The company operates across the entire energy value chain, including petroleum refining, chemicals, and marketing, while aggressively pivoting toward green hydrogen, biofuels, and sustainable mobility through its "Positive Motion" strategy. With a workforce of approximately 10,000 employees, it plays a critical role in the European energy transition.

Headquartered in Madrid, the company maintains a massive footprint across Spain, including major refineries in Huelva and San Roque and a vast network of service stations.
