Posted 16 February, 2022

The <IR> Business Network’s Integrated Thinking & Strategy Group publishes its latest case study on integrated thinking in action from Enel


Providing gas and electricity in more than 30 countries across five continents, Enel, the Italian multinational energy company, has developed a business model that promotes the UN Sustainable Development Goals. To achieve those goals, Enel adopted an integrated thinking process. To put the process to work within its organisation, Enel developed an ESG integrated thinking management system that guides the company towards its aim of creating sustainable long-term value for all of its stakeholders.

To embed sustainability into Enel’s business model, the organisation also embarked on a thorough cultural change effort, which played a critical role in Enel’s ability to create a fully integrated sustainable business model.

The Business Network’s Integrated Thinking & Strategy Group series of case studies examine how integrated thinking has been embedded within international organisations from diverse sectors. The interviews conducted with key stakeholders identifies each organisation’s motivations, how integrated thinking has helped shape and deploy the organisation’s strategy, and what the benefits have been.
