The five key dimensions of the solutions offered by Enel X
Enel X analyzes its own solutions through five key dimensions, which measure its level of circularity:
- the commitment of suppliers with circular Economy principles in the creation of products and services that are part of the solution;
- the presence of elements that make the models of circular consumption possible and encourage extension of the useful life and its reuse increasing the product´s life cycle;
- the comparison of the competitors´ best practices and programs aimed at increasing the efficiency in the use of resources, in the phases of installation and maintenance;
- the management of the useful life of each product, by innovative means and sustainable methods, in order to maximize the recovery of materials;
- the promotion and support of the development of environmental awareness of customers and the suppliers´participation through mechanisms that improve the performance and the environmental impact of the products and services offered.
The evaluation of solutions performed by Enel X serves to reinforce the level of circularity of the offer, and to increase transparency within the processes: they can recognize sustainability elements, and compare the different solutions offered in an easier way.

- LEVEL 1 (range 0 - 20): marginal components of the Circular Economy are present;
- LEVEL 2 (range 20 - 40): there is a partial use of renewable materials and a preliminary integration of Circular Economy principles in supplying the service;
- LEVEL 3 (range 40 - 60): this guarantees the most sustainable of methods, including during the phases of consumption and product recovery: the principles of Circular Economy are also present – albeit partially – in the supply method;
- LEVEL 4 (range 60 - 80): this guarantees the use of almost totally renewable prime materials in the production process, together with an integration of the principles of Circular Economy in the supply method;
- LEVEL 5 (range 80 - 100): the products and services in this solution have high levels of circularity for the majority of the pillars and dimensions under analysis.
The evaluation of Enel X solutions based on the five pillars reinforces the circularity of our individual solutions. It also is a form of transparency for our clients that makes it easy to recognize our organization's commitment to sustainability.
