The 2020-2022 Sustainability Plan will guide Enel Chile's actions over the next three years, allowing for the Company's energy transition. It is combined with an industrial plan and built considering the energy industry's national context, most relevant risks in the energy sector, and priority issues for stakeholders. The Sustainability and Community Relations Management monitors the progress and fulfillment of each objective and goal of this Plan.
The Sustainability Plan is based on five pillars that support the strategy: occupational health and safety, sound corporate governance, sustainable environmental management, supply chain sustainability, and the creation of economic value. The Plan's enabling factor is innovation, considered indispensable to achieve a sustainable business, as well as of the internal and external social relations of the Company.
During 2019, we prioritized the generation of energy from renewable sources, which constituted 66% of total production. We are committed to promoting electrical mobility and electrifying our clients' energy consumption, investing significantly in infrastructure, networks, and the digitalization of all our processes. We aim to satisfy new market demands and deliver a quality service to the 1.9 million customers we serve. Currently, we provide 43% of the renewable generation to the national energy matrix. We have 1.2GW installed in wind, photovoltaic, and geothermal energy a capacity that we will increase with an additional 2 GW by 2022.
During 2019, we made progress on the commitments made about decarbonizing the country's energy matrix. We signed an agreement with the Chilean State to close our coal-fired power plants on a scheduled basis, which materialized at the end of the year, with the early closure of the Tarapacá plant—implemented following the transition's agreed principles and criteria that considered the human impact of closing those plants and sought to create valuable opportunities for all.
Enel Chile´s sustainability plan considers the international and national context, aligning its business targets both to United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and to country objectives. Chile’s Energy Route defines short-term goals for the national energy transition roadmap, where the Company plays a fundamental role for the achievement of these milestones set by the Ministry of Energy. Compromiso País, or Country Commitment, led by the Ministry of Social Development, sets action guidelines to tackle multidimensional poverty to which Enel Chile directly contributes through its business and community relations strategy. The materiality process provides an analysis to focus on issues, which are a priority for its stakeholders and are in line with those set by the company.
Sustainability indices and ratings such as, Dow Jones Sustainability Index, FTSE4GOOD and Vigeo, among others, in addition to the Human Rights Due Diligence, provide key information for continuous improvement of all processes throughout the value chain and the definition of strategic targets that enhance Enel Chile’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) performance.
These drivers allow the company to locally adapt Enel Group’s sustainability plan and set goals that create long-term value for Enel Chile’s stakeholders.
