AUDAX RENOVABLES. NEW APPOINTMENTS TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS: ANABEL LÓPEZ AND ROSA GONZÁLEZ

Audax Renovables has reconfigured and strengthened the Board of Directors by approving, with a unanimous vote, the appointment of two women. Anabel López Porta and Rosa González Sans will join the company's highest governing body for the next four years.

The entry of the two managers represents further confirmation of Audax Renovables' commitment to increasingly better governance.

Anabel López, graduated in Law from the University of Barcelona and PDG from the IESE Business School, has been working in the renewable energy and capital markets sector for over 15 years; he currently holds the role of head of the renewable generation portfolio of Audax Renovables. Furthermore, López is already on other boards of directors of companies controlled by the Group.

In 2015, he took over the general management of Audax Renovables, personally managing the entire operation that led to the takeover bid and the subsequent merger with Audax Energía.

Rosa González works in the field energy – especially marketing – for over a decade. Founding partner of Mediaworks SA, a communications agency and media center, she joined Audax right from its origins.

Having held numerous positions of responsibility in different areas of expertise of the Group, from finance to human resources, he had the opportunity to develop a transversal vision of the activities. She has also participated in various expansion operations on foreign markets, holding the role of Country Manager of the Italian branch until 2018. Rosa González is also a member of other boards of directors of companies gravitating around the Audax Group.

The entry of the two managers brings the female presence within the Board of Directors to 33%, therefore exceeding the 30% objective set for the 2020 financial year and approaching that of the 40% set for 2022 by the Código de Buen Gobierno (Code of Ethics) .

Furthermore, the composition of the Board of Directors demonstrates the commitment to following the recommendations of the Código de Buen Gobierno of listed companies as published by the Spanish National Securities Market Commission in relation to respect for gender diversity and regarding the independence of the members of the Board of Directors .

The appointments of the new directors also entail changes in the various board committees as Anabel López also joins the Control Committee and the Nominations and Remuneration Committee.

José Elías, Presidente del Consiglio di Amministrazione, ha dichiarato che ” l’entrata di Rosa González e Anabel López, portando nuove conoscenze, abilità ed esperienze, influirà positivamente sull’efficacia e sulla qualità delle decisioni del CdA”.
