Sustainability Tools

Social, environmental and economic responsibility. These are the pivots for the concept of Sustainability. A concept which in economic science expresses the possibility of being able to continue working with a permanent benefit, which leads to the ability to reconcile the often contrasting needs of the various parties involved in the activities of a business: the people who make investments, the people who work in it, the people who live nearby, the people who buy and sell and the people running the business.

The A2A Group holds a unique position in this scenario. Because it arose out of the desire to create a multiutility of a size consistent with the challenges and the wish to grow, but to do this also by maintaining a close and specific relationship at a local level and with the system of relations distinguishing the local territory. It is from this, and from the conviction that these are rewarding factors, that a specific project was born to define how Sustainability should be practised and how this practice should be incorporated into the Group’s strategies.

By its nature the Sustainability Project is in constant evolution. But it has already enabled the Group to set up all the main tools required to orientate and govern the decisions that have an effect on the environment and the community. Ranging from those regarding corporate governance (values, an ethical code, specific bodies) to those concerning a systematic relationship with stakeholders of the most varied kinds and those that inspire decisions relating to quality, the environment and security, and so on through to the annual publication of a Sustainability Report.
