Managing our Responsibilities / Governance
ScottishPower is now part of the IBERDROLA group, which is committed to responsible business operations and growth.
The original ScottishPower Executive Team has remained in place since the integration with IBERDROLA and consists of
José Luís del Valle - Vice Chairman
Nick Horler - Chief Executive Officer
Alan Bryce - Director, EnergyNetworks
John Campbell - Director, Energy Wholesale
Adrian Coats - Director, Treasury and Purchasing
Stephen Dunn - Director, Corporate Services
Ramón Fernández Olmedo - Director, Finance
Willie MacDiarmid - Director, Energy Retail
Rupert Steele - Director, Regulation
Marion Venman - Head of Legal and General Secretary
We have a ScottishPower Board which was appointed in April 2007 and consists of Ignacio Sánchez Galán as Chairman, José Luís del Valle as Vice Chairman, and José Luís San Pedro Guerenabarrena, José Sainz Armada, Fernando Becker Zuazua, Francisco Javier Morras Zuazo and José Miguel Alcolea Cantos as Directors.
In December 2007, we appointed a UK Advisory Board, comprising nine eminent people drawn from business, finance, public policy and academic research. The Advisory Board is chaired by Charles Miller Smith, who was Chairman of ScottishPower for seven years before the acquisition by IBERDROLA. The members of the Advisory Board are Sir Tom Farmer, CBE; Sir Muir Russell, Lord Kerr of Kinlochard, Lord Macdonald of Tradeston, CBE; Susan Deacon, Samantha Barber, Ramón de Miguel Egea and José Luis del Valle.
IBERDROLA uses the Advisory Board model to ensure that, as one of the world’s largest energy providers, it continues to emphasise a local commitment and ensure its global strategy is implemented in the most appropriate way for the UK.
The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of ScottishPower has overall accountability for our Corporate Responsibility strategy and performance. He is assisted in this task by members of the Executive Team, who also act as Impact Leaders.
A Corporate Responsibility Steering Committee, made up of senior representatives from across all the functions in ScottishPower, provides a link between the Executive Team and business operations. The Committee is responsible for policy development, reporting and advising Impact Leaders and business heads on Corporate Responsibility.
