(AGENPARL) – lun 11 marzo 2024 TERNA IS A GLOBAL LEADER IN THE FIGHT AGAINST
CLIMATE CHANGE
The group has obtained a score of ‘A’, the highest available rating, from CDP (formerly the
Carbon Disclosure Project)
Rome, 11 March 2024 – Terna has been included on the list of leading international companies
getting their suppliers involved in the fight against climate change, thanks to the information
gathered through the Climate Change survey of CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project).
CDP is a global non-profit organisation specialising in environmental reporting and assessing the
climate performances and strategies adopted by companies. The group led by Giuseppina Di
Foggia has in fact achieved an ‘A’ rating, the maximum possible score (on a scale from ‘D-’ to ‘A’),
improving on last year’s ‘A-’.
The score assigned to Terna places the company in the “Leadership” category, above the average
for the sector (“B-”), the European average (“B-”) and the global average (“C”).
In particular, CDP’s assessment of supplier engagement has rewarded Terna’s efforts for the
quality of reporting on “Scope 3” emissions, those which come from the value chain, and has
commended the Group’s commitment to reducing such emissions, as certified by the Sciencebased Target Initiative in 2023. The accolade is also in line with the company’s work to promote
the circular economy, which took concrete form in the recent launch of the Terna Roadmap, aimed
at making the company a leader in this field.
This latest recognition comes in addition to the recent CDP assessment which placed Terna in the
leadership category among companies committed to fighting climate change. Among the
company’s strengths, its governance, level of management and disclosure of climate-altering
emissions were highlighted, as well as the application of challenging targets to reduce its carbon
footprint and the integration of the strategy to combat climate change into the company’s business
model.
Terna’s leadership in the field of sustainability, with its recognition as a top performer by the
leading ESG ratings agencies, is demonstrated at the global level by the Group’s inclusion in the
main ESG indices and leading classifications, including: the Dow Jones Sustainability Index,
STOXX Global ESG Leaders, FTSE4Good, Euronext Vigeo Eiris, Bloomberg Gender Equality
Index, S&P Global 1200 ESG, MIB ESG, ECPI and recent “LargeMidCap SDG Index”, launched in
January 2024 by S&P Global, which measures companies’ alignment with the 17 UN sustainable
development goals.
