Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues guide our long-term investments on the basis of our 2024-35 Business Plan.
All of our services and areas of business do, in fact, have a concrete impact on the daily life of all of us and on the future of new generations. Energy, water, the environment are fundamental to our purpose – that of being a Life Company – and are, at the same time, at the core of our pathway towards the ecological transition. This responsibility determines our growing commitment to integrating economic, social and environmental aspects into decision-making processes, and to making our results measurable. Moreover, by means of a structured process of materiality analysis, we are defining the contents – important for both the Group and for its stakeholders – which are to be accounted for.
In 2022, the Group set out to update the matrix in accordance with the new GRI standard and the logic of double materiality introduced by the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) from the European Union. The new directive, approved in November 2022, proposes a two-way method with which to assess corporate governance and how sustainability topics are managed: how these affect a company's financial performance and long-term value (incurred impacts) and what effects the company has on the society and on the surrounding environment (generated impacts).
One of the ways in which sustainability applies to finance is the practice of socially responsible investing (SRI), according to environmental, social and/or governance considerations integrate the financial assessments carried out at the time the choice is made to buy or sell a security.
SRI is implemented with the inclusion of listed companies on ethical indices.
