Why we do it

We have always put sustainability at the centre of our strategy

For us, sustainability is not only a commitment, not only words, not only numbers. It is how we choose where to invest, how we work, and what we measure. We do it to reduce emissions, recover resources, and create more value in the areas we serve. We want to make the ecological transition real, measurable, and accessible to everyone.

Ecological transition

The ecological transition is our business

Our strategy takes shape through construction sites, facilities and networks, with full respect for ecosystems and biodiversity. We will invest €23 billion by 2035 across our two industrial pillars: the energy transition and the circular economy. It is an integrated model, where a new approach to innovation—circular and sustainable—accelerates every process.

We are transforming Italy’s energy

More clean energy, stronger networks, and accessible electric mobility. Coal phase-out, renewables, smart hydropower.

Turning resources into new resources

From data centre heat to sewage sludge, we connect the entire resource cycle in a generative model.

Circular Innovation for the future of the planet

AI, robotics, digital twins, storage systems: future-fit technologies that accelerate the transition.

Protecting ecosystems is part of the transition

We safeguard soils, species and habitats in the areas where we operate, involving local communities.

Renato Mazzoncini

Sustainability remains central to our strategy. We confirm our Net Zero target for 2050 and the reduction of our emissions intensity by 2030, in line with our vision of a responsible energy future that respects future generations and the planet’s resources.

People and communities

Improving people’s quality of life is our commitment

A successful ecological transition must first and foremost be fair, ensuring accessible energy for families and businesses, career opportunities for those entering the labour market, and communities capable of managing their own resources.

A shared journey with local areas and businesses

Fondazione Banco dell'energia, renewable PPAs, local sustainability reports, multi-stakeholder forums. The transition begins by listening to the specific needs of each community.

The transition belongs to the next generations

155,000 students reached through Futuro in Circolo, 17,100 visitors to our facilities, Green Jobs webinars. Because building skills for the transition is already part of the transition.

We are a Life Company, first and foremost for those who work with us

11,000 people involved in Life Sharing, €10 million for families through Life Caring, welfare, inclusion and participation policies. The wellbeing of our people is an integral part of our model.

Our approach to sustainability

Net Zero by 2050 is our goal

From 2017 to today, we have reduced our emissions intensity, increased the share of renewables, and expanded the recovery of materials and energy. In 2025, we published our Climate Transition Plan with a clear objective: to reduce our overall carbon footprint by around 90% compared with 2023, and to neutralise residual emissions through certified removals.

Sustainability Plan

We care about the quality of life and the future of the planet

Our sustainability reporting

Engaging with stakeholders on our performance

Sustainability reporting is a key moment for analysing and sharing our sustainability performance with our stakeholders.

Alignment with the European Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) has given A2A the opportunity to strengthen the path already undertaken in sustainability—enhancing processes, technological tools and governance, and fostering an increasingly structured dialogue with stakeholders, in the spirit of transparency.
