Enel adopted a Human Rights policy as early as 2013. In 2021 it has been refreshed to accommodate the evolution of the international reference frameworks and of our operating, organizational and management processes and strengthens and expands commitments already included in several codes of conduct like the Code of Ethics, Zero Tolerance for Corruption Plan and the global compliance models. The updated text has been approved by the Board of Directors of Enel SpA and subsequently adopted by its subsidiaries. The updated Policy identifies twelve principles, classified into two macro-issues: employment practices and community relations and society, and sets out how environmental degradation and climate change are intertwined with human rights since the implementation of measures happen only if their societal impact is taken into account. We have also in place a voluntary due diligence process on our human rights management system, running on three-year cycles. Thanks to the due diligence on our human rights management system we assess 100% of the policies and operatingrisks of our direct and indirect operations along our entire value chain and of our new business relations (e.g. acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, etc.). The consolidated improvement plan for the current cycle includes 170 actions, covering 100% of operations and sites, as already anticipated. Implementation started at the beginning of 2021 and at year closing we have achieved 43% of progress. Moreover, we are working to strenghten the identification system of any social risk related to our supply chain. With specific reference to the photovoltaic supply chain, besides legislation, we are carrying out a number of initiatives both individually and working jointly with other utilities, our suppliers and sector associations. On the individual side, we: • request suppliers to develop a silicon traceability system to guarantee and verify the origin of silicon as well as tracing our supply chain, up to polysilicon, and planning on-site audit at the factories that are involved in the supply of materials and equipment used in the solar panels; • verify, benchmark and instigate any necessary improvements to our suppliers’ codes of conduct (such as Human Rights Policy and Code of Ethics, or equivalent) using our UNGPs, OECD, ILO and Global Compact based standards as a reference.

Enel adopted a Human Rights policy as early as 2013. In 2021 it has been refreshed to accommodate the evolution of the international reference frameworks and of our operating, organizational and management processes. Thanks to the due diligence on our human rights management system we assess 100% of the policies and operating procedures put in place to identify the risks of our direct and indirect operations along our entire value chain and of our new business relations (e.g. acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures, etc.). The consolidated improvement plan for the current cycle includes 170 actions, covering 100% of operations and sites, as already anticipated. Implementation started at the beginning of 2021 and at year closing we have achieved 43% of progress. The residual risk identified based on combination of the the outcome of the perceived risk assessment and gap analysis led to the definition of the necessary remedies which were then included in the improvement plan both at country and at global level, therefore ensuring uniformity of processes and policies across the Group’s activities. With specific reference to labor practices, the assessment revealed they are perceived as “low risk” given also the compliance of the related control measures and processes with our internal policies and with the main international standards. However, we identified several minor areas of improvement such as the development of training programs on human rights aspects, with a special focus on the relationship with social partners and definition of working conditions during bargaining procedures or the intensification of training and monitoring of the supply chain.
