During the Meeting, the Chairman and the Chief Executive Officer, Marcelino Oreja, reviewed the company's performance in 2014 and the key lines of the 2015-2017 Strategic Plan presented in February.
Antonio Llardén pointed out that in 2014 Enagás met all its stated commitments for the eighth consecutive year, “thanks to the company's efforts to adapt to the new economic context at the national and international level”.
The CEO stated that Enagás reported net profit of €406.5 million in 2014, in a year marked by two milestones: the gas reform, aimed at reducing the final price of energy in Spain and increasing the competitiveness of Spanish companies, and the company’s international expansion.
According to Marcelino Oreja, in 2014 Enagás made significant advances in its international expansion process, “and was done while considering the values that define us and form the basis that allows us to compete in a globalised world: innovation, efficiency, transparency, integrity, sustainability, safety and team work”.
