(AGENPARL) – gio 20 luglio 2023 Versalis publishes decarbonisation targets in the latest
Sustainability Report
San Donato Milanese (MI), 20 July 2023 – Versalis, Eni’s chemical company, has published
the 2022 Sustainability Report, illustrating its contribution to the development of more
sustainable and circular models in line with Eni’s strategy and values. The document also
outlines the targets set by the company to achieve carbon neutrality by 2050. Being energyintensive, the chemical industry bears a heavy responsibility in the decarbonisation
challenge since deemed ‘hard to abate’, i.e. difficult to decarbonize.
Versalis aims to play a key role in the transition through the development of complementary
and synergistic technologies, products and solutions that support a lower-emissions
business model and contribute to a more sustainable future.
Adriano Alfani, CEO of Versalis said: “We are committed to making a contribution to
contrasting climate change through our daily actions: by identifying more sustainable
alternatives for the supply of feedstocks and energy; by developing chemistry from
renewables; by adopting solutions aimed at reducing energy impact; and by conducting
research activities dedicated to the development of new technologies, processes and
products for decarbonisation. We work to ensure that the path towards decarbonisation
offers growth opportunities for the social fabric and prosperity of the communities we operate
in, developing new activities and supply chains”.
The Sustainability Report highlights cross-cutting emission reduction targets: compared to
reference year 2018, 15% for Scopes 1 and 2 by 2025 and 30% by 2035. These short- and
medium-term targets are fundamental milestones for achieving the Net Zero* goal by 2050.
Specific actions have also been identified to achieve these targets: as to Scope 1, activities
on industrial processes and in particular on steam-cracking; as to Scope 2, increases in
plant efficiency and use of renewable energy; as to Scope 3, the development of circular
economy initiatives and chemistry from renewables, for which the direct involvement of the
entire network of suppliers and customers is needed, encouraging them to reduce
emissions.
