Milan, 3 April 2017 – At today’s meeting of the Board of Directors of A2A the Board examined and approved the 2017-2021 Strategic Plan of the Group.
The 2017-2021 Strategic Plan confirms the strategic path taken in 2015 aimed at transforming A2A into a modern multi-utility company, essential to meet the needs of the local communities served, and a leader in the green economy, smart networks and new forms of managing energy services.
The new Plan, confirming or improving all the business objectives already defined in the past, defines the new strategic priority “R1” from the restructuring of the thermoelectric sector (whose operating activities were largely carried out in the two-year period just ended) to the “relaunch” of the environment, networks and energy services areas through a further acceleration in investments dedicated to them.
The implementation of the new Plan will help to significantly redefine the portfolio of industrial assets allowing A2A to more effectively seize the growing opportunities in the market and to propose some projects on an industrial scale, which have already been launched in the test phase in the fields of innovation, digitisation and energy efficiency.
