Our performance

We communicate our sustainability performance to stakeholders, providing a transparent view of Italgas’ commitment and impact.

Since 2016 we have been reporting on our environmental, social and governance actions and achievements.

We started with our first Sustainability Report, and then from 2017 we prepared the Non-Financial Statement pursuant to Legislative Decree 254/2016. After three editions, in 2020 we have chosen to inaugurate a new season of our reporting by publishing the Italgas Group’s first Integrated Annual Report. The intention is to provide an effective and transparent representation of the company’s ability to create value over time, reporting financial and non-financial performance in an integrated manner.
We adopt the GRI Sustainability Reporting Standards, published in 2016 by the Global Reporting Initiative, according to the “In accordance – Core” option and refer to the guiding principles and content elements set out in the International Integrated Reporting Framework issued by the International Integrated Reporting Council.

In addition, the reported indicators are audited by an external company.

Changing Perspectives

There is only one way to the future, that of a deeply integrated sustainability.

SOCIAL COST OF WORK-RELATED INJURIES

Social cost of work-related injuries represents the impact evaluation methodology to assess the external impact to affected stakeholders with regard to the issue “Safety of network, assets and people”. Ouput KPI (n. of injuries) was assessed through a social cost of work-related injuries, resulting in a total negative impact of approx. 1,478 thousands euros. Considering that 9 injuries for the Group’s contractors occurred, the social cost of work-related injuries resulted in a total negative impact of 604,557 euros.

*86% of the liberal disbursements activated by the Group in 2020 consisted of donations to various hospitals for the purchase of machinery, equipment, and functional garrisons (such as devices for the protection of health facility personnel, inpatient beds and technical equipment) and contributed to the setting up of new areas to meet the needs arising from the emergency situation related to the pandemic and ensure hospital service.

Suppliers

All Italgas suppliers are assessed according to social criteria, regardless of year and category. On the other hand, for the suppliers assessed using environmental criteria, the percentage is 29% for the “Goods” category, 16% for the “Works” category and 21% for the “Services” category. As shown by the graph below, the trends are nevertheless increasing over the years monitored (respectively: Goods +10%, Works +3%, Services +6.5% compared to 2020).

SOCIAL COST OF CARBON

Social cost of carbon represents the the impact evaluation methodology to assess the external impact to affected stakeholders with regard to the issue “Energy transition and fight against climate change”. Ouput KPI (tons of CO2 avoided by ESCo activity) was assessed through a social cost of carbon, resulting in a total positive impact of approx. 726 thousands euros.
