Iberdrola leads European utilities on emissions and renewables—84% zero-carbon generation, SBTi-validated net-zero by 2039—but absolute emissions exceed 50 Mt CO₂e and gas operations remain material. Corporate espionage investigation and regulatory fines in US subsidiaries expose governance gaps. Transparency is strong; the transition pathway is real but incomplete.
