SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
ACEA GROUP
The Sustainability Report, now in its 17th edition, seeks to give stakeholders a vision of the Company that combines economic and governance aspects with social and environmental concerns, in keeping with a focus on corporate sustainability that we want to strengthen and keep ever present in managing the Company. The business area in which the Group operates, providing services of general economic interest, and the long-term nature of its operations have helped to raise awareness within Acea of the social role it plays. Corporate social sustainability and responsibility are thus inherent in the Group’s identity, indeed they form part of its core values and code of conduct, its management methods and ways of engaging with stakeholders, as well as its monitoring of performance.
With regard to values, both the Code of Ethics, adopted in 2004 and updated in 2012, and commitment to the Global Compact, signed in 2007, bear witness to the constant efforts made over the years by Acea. This year we have attempted to strike the right balance between the principles set forth in the “Global compact” and actions undertaken, taken as elements belonging to the “advanced” level of the Communication on Progress disclosure, as per the Global Compact.
Founded in 1909 as an utility company of the Municipality of Rome, Acea is now one of Italy’s major multiutility companies active in the management and development of networks and services in the water, energy and environment sector.
