At Madrileña Red de Gas, we continue to demonstrate our commitment to consolidating natural gas as a major energy solution in all sectors and substituting other more expensive and polluting energies (liquefied petroleum gas, diesel fuel, etc.). Because of its clean and versatile energy, natural gas complies with environmentally friendly policies.
In this sense, at MRG, it is our obligation to make citizens aware of the importance of reducing emissions caused by road traffic by promoting the use of natural gas for vehicles (NGV) as a substitute for other fuels in public and private transport, which represents important economic and emission savings for consumers and, therefore, for the national economy.
As a distributor, one year on we continue to expand our network as a means through which to make the use of natural gas accessible to all the industrial fabric and the population as a whole. This has led us to successfully deal with the conversion of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) plants acquired the previous year, an operation that has brought improvements for the user due to a greater use of energy. Similarly, we have intensified the meetings with the automotive sector, in order to encourage and give visibility to the use of NGV vehicles, which means the promotion of new product perspectives for the national automotive industry.

1.3 PERSONAL DATA PROTECTION
In terms of data protection, the most relevant activities of MRG during this financial year have focused on defining criteria and resolving queries. Many of these have been related to the exercise of rights of access, rectification, cancellation and opposition, as well as the contents of the informative notes on data protection and contractual clauses.
We have also made the necessary adjustments to maintain the validity of the data protection management model by updating the safety document and several of the procedures. Similarly, and in order to promote the internal culture in terms of data protection, we have carried out training actions with staff on particular aspects of personal data protection. Finally, we have defined the roadmap for adapting the current personal data protection management model to the new requirements of the new Data Protection Regulation, which will enter into force in May 2018.
1.4 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
For the second consecutive year, Madrileña Red de Gas has participated in the “GRESB Infrastructure” initiative. The results obtained have allowed us to have a vision both of company evolution with respect to the previous financial year and our degree of maturity in the matter in comparison with other companies in the sector.
In order to obtain a new certificate of business excellence, we have defined an ambitious work plan that allows us to apply for the “Excellent Madrid” seal granted at the end of the first half of 2018.
At MRG, we want to make the use of natural gas accessible in all sectors, ensure an efficient management in terms of data protection and establish ourselves as a distributor of excellence
