Our impact on the community

Our commitment is focused mainly on three areas:

• actions to combat climate change, enhancing the resilience of infrastructures and undertaking energy efficiency initiatives, with a view to increasing the production of electricity from renewable sources (solar energy in particular) and facilitating the adaptation and mitigation processes;
  
• protection of the local community and containment of our impact on the natural environment, by reconciling our company's operations with the conservation of biodiversity and natural habitats;
  
• encouraging the efficient use of resources, by promoting models of circular economy.
  

To ensure the best possible management and monitoring of all processes that are able to generate potentially negative environmental impacts, we decided to encourage the Group's Companies to adopt certified environmental and energy Management Systems (UNI EN ISO 14001 and 50001) and, for other facilities, including waste-to-energy plants, to also under the EMAS scheme. With each cycle the systems set new efficiency goals in environmental and energy management, which are monitored via performance indicators capable of identifying any signs of anomalies at an early stage, allowing us to implement timely corrective actions, thus reducing costs and risks.
