Why we are a Life Company

We regenerate the potential of every resource so as to safeguard the environment and the life of future generations

We are a Life Company because we deal with services essential for the quality of life of individuals and communities in towns and cities, operating sustainably for the areas that we serve, for the environment and for the generations of tomorrow. We promote energy from renewable sources and we are speeding up decarbonization, in support of the electrification of consumption. We are building a virtuous water cycle so that this resource can be reused without wastage. We are transforming waste into resources so that everything that we discard can become new material, energy and heat.

We look far ahead because the future is built today, responsibly.

In order to achieve and support this ecological transition model, we are investing in the skills of our workforce, in new technologies and in the quality and diversification of our infrastructures. Our goals are two-fold:

To regenerate the potential of every resource that we work with

each one fundamental for our lives every day (energy, water, waste, heat)

To promote a new culture of sustainability

benefiting our lives and protecting nature, seeing the ecological transition as an opportunity to generate environmental, social and economic value

Our challenges

In order to tackle climate change, pollution and the wastage of resources, we are changing

Over the years, we have undergone a significant transformation: from being a multi-utility company serving certain areas, we have become not only a leading national force in the sectors of energy and of water and waste management but also a point of reference for the ecological transition.

We are going through a period marked by important challenges such as climate change, the shortage of resources and pollution, phenomena which are already having a serious impact on people's well-being and on the health of ecosystems.

To tackle these phenomena, we must all play a part. As a Life Company, we have a central role in providing solutions which contribute to a more sustainable life, both present and future. Our strategy and our investments are all in line with this vision.

Climate, water, pollution, wastage of resources: the figures speak clearly

Climate change, pollution and the wastage of resources are accelerating at a worrying rate, with tangible impacts on the environment and on our quality of life. Data clearly shows how serious the problem is: from the rise in temperatures to the water crisis, from the accumulation of plastic in the oceans to the area that we breathe.

Our contribution

How we are tackling the great challenges of our era

In order to proactively respond to environmental, economic and social challenges of today and tomorrow, at A2A we have implemented strategies for 2035 focused on the energy transition and on the circular economy.

Our strategy foresees investments, measurable targets and concrete action in order to:

  • tackle climate change, taking our energy production towards renewable sources so as to advance the electrification of consumption
  • zero the wastage of resources and increase regeneration, continuing to invest in technologies and plants, and thus avoid the use of landfills, to increase recycling, to limit water leakages and to increase the district heating of buildings thanks to recovered heat or green sources

Ours is a unique business model because our activities to tackle climate change are in synergy with those seeking to eliminate the wastage of resources.

Our contribution to people's quality of life in numbers

The culture of sustainability

We give life to change by spreading knowledge

As a Life Company, we believe in the importance of promoting a culture of sustainability. We do so by means of our projects, educational initiatives, multi-stakeholder events and training programmes. We thus create a constructive dialogue with the communities that we serve and with those who we work with so as to take advantage of the opportunities for improvement that the ecological transition offers to all of us.

We thus take a proactive approach, involving numerous communication activities like stories and articles, podcasts and documentaries, with which we inform about experiences, initiatives and projects. With this content, we seek to perform an important task of informing, actively inspiring people and organisations to adopt more aware practises and behaviour, and generating a positive long-term impact.
