The Hera Group is a multi-utility with a broadly diversified shareholder base and strong roots in the local areas in which it operates.
We have robust governance designed to generate value over time for our shareholders through the creation of shared value. Communicating with our stakeholders is part of our DNA and takes the shape of numerous consolidated initiatives. These include HeraLABs, local multi-stakeholder councils that address priority issues for communities, and periodic meetings with local authorities to meet their requests; environmental education projects in schools to promote sustainability; and employee and customer satisfaction surveys aimed at improving the internal climate and service quality. Our relationship with investors and lenders is aimed at promoting sustainability, as is demonstrated by Hera’s presence in several ESG stock exchange indices - including the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - and the Group’s periodic issue of green or sustainability-linked bonds.
