Strategy and commitments

Aware of the essential role of our infrastructure in the ecological transition, we have developed strategies aligned with decarbonisation objectives, with the aim of generating positive impacts on the planet, people and the economic system.

The role of the gas network

Strategia e impegni

We operate in a context marked by profound evolutions: in order to fight climate change and achieve climate neutrality by 2050 (Net Zero), as set by the European Union’s plans, it is necessary to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and diversify energy sources.

Our strategic choices in recent years have anticipated the approach of national and EU institutions towards decarbonisation and the containment of greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, gas infrastructures, thanks to their extension and capillarity, have and will play a key role in decarbonisation (note: link to the Italgas page for the transition in the About Us section):

  • in the short term, they can replace more polluting energy sources (coal and oil in particular), while ensuring the security of the system, given that renewable sources, such as wind and solar, are not programmable;
  • In the long term, it will be possible to progressively replace fossil gas with renewable gases, in particular biomethane and green hydrogen.

Biomethane and hydrogen for the future

Biomethane is the clearest example of a renewable energy source, because it is already available and able to guarantee energy security, decarbonization of consumption and cost competitiveness at the same time.

In the long term, hydrogen will be critical due to its programmability, storage potential and compatibility with existing infrastructure.

The prerequisite for achieving the energy transition is the digital transformation of the networks  which allows the creation of a smart, digital and flexible network capable of accommodating renewable gases: we have been working on the digitization of assets, processes and people for some time now, and, thanks to our cutting-edge technology,  We position ourselves as a benchmark in our industry.

Innovation for the water network

Strategia e impegni

We have begun to borrow the technology developed for gas networks from the water networks, in the belief that the digital upgrade will allow an immediate and important reduction in water losses, of the order of 15-20 percentage points. Not surprisingly, the water sector is one of the most strategic sectors included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR). Also in this area, we are able to bring added value to make the sector make an important leap in quality, thanks to our cutting-edge technology, our execution capacity and our vision of development at the service of the country.

We are convinced that digital transformation can improve the quality of service and create new efficiency, helping to realise our idea of a “living” network, which distributes gas or water, favouring the ecological transition.

Innovation for energy saving

Energy efficiency is a key sector for promoting the ecological transition. We are present in this sector through our ESCo Geoside, which specializes in energy consulting.

Strategia e impegni

An integrated strategy

The integration between the business plan and the sustainability strategies contributes to the realization of 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. Thinking sustainable means acting now to build the future, generating positive impacts on the planet, people and the economic system. These three areas represent the pillars of our Sustainable Value Creation Plan 2023-2029 "Builders of the future". Each of these pillars corresponds to precise lines of action, with clear commitments and measurable targets, which will have a medium-long term impact.

  • Builders of the future

    For the future of the planet

  • Builders of the future

    For the future of people

  • Builders of the future

    For a sustainable future together

    Our commitment to generating positive impacts

    The Sustainable Value Creation Plan 2023-2029 presents our sustainability ambition, detailing actions and targets for the future of the planet, for the future of people and for a sustainable future together.
