are disaggregated by gender, age and professional classification. Fixed salaries, variables and social benefits have been considered following the general practice of Ibex 35 companies.

In 2019, a detailed study on the salaries of employees and the differences between men and women was carried out, and two types of indicators, the average and the median, were analysed to come to a deeper understanding of their causes.

On the one hand, the average salary between men and women of ENDESA was analysed, which showed an improvement over 2018 of 3.7 percentage points (from 12.1% to 8.4%). This result is a consequence of the action through the salary review processes, in which meritocracy has been combined with gender review monitoring, to avoid possible biases.
Even so, the 8.4% salary difference data has been studied in depth. A disaggregated analysis has been carried out to compare the positions of the same value, and from this study it was concluded that there are no significant differences in the average salaries of men and women. In the cases with the greatest differences it can be observed that they are caused by the effect of the number of years of permanence in the company, the incorporation under different collective agreements and by a lower presence of women in certain positions of high technical content.
We can therefore conclude that, in ENDESA, wage discrimination is not primarily responsible for the wage gap, being the composition of the workforce, with a much larger number of men in positions of greater responsibility, and the effect of the time of incorporation into the company, the main origin of the wage gap.
To understand the existence of this inequality in the composition of the ENDESA staff, several factors have to be taken into account: The industrial nature of the Company, the low turnover rate of the workforce and the historical gender composition of the Company, due to historical cultural and sociodemographic factors (fewer women historically accessing university studies, lower female presence in technical careers, etc.), which translates into a greater average seniority of men versus women. To this, other variables are added, including historical ones, such as the conditions of agreements of origin.
On the other hand, the median was analysed as an indicator of the wage gap in ENDESA. This indicator avoids the effect of the most extreme values and throws specific information on the salary discrimination data since it is not affected by the number of people that make up each group. From the above, we understand that the median is a more adequate indicator to measure the wage gap caused by gender pay discrimination. With this analysis, the values located in the middle zone show a 2.5% gap in 2019, thus confirming the absence of wage discrimination.
For greater transparency and in order to allow comparability with last year's data, this year we exceptionally also include the data calculated using the average, according to the same criteria as last year.

The annual working day is established in accordance with the terms set forth in the ENDESA regulations.
The Management of the Company and the Labour Representatives agree on the need to minimise overtime, through the establishment of work organisation tools and systems that enable a permanent improvement of the Organisation's efficiency, respecting in In any case, the legislation in force and especially, the provisions of Royal Decree 1561/1995, of 21 September 1995. ENDESA envisages the possibility that, in case of need for overtime, employees can choose between economic remuneration mechanisms or mixed remuneration mechanisms (economic and rest hours).

ENDESA makes available to its people a wide range of work-life balance measures in order to increase their commitment and satisfaction with the Company. At the same time, these measures actively promote and strengthen corporate values of responsibility, trust, proactivity and innovation. In this sense, ENDESA continues to favour initiatives that constitute a non-monetary remuneration supplement, which favour flexible work and allow the personal, family and professional balance of its professionals.
ENDESA develops measures to facilitate the reconciliation of work and personal life that fall into five large groups: quality of employment (indefinite contract, pension plans, health and welfare, support for expatriates, etc.), temporary and spatial flexibility (reductions in working hours, leave of absence, paid leave and breastfeeding rooms (offices in Madrid, Barcelona, Seville and Palma de Mallorca) etc.), support for the family (leave, leave and flexibility for family care, assistance to

dependent elderly) , etc.), equal opportunities (professional assistance for victims of genderbased violence, medical advice, etc.) and professional development (professional / technical / skills / language training, volunteer programmes, coaching, etc.).
In 2019, 6,825 people (2,019 women and 4,086 men) benefited from some form of action aimed at reconciling professional, personal and family life at ENDESA. The modality of "Work Outside the Office", started in 2017 continues having great success. This initiative, aligned with the promotion of reconciliation and digitalisation of the Company, contributes to building trust between the manager and the collaborator, as well as enhancing skills such as flexibility, autonomy and responsibility for results. In total, 2,399 employees (1,183 women and 1,216 men) took part in this initiative in 2019.
The number of ENDESA members adhering to the Flexible Remuneration plan has also continued to increase. In 2019, an adhesion percentage of 44.8% (4,462 employees) was reached. It is a remuneration system through which each employee voluntarily decides how to receive part of their monetary remuneration to suit their personal and family needs at all times. By contracting certain products and services through the Company, employees can increase their net availability due to the tax advantages granted by the Personal Income Tax Law to certain products and services. ENDESA's plan includes the products Health Insurance, Childcare Ticket, Food Card, Transportation and Training Card.
Likewise, ENDESA, during 2019 has worked on the consolidation and progressive expansion of the catalogue of services that favour the work-life balance of employees in areas such as personal management, health, sports and advice in certain areas.
ENDESA maintains a permanent dialogue with workers' representatives, through which it seeks to maintain a collaborative space that benefits both the company and its employees, thereby respecting the information and consultation rights of the Labour Representatives and negotiating, if necessary, the conditions of the workers.
ENDESA complies with the existing regulations, and communicates organisational and corporate changes to the Labour Representatives at least 30 days in advance.
ENDESA makes available to its employees continuous updated information on the projects it carries out, as well as all the Company's policies, through the corporate intranet. In addition, the informative contents are published on a regular basis through newsletters, two days a week, as well as an audiovisual summary of the Company's news one day a week. 100% of employees have access to these channels.
ENDESA carries out actions to respond to the areas of improvement identified through the climate survey.
As noted above, the Company maintains a permanent dialogue with the workers' representatives, through which it seeks to maintain a collaborative space from which both the Company and its employees benefit.

There are different bodies in the Company through which it is possible to address the negotiation processes that are necessary to adapt to the needs of the Company. Likewise, and in accordance with current labour regulations, ENDESA complies with the information and consultation rights of the Labour Representatives, providing the information and consultation that is necessary, so that it can carry out its union activity.
The area of "People and Organisation" (Human Resources) has the figure of the "People Business Partner", in order to give close support and advice to employees.
In accordance with the existing labour regulations, as well as the ENDESA labour regulations in Spain, the criteria that must operate in case of corporate reorganisations and business reorganisations are established. Thus, the regulations provide that they will be informed of the Labour Representatives, at least 30 days before the effectiveness of these operations.
ENDESA promotes respect for human rights based on all the Agreements established by the International Labor Organization (ILO), in all its commercial relations, adhesion of its contractors, suppliers and business partners to the same principles, paying particular attention to situations of conflict and high risk, as well as the rejection of forced or compulsory labour and child labour, respect for diversity and non-discrimination, freedom of association and collective bargaining, occupational health and safety, fair and favourable working conditions.
In ENDESA and the Companies that are part of the consolidation perimeter, the number of workers that in 2019 were affected by Collective Agreement, in different legal terms, whether in force or because they had the contractual conditions, came to 9,032 people, 90.75% of the workforce. With regard to contractor workers, 97.8% of ENDESA contractor employees were covered by a collective agreement.

ENDESA offers its employees training in order to equip and improve the technical qualifications they need to perform their duties, and to encourage the growth of attitudes and skills for their personal development. This offer is aimed at achieving compliance with the Company's strategic objectives and at promoting its values.
In the training implementation policy, ENDESA places the person as the main promoter of their individual process of acquiring knowledge and improving their skills.
ENDESA promotes training as a way to develop the capabilities of its people. In addition, it promotes collaboration and knowledge sharing, which contribute to creating a work environment that fosters dialogue, creativity and personal initiative.
In 2019, ENDESA held 2,198 training sessions, in which 9,060 employees took part. 402,953 training hours were given, with an average of 40.5 hours per employee.
ENDESA is committed to having a staff trained and capable of adapting to the new requirements demanded by the technological and cultural transformation in which the sector is immersed, forming part of its strategy to maintain leadership. This strategy is credited by the data on the average hours of training given per employee.

Respect for Human Rights is one of the principles on which ENDESA bases its activity in all the countries and territories in which it is present. Its policy of respect for Human Rights strengthens and extends its commitment established in the Code of Ethics, the Zero Tolerance Plan with Corruption and the Compliance Programme 231.
With the aim of spreading this commitment, knowledge about human rights and the actions that ENDESA carries out to respect them, the Human Rights online course is available to all staff. The objective of this course is to show the crucial role that human rights play in the current business

framework. This training also discloses the due diligence process that the Company implements to identify, prevent and mitigate potential risks and consequences arising from employee action.

The Diversity and Inclusion programmes are framed in the Human Rights Policy approved by the Board of Directors of ENDESA, S.A. on 24 June 2013. This policy incorporates among its principles respect for diversity and non-discrimination. ENDESA rejects all forms of discrimination and maintains the commitment to ensure that all its workers, both current and potential, are treated with respect for their diversity, also promoting equal opportunities, either when the employment relationship is established or at any stage of its development
The diversity and inclusion programmes have the following general principles:
Non-discrimination: All employees are treated exclusively on the basis of their professional abilities and skills in all decisions that affect the employment relationship.
All forms of discrimination, political, religious, national, ethical, racial, linguistic, gender or age, are prohibited. Likewise, ENDESA rejects any form of personal discrimination based on beliefs, sexual orientation, affiliation and union activity, and any other form of social discrimination. Under the same principles, harassment or intimidation is not tolerated.
As part of its policy of Diversion and Inclusion, ENDESA rejects all forms of discrimination and undertakes to guarantee and promote diversity, inclusion and equal opportunities in all dimensions covered by the policy (gender, age, disability and nationality, etc.).

Gender: ENDESA promotes gender equality in all areas of the company and to this end has defined a gender action plan with different objectives: to increase the presence of women in the Company, increase the presence of women in positions of responsibility and ensure equality in salary matters. To achieve these goals, various short, medium and long term initiatives are developed.
One of these main short-term actions is to reach 50% of women in the selection processes and the commitment to include at least one woman in the final list of the selection processes. When this is not possible, the reason is specified and recorded.
To improve the female quota in traditionally male positions ENDESA works on long-term initiatives, such as the promotion of technological vocations or specifically in technical studies also called STEM (acronym in English for science, technology, engineering and mathematics) among female students. To this end, programmes and collaborations with schools and institutes are established: in 2019 about 600 girls have participated in these initiatives.
Another of the lines of action of the Gender Plan is aimed at making women's talent visible and fostering the development and incorporation of women at levels of responsibility within the Company. In this sense, different development programmes have been carried out, such as Women Mentoring and the Take the Lead project. Both programmes are aimed at making visible and empowering female talent in the company.
In addition, ENDESA annually carries out the exercise of designing the Succession Plan for those positions with strategic responsibility in the organisation. Among the established criteria that must be met for the identification of possible successors is gender diversity. This means that at least one of the proposed successors for each position must be female.
As a sign of its commitment, ENDESA signed a new protocol with the Ministry of Equality to increase the participation of women in positions of responsibility during the period of validity of the protocol (from 2019 to 2023). Additionally, ENDESA has voluntary agreements with the Ministry of Equality, notably the "More women, better companies" and "For a society free of gender-based violence" initiatives, that have allowed it to be awarded the "Equality in the Company" distinction.
In addition, in ENDESA there are parental programmes aimed at balancing the needs of employees as parents and professionals. They consist of a series of structured interviews between employees, their managers and Business Partners (figure intended to close support and advice for employees on different matters), before and after the experience of maternity, to leverage that experience both for the worker and for the Company.
This year ENDESA joined the "Alliance for diversity" promoted by the Adecco Foundation and the CEOE Foundation. This Alliance is formed by a group of sixty CEOs of the main companies in the country. This initiative, a first at European level, aims to bring together the commitment of the top representatives of companies with the aim of promoting the implementation of diversity and inclusion policies.
Age: ENDESA aims to recognise, respect and manage differences between generations, ensuring integration, motivation and knowledge transfer. For this, the following actions have been carried out:
Tutoring programme aimed at young people who have just joined the Company. The objective of the programme is to accompany young talent in its initial months. This programme can be requested voluntarily and with a variable duration depending on the needs of each specific situation.

Programmes aimed at valuing senior talent through knowledge transfer initiatives and recognition of their experience such as: "Our highest values", an initiative aimed at employees over 55 years of age with an exceptional contribution in their professional career, who receive recognition from the organisation, their direct manager and their peers, in the form of participation in experiential or business activities.
In order to value the senior talent of the Company, taking advantage of their expertise and Know How with their participation in knowledge transfer initiatives, as well as acting as internal trainers.
Actions aimed at the internal public:
In addition to collaboration with foundations, ENDESA has identified a reference person who is responsible for centralising all issues and serving both managers and employees on this subject.
In 2019, in order to collaborate on the integration of people with disabilities, collaboration was maintained with the Adecco, Randstad, Prevent and Universia Foundations. In collaboration with these entities, various actions were performed such as:
During 2019, the Diversity and Inclusion Days have continued to be held. The activities scheduled during these days seek to increase awareness-raising in the four areas of the

ENDESA Diversity and Inclusion Policy. A total of 5 participatory activities were carried out in the cities of Barcelona, Madrid, Seville and Zaragoza.
ENDESA, in application of the alternative measures established in the framework of the General Disability Law, continues to commit itself to indirect contracting, through the purchase of goods and services from special employment centres. These purchases in 2019 reached the value of €2,375,854.50.
ENDESA has developed an action protocol against sexual harassment, which guarantees its activation whenever there is a complaint of sexual or labour harassment.
ENDESA complies with all local regulations and building codes applicable in the countries where it operates in terms of accessibility to its facilities for people with disabilities. In this regard, ENDESA has Operational Instruction 715 of the Comprehensive Office Improvement Project, in whose Manual of Construction Standards for ENDESA offices, it is established that "It is essential that in all buildings access, a non-discriminatory, independent and safe use for people with disabilities is facilitated", defining the parameters of accessibility that, apart from current legislation, must be mandatory in all company buildings.
ENDESA develops actions in the field of integration of people with disabilities, collaborating with foundations working to this end, as described in section 3.6.2.
In 2019 there were no incidents of discrimination at ENDESA, a figure that the Company periodically reports to the Workers' Representatives.
Despite the fact that in 2019 the material issue of occupational health and safety was identified with the highest level of satisfaction for our stakeholders, ENDESA continues to commit and move forward with the aim of meeting the expectations expressed in the framework of the materiality study for 2019.
The optimal management of occupational health and safety has a direct impact on the economic performance of companies as it allows the increase of productivity and the reduction of the associated labour costs. It also contributes significantly to fostering employee loyalty and commitment to ENDESA and the work they perform. Consequently, this aspect is configured as a fundamental pillar of sustainability at ENDESA and contributes to the operational excellence of the Company.
ENDESA incorporates these priorities into its sustainability plans and establishes quantitative objectives aimed at improving occupational health and safety, thus allowing the level of commitment and performance achieved to be assessed.
In this regard, the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) linked to the priorities in the workplace described above, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) are summarised below.
The full details of all the objectives in the field of occupational health and safety included in the Sustainability Plans will be included in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

ENDESA considers Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) a priority and a fundamental value to preserve at all times for all who work for the Company, without distinction between its own personnel and that of its partner companies.
This objective is integrated into ENDESA's strategy through the implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Policies (OHS) in all the group's companies and the implementation of specific work plans, emphasising not only the physical environment but also the emotional one and the promotion of safe and healthy habits.
In this way, the Company develops different initiatives for continuous improvement under a broad conception of the concepts of Safety, Health and Welfare, to eradicate any accident at work and continue persevering in a field where it would not be permissible to succumb to any complacency or overconfidence.
As a result of the correct integration of all the agents involved that constitute our security system, the main actions developed in 2019, both in the business areas and in the staff units, focused on basic pillars of preventive activity, among others:
The Board of Directors also participates in the supervision and control of Occupational Health and Safety management. In this way, the Board at each monthly meeting receives a report with the summary of the most relevant events that have occurred in the area of Occupational Health and Safety in order to carry out continuous monitoring. Likewise, the CEO of ENDESA directs safety meetings on a periodic basis to carry out detailed monitoring of accident indicators.
On the other hand, the participation of the company and its workers, through their union representatives, in the planning, programming, organisation and management control related to the improvement of working conditions and the protection of health and safety of workers, is a basic principle of prevention policy in the company and is considered an important lever for improvement.

During this year there were no occupational diseases.
The indicators presented below are monitored monthly, offering a reflection of the management developed by the company in this regard.

ENDESA, based on the importance of the material issue in its materiality study for 2019 and aware of the need to move towards products and services adapted to the needs of each customer, is working on the development of the digital experience of the customer, with new value propositions, new relationship modes and channels, and new business models.
These new models and digital experiences involve new habits and customs on the part of consumers in their personal and professional life, and of course, in their relationships with companies. The vast majority of them are already or will be digital, connected and social customers.
Considering that the digital transformation means that the company has to adapt its value proposition to the new digital customer and adopt new technologies in its value chain, one of the great challenges for the company is the development of a digital culture that allows development of the necessary skills to successfully lead the transformation.
ENDESA incorporates these priorities in its sustainability plans and establishes quantitative objectives oriented to the customer, thus allowing to evaluate the level of commitment and the performance achieved.
In this regard, the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) linked to the priorities with the customer is summarised below, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES).
The complete detail of all the objectives in the customer scope included in the Sustainability Plans will be collected in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

Claims attention in ENDESA is managed from the Claims Attention Unit (UAR from its Spanish initials) centrally and through people working in the six existing Territorial Units (UTR from its Spanish initials). Its main duties consist of:
The year 2019 is the beginning of a new form of claims management with an "end to end" vision of the process and with a customer vision, so that regardless of the Departments that act in the management of claims, there is a global vision of the customer effect. This entails more efficient management in costs and in customer quality since it simplifies the management and results in a shorter management time and a positive valuation by the customer. Also in 2019, the digitalisation management of resolution has continued with the second phase of the claims classifier and studying alternatives for automation and artificial intelligence in management.
The volume of claims generated in 2019 was 255,154, a volume that fell by 42% compared to the previous year. The number of requests also decreased in volume by 18% to 346,237.
The global generation of both requests and claims was 601,391, of which 101% were resolved. Thus, more claims and requests have been resolved than have been generated and may reduce part of the number outstanding.
The measures taken throughout 2019 and the decrease in volume have led to an improvement in the claims management deadlines from 11 days of 2018 to 7.03 days for 2019, which is 36% lower.
At the process level, all show a reduction compared to the year 2019, but the reduction of 64% in the claims related to the readings and their billing, and also a 38% reduction in contracting due to the lower effect of the Bono Social discount rate in the year 2019. Finally, the claims of Customer Service and Sales decreased by 30% and 31% respectively, due to the reduction of customer claims on contracts made by door-to-door commercials. The claims have a higher resolution in the Customer Service Channels that resolve in the first instance with the customers themselves, and the procedures that cannot be resolved in the first instance pass to the teams that can resolve

them, including the Commercial Cycle teams which also deal with claims. In 2019, more than 80% of the claims of the reseller (Residential) have been resolved within a period of less than 5 days.
ENDESA's own facilities that it has for its customers comply with all the legal requirements and for each one of them the mandatory revisions are planned with the periodicity that it applies in each case: weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual, etc.
In the works that we carry out at our customers' facilities, the Coordination of Business Activities is fundamental and we always have figures such as Health and Safety Coordinator or Prevention Officers, who ensure the proper development of the works from the Safety point of view, as well as conducting Safety and Health Inspections in the field for verification.
This effort will be rewarded with the OHSAS certification to our Health and Safety Management System for the sale, installation and maintenance of products and services related to the supply of electrical energy, thermal installations, gas and/or sanitary hot water, recharge facilities of electric vehicles, maintenance and repair of in-person technical services linked to the supply of electricity and gas, and the sale of energy products and value-added services to customers.
ENDESA complies with the provisions of current legislation regarding safety for people, whether employees or citizens in general, for all facilities:
Regarding the health of the population, ENDESA shares with the rest of the operators in the electricity sector and with society in general the concern about the potential impact that the electromagnetic fields generated by its facilities could cause. Therefore, different technical actions are carried out of verification and, where appropriate, adaptation, so that it is ensured that their operation does not generate incidents hazardous to public health. ENDESA is constantly updated with the latest studies in this area and actively participates in the forums of the electricity sector to contribute our knowledge and initiatives (technical, constructive, operational, etc.) in the field of prevention of health risks related to these causes.
ENDESA's commitment to involve local communities in its activities and the development of communication technologies have contributed to the increased willingness of local communities to actively participate in those issues that may impact them positively or negatively.
In addition, social opposition to certain projects may entail costs associated with the delay in the execution of the projects undertaken by investee companies or even their own stoppage and, in any case, a loss of trust and social legitimacy towards the Company.
Therefore, in order to guarantee the sustainability of business projects that are developed, minimise risks and maximise business opportunities, ENDESA continues to integrate the expectations of local stakeholders from the beginning, encouraging the development of dialogue and responsible relationships with local communities, applying at all times a shared value creation approach through which it generates value for the company and society.
In this regard, in the consultations ENDESA conducted in 2019 among its stakeholders, the following aspects related to the management of local communities were identified, being among the most relevant facilitating access to electricity, promoting economic development and social community with a focus on employment as the main resource for empowerment and support for local communities both socially and environmentally.
ENDESA, in order to involve the local communities where it carries out its activity and following the implementation of its Shared Value Creation approach, responds to these expectations and establishes objectives and actions in its sustainability plan oriented towards this end.
The following is a summary of the level of compliance achieved in the most relevant objectives of the 2019-2021 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES) linked to the social priorities described, as well as the new objectives established in the framework of the new 2020-2022 ENDESA Sustainability Plan (PES).
The full detail of all the objectives in the workplace included in the Sustainability Plans will be included in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

Note: They consider the activities of ENDESA and its Foundation detailed in the previous table. The data consider the period 2015-2030 (accumulated)
ENDESA's commitment to the development of the communities in which it operates is part of the company's Creating Shared Value Policy (CSV), which establishes the general principles, roles, responsibilities and procedures to be used for the definition, implementation, financing, monitoring and reporting of actions, processes and projects of a social nature, throughout the entire value chain of the company and in all business lines. Its objective is to legitimise the business and strengthen its sustainability, increasing the competitive advantages of the same, through the contribution of a perspective that combines the objectives of the company with the priorities of the stakeholders, creating roots in the communities and encouraging progress in the local environment where it operates.
The application of the Creating Shared Value Model (CSV) has five phases that are:

The actions and projects that make up the CSV Plan must be aligned with ENDESA's general strategy, as well as with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), with an inclusive social approach, taking advantage of and optimising capacities effectively and efficiently and competencies that the Company has from an integrated perspective, which generates measurable benefits in society by giving a response to its present and future requirements.
ENDESA continues its process of implementing the Creating Shared Value model as a tool for integrating sustainability into business strategy and operations. Currently, this Model has been implemented, with varying degrees of progress, in 100% of the facilities that are in the Operation phase of both thermal generation and renewable generation, as well as in the 33 new wind and solar park construction projects which cover the power awarded in auctions held since 2017.
At the end of 2019, the CSV Model had been applied in 293 thermal and renewable generation facilities.
As part of these actions, in 2019 a total of 167 meetings were held with city councils, public entities, social agents, etc., in order to integrate, contrast and prioritise local needs and generate channels of dialogue and participation for the creation of shared value and more than 35 social development projects had been carried out or are under management in these environments. In addition, other information meetings were held with local stakeholders on specific topics (energy efficiency, new Bono Social discount rate, etc.).
ENDESA maintains a firm commitment to the decarbonisation of the Company, as indicated in the 2020-2022 ENDESA Strategic Plan
Based on its commitment to local communities, in order to manage responsibly the closure of the thermal power plants associated with this transformation, together with the request for closure, ENDESA has voluntarily submitted Future Plans (called Futur-e) aimed at promoting development of economic activities and employment generation in the areas of the plants in closing.
The Futur-e Plans have 4 main pillar of action that seek to contribute to the mitigation of the impact of closures on the local community:

institutions and other public and private agents can present viable alternatives, through a participatory, transparent and open process, in order to seek investment and job creation projects on the site of the plants or in their surrounding areas.
Specifically in Andorra the Company has presented a plan that provides for the installation of 1,884 MW of renewable generation (pending granting of evacuation rights), which would involve an investment of €1,427 million and is estimated to generate 4,000 jobs in the construction phase and 130 in the operation and maintenance phase. In the case of Compostilla, ENDESA has planned the installation of 390 MW of renewable generation in the area of Villameca, which would involve an investment of €340 million and is estimated to generate 1,100 jobs in the construction phase and 30 in the operation and maintenance phase. Likewise, the Compostilla ideas competition is in the process of receiving proposals on possible new uses of the site, which will be assessed throughout 2020.
ENDESA wants to be an actor that contributes positively to the Companies in which it is located, going beyond what constitutes its business activity. This is attested through the Company's social investment data which, according to the London Benchmarking Group (LBG) methodology, rises €12.5 million. This final result of ENDESA's social contribution in 2019 represents a decrease of 11% compared to the previous year, as the approach to optimise and improve management, take advantage of synergies, involve employees and minimise accessory costs is still being developed.
Therefore, in 2019, 203 social projects were carried out (163 in 2018) that have generated 1,070,620 direct beneficiaries, assuming a slight decrease compared to the result obtained in 2018 (1,148,888 beneficiaries). However, the level of positive impact on them was raised as a result of the projects since about 290,000 people (213,000 in 2018) achieved a positive and relevant transformation in their lives as a result of these actions, which entails a rise in 8 percentage points with respect to the level of achievement of the previous year.
The projects are classified into four categories, the first three being (Access to energy, Socioeconomic Development and Education) those where we have publicly committed commitments to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
| Main figures | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Social Investment according to LBG (millions of euros) | 13.8 | 14.0 | 12.5 |
| Energy access projects (*) | 34% | 25% | 37% |
| Community socio-economic development projects (*) | 25% | 35% | 20% |
| Education Projects (*) | Integrated in the "Support to local communities" section |
10% | 15% |
| Support projects for local communities | 41% | 30% | 28% |
(*) Achievement commitments publicly acquired with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
ENDESA is committed to the development and well-being of the Company, which cannot occur without having access to a basic commodity such as energy. In this sense, the company promotes initiatives, aligned with its core business, that minimise economic barriers to vulnerable groups, offer training and training in the field of energy, ensure technological or infrastructure accessibility and promote energy efficiency and Aware about its use. In this way ENDESA contributes to the Sustainable Development Goal 7, establishing a public commitment of 4.8 million beneficiaries in this type of projects for the period 2015-2030.
The beneficiaries of this type of projects developed by ENDESA have increased by 5% compared to the previous year, from 403,390 in 2018 to 423,468 beneficiaries in 2019.
| Access to energy | 2017 | 2018 | 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of beneficiaries | 401,141 | 403,390 | 423,468 |
As an example of a project in this category, we highlight the "Training of social services technicians and/or third sector entities in efficient energy consumption habits and invoice optimisation". Since 2016 and in collaboration with the Association of Environmental Sciences (ACA) and the European Network for the Fight against Poverty and Social Exclusion of the Spanish State (EAPN-ES), a programme of training courses is being taught aimed at workers in social entities on issues such as energy saving and efficiency measures, the new Bono Social discount rate, optimisation of the electricity bill and protection against service cut-offs due to nonpayment so that, in this way, they can better develop their advisory and support work for families in vulnerable situations. Through these course cycles, attendees acquire practical and useful training so that they can better develop their advisory and support work. In the sessions given in 2019, some 77 institutions that they estimate provide advice to about 9,000 people a year in energy poverty.
ENDESA is committed to the socioeconomic development of the communities in which it is present, promoting initiatives that boost its progress through the support, generation and creation of local economic fabric and programmes that promote employability and job creation. In this way ENDESA contributes to the Sustainable Development Goal 8, establishing a public commitment of 1.7 million beneficiaries in this type of project for the period 2015-2030.
This area encompasses projects unrelated to energy that contribute to employment development, infrastructure development, skills transfer and training and support to local business activities.
In 2019 the Company has invested about €2.5 million according to LBG methodology in this type of initiative, representing 20% of the total investment, with the management of 48 projects (36 in 2018) that have benefited more than 133,000 people.
Likewise, in the category of "Access to energy", among other actions, employability and job creation in the energy sector are encouraged. In this sense, there is the subcategory of "Training and training in the field of energy", which frames courses, practices and creation of professional opportunities in the sector, for people in unemployment. In 2019, more than €600,000 was invested in 8 projects of this type that benefited 734 people. As an example, we highlight the courses for the operation of renewables plants whose objective has been to promote the hiring of

local labour, promote employment and create an economic fabric in the area, through the improvement of the employability of people who have some training technical and who live in the surrounding areas of the new renewable plants under construction. In 2019, 16 courses on renewable energies distributed by Zaragoza, Andorra, Motilla del Palancar, Totana, Paradela, Cogollos, Almargen, Logrosán and Casas de Don Pedro were given, in which the 183 people attending them received training in the operation and maintenance of solar and wind farms.
As an example of an initiative not linked to the sector, since 2016 the ENDESA Foundation, in collaboration with Fundación Integra, has carried out the "Changing Lives" project, in order to improve the employability of people at risk of exclusion, offering them the necessary tools to become integrated in the world of work. Made in Barcelona, Seville and Madrid, during 2019, 360 people were trained and 192 of them found a job.
ENDESA is committed to promoting access to inclusive and quality education, through support for training activities that involve students, families, colleges and universities and the promotion of academic training, in general, not related to energy. In this way ENDESA contributes to the Sustainable Development Goal 4, establishing a public commitment of 700,000 beneficiaries in this type of project for the period 2015-2030.
In 2019 and according to the LBG methodology, the Company has invested more than €1.8 million in this type of project, representing 15% of the social investment with the management of 28 actions that have benefited more than 73,000 people.
A significant initiative in this area is the ENDESA Red Chair in collaboration with the University of Seville, the University of the Balearic Islands, the University of Las Palmas and the UPC (Polytechnic University of Catalonia). The initiative frames different types of activities that serve as a bridge between the academic and business fields through the holding of seminars, conferences, final projects and doctoral theses, as well as research in the electricity sector.
ENDESA supports local communities through various types of projects aimed at improving the well-being of individuals and communities, maintaining their cultural identity, preserving their heritage, improving the environment and local biodiversity, promoting sport, encouraging healthy habits and meeting basic needs.
When carrying out these actions, ENDESA is based on the knowledge and sensitivity of each local reality and collaborates with the main social organisations in the environment where it operates, relying on territorial units. This pillar of action has had an investment of 28% of the budget according to LBG methodology, which corresponds to almost €3.5 million, 75 projects managed and about 441,000 beneficiaries.
As examples we highlight the campaigns of food collection and household goods to alleviate critical situations of people in vulnerable situations, initiatives to support cultural activities such as the Teatro Real de Madrid or the Museo del Prado, projects to support people with health problems such as "Medical Smile" which sends clowns to hospitals in the Balearic Islands or the Pro Cnic Foundation for cardiovascular diseases or, finally, initiatives to protect birds and other species such as the European roller conservation project.
It is estimated that the benefits obtained by the 1,693 institutions with which ENDESA has collaborated in 2019, for the management of the social projects that it has carried out, have translated in 92% of the cases, in an improvement of its services or an increase in their capacities, in 45% in an extension of the scope of their activities and in 43% in an increase in their recognition. 38% of institutions have undergone these three results simultaneously.
In 2019, a total of 1,070,620 beneficiaries derived from the management of the 203 social development projects carried out by ENDESA were obtained. It is estimated that, as a result, 40% of the beneficiaries had their awareness raised, 33% achieved an improvement in their circumstances and, finally, 27%, about 295,000 people, achieved a transformation, with this being understood as an enduring positive change. In 2018, this last impact was 19%. These estimated results imply an increase in the quality of the projects managed, as the percentages and the absolute value of the sections for both a transformation and an improvement as a result of the initiatives have risen.
On the other hand, of the total beneficiaries, 43% are people from local communities in the environment where the company operates and 28% are people from society in general. Thirdly, with 13% and 10% respectively, there are people in vulnerable situations and students and finally, with 2% each, children and adolescents and the elderly.
In 2019, 100% of the projects were managed through strategic alliances with public and private organisations, a sign of ENDESA's commitment to contribute to projects with a lasting vocation. It collaborated with a total of 1,693 public and private institutions to develop the 203 projects that were carried out in the social field. 46% were primary and secondary schools, 36% public institutions and 7% were NGOs and social foundations. The remaining 10% is distributed among universities, social and environmental platforms, cultural entities and others.
An example of these alliances are the agreements signed against energy poverty. ENDESA, since 2015, has tackled a line of action that offers a response to the social problem of energy poverty. In fact, the Company pioneered the signing of agreements with town halls, councils, autonomous communities and public bodies to guarantee the supply to vulnerable families, conveniently accredited by social services, and that they were in default. Currently there are 272 agreements in force, of which 6 are with Autonomous Communities and 5 with Federations of Municipalities, and contact is maintained with 537 municipalities. As a result of these agreements, in 2019 ENDESA attended to 80,783 requests amounting to €27,390,108 from vulnerable customers with difficulties in paying their bills. Thanks to them, in 2019 they have benefited 36,723 families that are estimated to encompass more than 110,000 people.
Long-term sustainable growth for any Company involves responsible management of the supply chain, based on the evaluation of environmental, social and ethical performance in a way that allows the evaluation of whether employees who intend to work with the Company comply with the requirements established and are aligned with the objectives and the strategy of sustainable growth.
Suppliers, as members of the ENDESA supply chain, can generate social, economic or environmental impacts derived from the performance of activities for the Companies. In this sense, ENDESA has considered this aspect in the consultation process carried out during 2019 to its stakeholders in order to identify the most relevant aspects and where it should prioritise.
ENDESA establishes in the ENDESA Sustainability Plan the objectives to promote the responsible management of its supply chain, incorporating objectives of occupational health and safety, environmental and respect for human rights in this regard. The following shows the level of compliance achieved in the main objectives in 2019 and the new objectives set for the coming years.
The full detail of all the objectives in the field of supply chain management will be included in the 2019 Sustainability Report, which can be accessed at www.ENDESA.com

In order to promote responsible management in the supply chain, ENDESA has a comprehensive purchasing process, which requires suppliers to be qualified according to sustainability criteria (environmental, social, ethical, integrity, human rights) in addition to technical and economic, prior
to the tender process and the formalisation of the contract. Finally, once the service has been provided, its level of compliance and performance in said provision is evaluated through the Suppliers Performance Management tool.

A significant change in this process has been the introduction, within the scope of the supplier qualification system, of the new Sustainability requirements related to compliance in human rights, environment and occupational health and safety for all suppliers requesting qualification in the families of materials/services/works subject to these controls. Additionally, and as an integration in the requirements of sustainability in occupational health and safety, since 2018, the completion of the SHE 365 safety questionnaires to suppliers was introduced as a mandatory requirement for qualification, which implies a more in-depth analysis related to Company standards in aspects related to safety and the environment.
ENDESA has a comprehensive purchasing process, in order to promote responsible management in the supply chain, which requires that, prior to the bidding process and the formalisation of the contract, suppliers are qualified according to criteria of sustainability (environmental, social, ethical, integrity and human rights), as well as technical, legal, economic and reputational criteria.
The current ENDESA supplier qualification system was reviewed and established in 2019. The new OP-162 procedure applies to the whole group of purchasing families, which have been catalogued at different levels of risk through a joint analysis between the supply departments, the business lines and those responsible for Safety, Health, Environment and Quality.

The Supplier Qualification System was started in 2009 to reinforce compliance with applicable regulations in legal, labour, safety and environmental protection matters. Through it, it is determined whether a supplier meets the requirements to work with ENDESA. This system specifically evaluates, in addition to compliance with legal requirements, economic-financial solvency and technical capacity, the level of compliance of the supplier in terms of sustainability, according to criteria previously defined according to the risk associated with the family of purchases to which the supplier belongs:
The requirements in this area of sustainability for new qualification files entered into force in April 2017, and are applicable to the entire base of qualified suppliers since the entry into force of the OP 162 procedure during 2019.
In addition, as part of the environmental and safety sustainability requirements, the need for possession of the corresponding management system certifications in such matters has been established in accordance with ISO 14.001 / ISO 45.001 and OHSAS 18001 standards for the activities to be carried out by the suppliers according to the family in which they need to be qualified.
At the end of 2019, the Supplier Qualification System had been implemented in 577 purchasing families, 241 global families (international qualification), and 336 locally in ENDESA.
In 2019, 100% of the new ENDESA qualified suppliers were examined on criteria related to human rights; in addition, 100% of contractors are also examined in this area as this requirement is included in the ENDESA General Contracting Terms and Conditions.
In addition to the foregoing for the supplier qualification process, aware of the relevance of extending its commitment to sustainability to the supply chain, throughout 2019, since the implementation of the new OP 162 procedure, ENDESA has begun to apply sustainability criteria in all the qualifications carried out. Regarding the tenders carried out by ENDESA, a library of social, environmental and ethical indicators has been developed from which a selection is made for each tender of those best-adapted to the nature of the product or service tendered and the performance of potential suppliers of these indicators is taken into account and evaluated, together with the economic and technical proposal.
This methodology has already been used throughout the year 2019, including the two with the highest volume and will continue to be applied systematically in all new tenders as from 2019. At the end of the year, 260 contracts were signed including the K of sustainability.
Local suppliers are suppliers of materials, products and services located in the same geographic market in which the organisation operates (that is, no international payment is made to the supplier).
| Local suppliers | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2017 | 2018 | 2019 | |||||
| Percentage of procurement | 92.09% | 84.07% | 92.95% | ||||
| Expense (thousands of €) | 1,737,896 | 2,230,176 | 1,893,400 |
As mentioned in the previous section, ENDESA's comprehensive purchasing process determines that, prior to the bidding and contracting phase, the supplier is qualified, among other sustainability criteria, in accordance with human rights criteria and the compliance of the supplier is evaluated in a specific manner, depending on the risk associated with the purchasing family to which the supplier belongs, being able to perform, based on the results of that evaluation, specific audits to verify compliance in the area of Human Rights.
The results of this process have determined that, to date, no suppliers have been identified in which the right to freedom of association and collective bargaining is at risk nor have there been cases of child labour or forced or compulsory labour.
Significant suppliers are understood to be those whose sum of signed contracts is equal to or greater than €1.5 million.
In 2019, 189 new contractors were recognised whose sum of contracts exceeds the amount of €1.5 million (172 local and 17 foreign).
All these contracts include human rights clauses, related to the Global Compact and Ethical Regulations (clauses 26 and 27), which reflects the supplier's commitment to comply with the principles of the Global Compact, which includes those related to Human Rights, as well as the commitment to comply with legal regulations regarding the protection of child labour and women; equal opportunities; the prohibition of discrimination; abuse and harassment; freedom of association and representation; forced labour; safety and environmental protection; sanitary hygienic conditions; as well as compliance with current legislation regarding remuneration, pensions and social security contributions, insurance, taxes, etc., in relation to all workers employed for any purpose for the execution of the Contract.
With this criterion, based on contractual clauses, 100% of the operations would have been subject to review or evaluation of impact on human rights.

On the other hand, within the process of qualification of suppliers of local families of ENDESA, during 2019 a total of 181 suppliers were analysed in the field of human rights (by analysing a questionnaire provided for this purpose in the qualification circuit), of which 14 were significant.
Expanding the base to qualified suppliers (at local level and in groups of merchandise of international interest), which amounted to 1118 suppliers, in 2019 a total of 997 suppliers were evaluated in the field of human rights, which meant evaluating 89% of suppliers qualified for ENDESA, exceeding the 85% set as a goal in the sustainability plan.
The Supplier Qualification System was started in 2009 to reinforce compliance with applicable regulations in legal, labour, safety and environmental protection matters. Through it, it is determined whether a supplier meets the requirements to work with ENDESA.
ENDESA, reinforced the controls related to the fulfilment of the requirements of integrity of the suppliers, in the groups of articles and contracts more sensitive to this aspect.
During the year 2019, 181 ratings were made (whether new or renewals due to the validity of the previous ones) in which the non-existence of critical data related to corruption has been verified through the use of check bases such as Word Check. For all of them, the suppliers also provided the mandatory Declaration of Trustworthiness.
ENDESA evaluates whether the contracting companies have the requested environmental requirements, examining the performance and organisational quality and management of the companies in terms of Environmental Responsibility, based on various information and documents sent by the company.
During the year 2019, 181 qualifications were made (in 2018, 195 were made), whether new or renewals for the purpose of validity of the previous ones, in which compliance with the environmental matter has been verified by means of the appropriate score in the questionnaires in this matter that are part of the qualification process in terms of sustainability. Of this total, 116 evaluations obtained an optimal score, 65 a sufficient score (corresponding to low or medium risk activities) and in 2 cases an environmental audit was performed.
The selection of the suppliers of solid and liquid fuels is carried out through the Know Your Customer process with which, for each counterparty, reputational, economic-financial aspects and the possession of the appropriate commercial technical requirements are evaluated. In addition, the provider's non-membership of specific "blacklists" of the United Nations, the European Union and the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United States is verified.
These are nominative lists that identify individuals or organisations associated with terrorist activities, organisations subject to economic sanctions by the EU and organisations called SDN (Specially Designated Nationals) subject to sanctions by the United States for accusations, including terrorism and drug trafficking.

Regarding the evaluation of the sustainability aspects of coal suppliers, an adequate internal process has been defined to verify that the supplier meets the requirements aligned with the ENDESA standard and the ENEL Group in terms of occupational safety, environment and human rights.
The purchase agreements established with each supplier apply the ENDESA principles regarding the Code of Ethics and Zero Tolerance Plan against corruption, to which the supplier must comply, the Company reserving the power, in serious cases of breach of such principles, to terminate the contract.
Additionally, to mitigate the risks arising from the maritime transport of fuels, the Company has been equipped with an evaluation and selection instrument for the carriers used (vetting). The activity of vetting is an industrial standard recognised by oil carriers, but for some years, the Company and a growing set of operators have begun to apply this methodology also for the transport of solid masses.
ENDESA has identified the coal supply chain as an area especially relevant for its potential environmental, social and human rights impact. Therefore, for years, it has been reporting in detail on the different initiatives it has launched to ensure that the company's sustainability standards are observed among its coal suppliers. Aware of the requirement of its stakeholders for a greater detail of information, it has been decided to include this specific section in the non-financial information statement regarding this matter.
As indicated throughout this document, the 2020-2022 Strategic Plan sets out determined decarbonisation objectives that include the cessation of mainland coal activity in 2022. In addition, in December 2018, the closure of coal groups 1 and 2 of the Alcudia plant was requested, which was authorised by the competent authorities in March 2019, these groups having been removed from the Register of Electrical Power Production Facilities in January 2020. Additionally, from 1 January 2020, coal groups 3 and 4 of the Alcudia plant will operate a maximum of 1,500 hours per year, which will be reduced by up to 500 hours per year from August 2021. These facts determine that future purchases of coal are not anticipated.
Purchases of coal for consumption by ENDESA thermal power plants already reflect this decrease in 2019, with a decrease of 80% compared to the previous year (974 kt in 2019 compared to 5,154 kt in 2018), being the main countries of origin in 2019 Indonesia, Colombia, South Africa and, to a lesser extent, Russia and the United States.
In any case, ENDESA is part, through its parent company, ENEL, together with other major European electricity companies, of the Bettercoal initiative, a global initiative to promote the continuous improvement of corporate responsibility among international coal suppliers. Bettercoal has published a code of conduct based on existing sustainability standards. It sets out in detail the guidelines that mining companies can follow to define their own social, environmental and ethical policy. The Bettercoal Code conveys to the suppliers the expectations of the members regarding their practices in relation to four macro categories: management, ethical commitment and transparency, human and labour rights and environmental management, promoting continuous improvement.
During the course of 2019, a revision of the Code has begun to be aligned with the most recent Best Sustainability Practices, gathering ideas and feedback from all interested stakeholders.

Suppliers adhering to the initiative, after signing a letter of commitment, begin a virtuous path represented by the insurance system, agreeing to undergo on-site verifications, carried out by independent third parties on the application of the principles listed in the Code and agreeing on a plan of continuous improvement to overcome possible deficiencies.
Bettercoal has been gaining an increasingly prominent presence in forums related to the sustainability of coal and the supply chain, becoming an example of collaboration aimed at improving socially responsible practices in the supply chain. In 2019, Bettercoal's evaluations covered 400 Mt of coal production, two working groups specifically dedicated to Russia and Colombia were reinforced with clear and transparent work plans. Four on-site checks were carried out at sites located in the United States, Colombia and Kazakhstan and 11 improvement plans were actively monitored. Additionally, to promote greater transparency, 4 reports have been published on the on-site assessments carried out that are publicly available on the Bettercoal website, a communication of commitment to the United Nations Global Compact is published and the Annual report with the contribution of an external NGO.

Our responsibility is to express our conclusions in an independent limited verification report based on the work performed, that refers exclusively to 2019.

The procedures carried out in a limited assurance engagement vary in nature and execution timing and are smaller in scope than reasonable assurance engagements, and therefore, the level of assurance provided is likewise lower,

Based on the procedures performed in our verification and the evidence obtained, no matter came to our attention that would lead us to believe that the 2019 NFS of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2018 has not been prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with the content established in prevailing mercantile regulations and the criteria of the selected GRI standards, as well as other criteria described in accordance with that indicated for each subject in section "Index of content required by Law 11/2018 of 28 December on disclosure of non-financial and diversity information" of the aforementioned Statement.
