The challenges and our action for the Ecological Transition
The climate crisis and the new economic and social challenges demand a change of perspective in the interest of future generations, as also indicated in the recent amendment to article 9 of our Constitution
The founding elements of our raison d’être – energy, water and environment – are the levers with which we intend to stimulate this change towards a real ecological transition that represents an opportunity for everyone.
In fact, being a Life Company means striving for a sustainable quality of life for the land, for the environment and for people, preserving resources and fighting climate change. This concept is at the basis of our strategy and our services.
We at A2A have the infrastructures and the skills to fulfil the Ecological Transition that the world urgently requires.
We are taking concrete action to achieve this goal, with substantial investments in renewable energy sources, in the upgrading and digitalization of our infrastructures, in the limitation of the use of landfills, in the use of green hydrogen in the energy mix and in the reduction of network water losses.
In our strategy, 78% of investments are eligible under the EU Taxonomy Regulation.
Our commitment to decarbonization
We have defined an industrial plan that will allow us to continue the path of reducing our emissions trajectory in the long term
Sustainability and ESG issues are the basis of our new 2024-2035 Strategic Plan.
Our investment plan is, in fact, based on continuous renewal and conversion of our infrastructures so as to accelerate Italy’s decarbonization.
- Constantly listening to our Stakeholders
On March 2, 2020, the SBTi declared that A2A's direct and indirect CO2 emission reduction targets (Scope 1-2) are aligned with the reductions required to keep global warming below 2°C. The Group estimates to reach a value close to 226 gCO2/kWh within the decade - equivalent to a 47% reduction in the CO2 emission factor compared to the 2017 value (425 gCO2/kWh).
With the new 2024-2035 Industrial Plan, we have decided to relaunch this commitment, setting a target for 2035 of a -65% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to the 2017 value. This commitment has also been extended to the value chain, for which we have defined emission reduction targets for suppliers and customers.
- We follow the guidelines of the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosure
We are committed to identifying and formally recording the most significant climate risks and opportunities, and their economic impact on our activities.
We are committed to reducing emissions along the value chain
There is no future without water. But in the future we will have less and less water. Climate change, waste and careless management have put this resource at risk. A2A is ready to be a responsible player on a common front to protect the water resource.

A new approach to everyday life services
Thanks to our services, we promote a sustainable lifestyle
We work to raise the awareness of communities, of our customers about the responsible lifestyles needed to counter climate change. From the sorting of waste to e-mobility, we provide information, apps and other digital resources to enable everyone to make informed decisions and contribute to the construction of a sustainable future for future generations.
Our promise in a roadmap
Our journey towards the ecological transition foresees precise stages and targets so that nobody will be left behind
The transition towards a Net Zero world also has a social dimension in our pathway of development. In this context, the role of businesses is even clearer and more relevant since the social dimensions of the Just Transition framework are intrinsic to companies’ operations: meaningful work, responsible management of supply chains, support for the well-being of the communities in which businesses operate.
