Our Role
The Purpose, Vision and Mission that we have defined represent our compass: they express the role we want to play, our vision of the future and the meaning of our daily action.
We are leaders in gas distribution in Italy and Greece, and with the acquisition of 2i Rete Gas, finalised in April 2025, we are the European champion in the sector. In over 185 years of history, we have brought energy to Italian homes, businesses and communities, contributing to the country’s economic and social development.
Today, our experience and capacity for innovation are at the service of the energy transition. Gas networks play an essential role in ensuring gas availability, energy security and cost sustainability for citizens and businesses.
The Industrial Plan 2025-2031 marks a historic milestone with €16.5 billion in investments, the largest in the Group’s history.
The integration of 2i Rete Gas, completed in just 90 days with the migration of data and processes, has strengthened the Group’s industrial profile, allowing it to revise its future objectives upwards. The plan includes investments in the development and digital upgrade of networks in Italy and Greece to make them smart, flexible infrastructures ready to manage growing shares of renewable gas, such as biomethane and hydrogen, thus ensuring the efficiency and stability of the energy system.
Our business in Greece, launched in 2022 with Enaon, is a key part of this commitment, contributing to the decarbonisation process and the phase-out of coal and lignite envisaged by the European Union.
This technological drive now extends to the water and energy efficiency sectors, which are set to receive almost €800 million in funding. In the water sector, the aim is to step up investment to reduce losses and streamline management through the digitalisation of networks. In energy efficiency, the challenge is to offer increasingly advanced solutions in the sectors in which we operate.
Technological innovation, digital transformation and the widespread use of Artificial Intelligence are distinctive features of the Italgas Group in all its activities. These factors combine with the passion and expertise of the women and men of Italgas, who become the real driving force behind growth.

Our Purpose
Pioneers by passion and builders by vocation, we offer all our energy to accelerate the ecological transition. We do it for ourselves. We all make them.
Our purpose guides our activities and our investments.
The 2025-2031 Strategic Plan envisages, in fact, an increase in investments both for the digital transformation of assets and to strengthen the presence in the energy efficiency sector. Our goal is to play a leading role in the energy transition path towards the decarbonization of the economy and consumption, and for the achievement of the European Union’s climate goals.
Our purpose engages all our people, permeates our processes to create quoted value with all stakeholders and guides our vision of the future.
Our Vision
Being a protagonist in the world of energy, guiding its evolution with continuous and sustainable innovation, to improve people’s quality of life.
We talk about energy, in the plural, because the energy mix of the future will not only be linked to fossil gas: renewable gases, such as biomethane and, in the longer term, hydrogen and synthetic methane, will play an increasingly important role in the transition as will energy efficiency solutions. For us, innovation is not an end in itself: it is necessary to fight against climate change, guarantee a quality, safe and reliable service to our customers, develop the skills of our people, and spread knowledge in the area. Our daily work derives from this vision, which we have summarized in our mission.
Innovation is an accelerator of our digital transformation. It is an open process, because we open ourselves to the outside by creating synergies, and inclusive, because with our Digital Factory we involve more and more colleagues

Head of Business Solutions & New Services at Bludigit
We support the energy transition by making our network available to accommodate renewable gases. By 2027 we will reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and energy consumption by 25%.

Our mission
We have been guaranteeing the community energy services with efficiency, safety and excellence for over 180 years. We promote the energy transition by creating the networks of the future and promoting innovative and sustainable solutions. We take care of local communities. We nurture positive and generative relationships with everyone we reach: citizens, companies, suppliers and Quoteholders. We are opening up to new markets where we can apply our distinctive skills. We promote the growth of people and enhance talents, building inclusive and stimulating work environments.
Our projects give concrete answers for a sustainable future for us, our community and for future generations. We are aware of our crucial role in the energy transition, to ensure flexibility in the energy system and to distribute renewable gas. This is a great challenge that we can only face thanks to the people who work with us.
Our commitment to a sustainable future
Purpose, Vision and Mission are the values that guide us: they are closely connected not only to our business strategies, but also to the 2025-2031 Sustainable Value Creation Plan, which defines our lines of action for the Planet, People and Partnerships even outside our organisation.
