Sustainability Governance

Integrity, Transparency, Responsibility

In carrying out its activities and managing relationships with all its stakeholders, the Autostrade per l’Italia Group is committed every day to maintaining high ethical standards, in line with the principles that guide its actions. This is an essential condition for creating long-term value for the Group itself and for society as a whole. The Autostrade per l’Italia Group promotes a corporate culture based on integrity, transparency and responsibility and adopts rigorous policies to prevent and detect unethical conduct. The Group also promotes continuous training on business ethics principles and strongly encourages the reporting of any irregularities through secure whistleblowing channels.

The ESG&HS Committee, composed of members of the Board of Directors, among other things, supports the Board in reviewing and evaluating sustainability initiatives.

The ESG Management Committee, chaired by the Chief Executive Officer, proposes ESG guidelines to the ESG&HS Committee (for the purposes of its support to the Board) and ensures the monitoring of the progress of the Sustainability Plan. The Diversity, Equity & Inclusion subcommittee also operates within the Committee.

The Sustainability function supports the implementation of ESG initiatives and monitors the progress of the Sustainability Plan through dedicated KPIs and objectives. It is also responsible for sustainability reporting in accordance with current regulations and standards (Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive - CSRD).

ESG Ambassadors identify and promote new initiatives in line with ESG guidelines and support the Sustainability function in all its responsibilities, promoting the Group's ESG culture within their respective structures. The Sustainability function is supported by the Sustainability Office, which provides operational support to the Sustainability function and the ESG Ambassadors.
