00:00:01.360 --> 00:00:05.480
Autostrade per l’Italia Group is an
integrated mobility operator

2
00:00:05.480 --> 00:00:09.720
managing over 3,000 kilometers
of roadways throughout Italy.

3
00:00:10.800 --> 00:00:15.120
With a network of toll roads used by
more than 2 million vehicles daily,

4
00:00:15.120 --> 00:00:20.520
Autostrade per l’Italia has a mandate to make
climate mitigation, adaptation, and resilience

5
00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:23.520
an essential part of its infrastructure planning.

6
00:00:24.040 --> 00:00:27.120
Road transportation is one of the single largest

7
00:00:27.400 --> 00:00:31.880
emitters of greenhouse gas, and
for that reason we need to start

8
00:00:32.160 --> 00:00:35.560
changing our business model
and promoting sustainability.

9
00:00:36.000 --> 00:00:41.480
Since 2020, we have put sustainability
at the heart of our operation.

10
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:45.080
We are all seeing the impact
of climate change

11
00:00:45.160 --> 00:00:48.640
and we needed to identify the biggest risks.

12
00:00:48.920 --> 00:00:53.040
Autostrade per l’Italia is
investing nearly €1.7 billion

13
00:00:53.040 --> 00:00:58.720
into projects that will support the company's
action plan to achieve net-zero by 2050.

14
00:00:58.760 --> 00:01:04.880
We see an increasing awareness
from financial investors in sustainability

15
00:01:05.200 --> 00:01:09.120
and ESG metrics and parameters,
and there is a need to approach

16
00:01:09.480 --> 00:01:13.720
financial markets with a clear
and well-defined strategy.

17
00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:19.280
We have designed, with the help of BCG,
our long-term ESG strategy,

18
00:01:19.280 --> 00:01:22.880
working on how to make more sustainable
our infrastructure,

19
00:01:22.880 --> 00:01:26.440
both from a construction
and from a maintenance point of view.

20
00:01:26.840 --> 00:01:32.840
We worked on a net-zero strategy
and we have also engaged our supply chain

21
00:01:32.840 --> 00:01:36.280
in making our ESG strategy
more consistent.

22
00:01:36.840 --> 00:01:40.480
Besides setting targets,
our investors want to see

23
00:01:40.480 --> 00:01:44.480
those targets verified
by independent assessors like SBTi.

24
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:48.640
We have more than 3,000 suppliers,

25
00:01:49.080 --> 00:01:51.760
60% of them have been onboarded

26
00:01:52.040 --> 00:01:57.280
with the Open-es platform
that measures suppliers’ sustainabilities.

27
00:01:57.760 --> 00:02:01.520
The company’s infrastructure model
integrates sustainability

28
00:02:01.520 --> 00:02:05.200
throughout its entire lifecycle,
using innovative solutions

29
00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:09.280
like decongestion strategies
and electric vehicle charging stations.

30
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:13.920
The goal is energy efficiency
in both construction and usage,

31
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:16.480
while also improving safety
and resilience.

32
00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.280
Ultimately, Autostrade per l’Italia Group

33
00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.360
hopes to eliminate its
carbon footprint by 2050.

34
00:02:22.440 --> 00:02:27.600
It's a duty we have as a leadership
in one of the largest corporates

35
00:02:27.600 --> 00:02:30.600
in Italy to promote and foster
sustainability.

36
00:02:31.080 --> 00:02:34.240
It's a duty that we have
towards our citizens,

37
00:02:34.240 --> 00:02:37.520
our children, and our country.
