A2A: We are a Life Company

We are a life Company because we strive each day to improve the quality of life in the communities where we operate. There are thirteen thousand of us at the service of the general public and of businesses; we take care to give voice to the new generations and 
we want to be at the fore with them in Italy’s growth, promoting a vision of the world based on the principles of sustainability.

We use the highest skills and the most advanced technologies to contribute to Italy’s ecological transition, making the best possible use of energy and minimizing the impact on the environment.

In fact, being a Life Company means aiming at a sustainable quality of life for the areas that we serve, the environment and people themselves, preserving resources and countering climate change. This concept is at the core of our strategy and our services.

The climate crisis and the new economic and social challenges make necessary a change in outlook, in the interest of the future generations, as indicated in the recent amendment to article 9 of the Italian Constitution.
The founding elements of our very existence – energy, water and the environment – are the levers with which we intend to bring about this change towards a real ecological transition that represents an opportunity for everyone.
Because clean energy can be infinite when we generate it from the sun, from water and from the wind. Because, for us, there is no wastage, only resources: everything can be regenerated and recycled to create new energy and new material.

Ours is a unique business model on the Italian energy and utilities stage by way of its capacity for generating shared value. Our diversified activities enable us to achieve synergies between the sectors in which we are present (energy, environment, water cycle), creating real models of the ecological transition. Our presence through key services for people’s daily life determines a growing commitment to making our achievements measurable. We focus constantly on ESG (environmental, social, governance) criteria in a logic of integration between economic, social and environmental aspects in corporate decision-making processes, in the definition of strategy, in governance and in the definition of our business model.

The international geo-political context, the evolution of the climate emergency and the need for greater self-sufficiency in energy have contributed to making even more solid the two mainstays of our Business Plan: the circular economy and the energy transition.
We set out to make a substantial contribution in the necessary cultural and infrastructural change for Italy and its communities, thanks to a diversified business model and to the quality of our portfolio of assets along the entire value chain of energy, of the environment and of water.

The transformation of our services and the creation of infrastructures to overcome the shortage in facilities faced by some parts of Italy, while minimising our carbon footprint, can only be fulfilled if there is a constant dialogue with communities in the areas where we operate.
Our objective is to generate shared, long-lasting value for these areas. This translates into the willingness to reconcile our achievements with those of the communities we serve. We are, in particular, committed to being accountable to them for our activities, sharing the benefits expected from our services and from our infrastructures in the area.
