Action
- In 2022 the involvement of territorial stakeholders was strengthened: 9 multistakeholder forums were held in A2A's 6 "historical locations" (Bergamo, Valtellina-Valchiavenna, Brescia, Friuli Venezia-Giulia, Milan and Piedmont) and the 3 "new" territories in South Italy (Calabria, Sicily and Puglia). These collectively generated 30 shared value projects, supporting awareness-raising initiatives to adopt responsible behaviors in terms of energy efficiency and resource protection.
- Through the cooperative use of a digital platform, more than 20 corporate structures mapped more than 850 stakeholders and more than 1,600 engagement activities.
- As part of partnerships with universities and research institutions, A2A and the Milan Polytechnic University signed a five-year agreement worth a total of 8 mln euros for the development of innovation, research, and training initiatives in the Energy & Utility sector to support the country's ecological transition.
- In addition, the Group has improved the iL@b programme, a real talent incubator. Thanks to this, youth have the opportunity to test themselves with work experiences on different fronts, vertically and transversally across the various Group structures. The aim is to facilitate collaboration between company structures and the university world to bring new people into A2A. During the year, 38% of the 68 open job postings were filled by internal company candidates.
- Within the current global economic and geopolitical context A2A has collaborated with The European House - Ambrosetti, in the drafting of two position papers. The first, entitled: "Towards Italian energy autonomy: water, wind, sun, waste our raw materials. The fundamental
contribution of the regions to the achievement of our goals" showed that by harnessing their own raw materials and acting on electrification of consumption and efficiency, Italy can achieve 58.4% energy autonomy, almost tripling current levels. The second, with a focus on the Center-South of the country: "Towards Italian energy autonomy: the role of the Center-South", which shows that considerable growth in installed power can be achieved by activating renewable energy sources, with the Center-South accounting for 60% of additional solar power (105.1 GW total at Italian level); 95% of wind power development opportunities (21.1 GW total at national level); 23% of additional hydroelectric power (3.3 GW total at national level); 63% of the total
opportunities in Italy for energy recovery from waste and 37% for biomethane production. - In 2022, A2A innovated its historical support to local theatre foundations (La Scala Theatre in Milan, Teatro Grande in Brescia, Donizetti Theatre in Bergamo and Centro Teatrale Bresciano) by stipulating new agreements on a multi-year basis to develop the relationship for joint initiatives based on common objectives and values with the devolution of part of the proceeds from ticket sales to the Banco dell'Energia Foundation. The strategic relationship with theatres also brings employees and citizens closer to culture through promotions (discounts, free events, etc.) and the digital sharing of special content.
