A2A for the SDGs
In 2015, the UN published its 2030 Agenda, which includes 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to be achieved at a global level by 2030.
In 2016, we compared all of the SDGs with our value chain, focussing on the ones more relevant to our business. On the basis of this analysis, we drew up an A2A Policy Statement and A2A Sustainabillity Plan, which set out and report on our commitments to environmental and social issues.
Starting with the 2017 edition, we decided to write regional sustainability reports, outlining our contribution to reaching the UN SDGs.
The SDGs
Our concrete contribution to 12 SDGs
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development is a plan of action for people, the planet and prosperity; it was signed in September 2015 by the governments of 193 UN member states. It encompasses 17 Sustainable Development Goals, SDGs, in a far-reaching plan of action for a total of 169 ‘targets’.
