What are the goals of sustainable development?

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) were defined by the world's leaders in 2015 in an effort to protect the planet, combat poverty and build a more prosperous, fair and sustainable world for future generations. These objectives were set in the 2030 Agenda on sustainable development and include efforts to advance clean energy, decent employment and economic growth; responsible consumption and production; action against climate change as well as goals targeted at industry, innovation and infrastructure.

How is the carbon footprint calculated?

The carbon footprint is an environmental indicator that reflects all the greenhouse gases directly or indirectly emitted by an individual, an organization, an event or a product, and allows us to reflect on those areas where we need to act to reduce emissions. To calculate it, you have to multiply the consumption (activity) by its corresponding emission factor based on the type of fuel or gas used, as detailed in the Spanish Government's National Inventory of Greenhouse Gases.

How can I install solar panels at home?

In order to enjoy electricity self-supply from solar panels, you can contract the services of a company that specializes in the installation, collection, storage and distribution of solar energy, or do it yourself. Both options can be financed through BBVA, through the Energy Efficiency Loan for individuals and through Solar Self-Supply Renting for companies.
