    As a principle, EDP España, S.A.U provides the non-existence of a pay gap under the 3rd Bargaining Agreement of the EDP España Group (https://www.boe.es/diario boe/txt.php?id=BOE-A-2019-3373) in its article 76 ‘Equality Plans’. Despite the foregoing, there are salary differences resulted from historic remuneration items, associated with age, customs and practices of the energy sector, or from the bargaining agreement in effect at the time of the recruitment, something that tends to disappear as the people from these groups reach the retirement age. In year 2020, the absolute pay gap, without taking into account same-category positions, was 14.99% and, in 2021, 19.09%. It should be highlighted that 100% of the remuneration items are included in 2021, in case of basic salary, we would report no pay gap among equal possitions.

    13. Briefly describe practical actions the company has taken during the reporting period and/or plans to take to implement the labour rights principles, including any challenges faced and actions taken towards prevention and/or remediation.

    In the area of occupational health and safety, a top priority for the company, the Health and Safety Policy and the Management System have been revised to strengthen the safety culture from the perspective of "zero accidents". In terms of prevention in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic, the state of the pandemic has been continuously monitored, and protocols for action have been drawn up in accordance with the best safety practices in force at any given time. PCR, immunological and serological tests were made available to the staff. With regard to the organisation of work, all the means for teleworking have been provided. Playitsafe is the new corporate project for continuous improvement in prevention, based mainly on the competences of the entire organisation, preventive observation and the digitalisation of processes. Mind your mind is the programme for managing employees' psychosocial risks, which aims to promote mental health, exercise and nutrition habits. Other aspects relating to employee engagement derive from the annual work climate surveys and their action plans, the equality plans, the programme to recognise as a programme to highlight the behaviour and results of individuals and teams, the corporate volunteering plan, and the "EDP is commitment to people" programme aimed at measures for work-life balance, healthy living and social benefits. These and other actions are included in EDP España's certification as a "Family-Responsible Company".
