Minimising environmental impact and zeroing the carbon footprint through emission reduction initiatives, energy efficiency and renewable energy production.

Net zero

The Autostrade per l’Italia Group has strengthened its commitment to decarbonisation by defining a Net Zero Plan with targets for 2030 and 2050, validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), in line with the objectives of the Paris Agreement. The Group’s decarbonisation pathway translates into modernisation and enhancement initiatives across the network, aimed at reducing its carbon footprint, developing sustainable mobility models and strengthening infrastructure resilience to climate change. This is also achieved through innovative and digitalised solutions designed to extend the useful life of assets.

To further strengthen this pathway, in 2024 ASPI published its first Climate Transition Plan, a document defining the strategy and objectives to support the transition towards a low greenhouse gas emissions economy, adapt infrastructure to the impacts of extreme climate events and contribute to the achievement of global climate targets. The Plan provides a comprehensive overview of the Group’s climate ambition, implementation and risk mitigation levers, financial planning, stakeholder engagement, governance model, as well as the objectives and monitoring metrics adopted.

How we reduce our environmental impact:

100%
electricity from renewable sources
>50%
warm-mix asphalt production compared with Amplia’s total production
SBTI
SBTi-validated Near-Term and Long-Term Targets
38
diesel-fired thermal power plants replaced
1.935
Km of wildlife protection fencing installed by 2025
177
tunnels upgraded with new LED lighting systems
60
Hectares of land planted with trees
10
Amplia plants converted from BTZ to LNG/LPG or natural gas
728
charging points activated along the network
>95%
(98% in 2025) of annual waste directed to recovery processes since 2022

Protecting biodiversity

Sustainable infrastructure

Autostrade per l'Italia aims to develop safe and resilient infrastructure and protect the ecosystem balance in the design, construction and maintenance of the network, minimising environmental impact.
The Group has therefore developed a sustainable infrastructure model that integrates ESG elements into its entire life cycle, promoting the adoption of innovative solutions in all areas and the involvement of the local communities concerned.

Envision Protocol

To ensure the highest standards of sustainable design, Autostrade adopts the Envision protocol, the first international certification system for assessing infrastructural sustainability. As of 2022, the Group has obtained certification for some of its major infrastructure projects and has defined Guidelines for integrating sustainability principles into all projects. A document was also adopted to apply the Protocol to the interventions of the Tunnels Assessment Plan.
