Capacity Building: shaping a future of shared values
From Suppliers to Strategic Partners on a shared path
Global changes require immediate action to define strategies consistent with sustainability challenges: energy efficiency, the fight against climate change, governance and business ethics, human rights, health and safety, Diversity & Inclusion, cybersecurity and innovation.
Italgas has long since embarked on a path of sustainability based on ambitious and measurable goals, collected in the Group’s Sustainable Value Creation Plan. Today, this ambition is also extended to suppliers through a dedicated growth and involvement programme: Capacity Building.
The Capacity Building Programme
An initiative designed to support and guide Italgas suppliers along a path of sustainable development and sharing of best practices along the entire Supply Chain.
The objective is twofold: to ensure the achievement of Italgas’ ESG objectives and to promote a more responsible and competitive corporate ecosystem. Suppliers, in fact, represent a strategic extension of the business, contributing to the success of the Group and to the creation of value for the entire sector.
The Objectives of the Programme
Capacity Building is based on four strategic pillars:
-
Energy efficiency and combating climate change
-
Governance and business ethics
-
Human Rights, Diversity & Inclusion
-
Cybersecurity & Innovation
Through this programme, suppliers will be able to:
-
Improve their ESG performance
Aligning with Italgas standards

Prepare for new European regulatory obligations
Such as CSRD and CSDD, which impose greater transparency and accountability in the management of environmental and social impacts
-

and implement shared strategies to prevent negative impacts
