A2A becomes a member of ICMA confirming its commitment to Sustainable Finance

In January 2024, we became a member of the International Capital Market Association (ICMA), the trade association promoting the development of the international debt capital and securities markets.

ICMA also serves as Secretariat to the Principles: the Green Bond Principles (GBP), the Social Bond Principles (SBP), the Sustainability Bond Guidelines (SBG) and the Sustainability-Linked Bond Principles (SLBP).

Joining ICMA allows A2A to strengthen its commitment to the continuous improvement and also to Sustainable Finance, accelerating decisive action aimed at developing the innovative financial instruments and supporting the Group strategy focused on the sustainability.

In particular, A2A’s membership of ICMA gives the Group an opportunity to:

• engage directly with a wide network of financial stakeholders to identify new opportunities,  
• to contribute to the development of market guidance.

We have also joined the ICMA working group on impact reporting related to Use of Proceeds Bonds, thus specifically contributing to the development of guidance that supports the reporting process and A2A's was selected as a corporate member in the Advisory Council, a body tasked with increasing market awareness of the Principles and promoting the related outreach.

A2A’s main representative to ICMA is Patricia Gentile, Group Head of Finance and Insurance, and the alternative representative is Marina Sabinina, Sustainable Finance Manager.
