SDG 12
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
Sustainable consumption and production means promoting resource and energy efficiency, sustainable infrastructure, as well as ensuring access to basic services, decent and environmentally friendly jobs and a better quality of life for everyone.
Its actualisation contributes to the implementation of overall development plans, the reduction of future economic, environmental and social costs, the improvement of economic competitiveness and the reduction of poverty.
Sustainable consumption and production aim to “do more and better with less”, increasing the welfare benefits derived from economic activities, through a reduction in the use of resources, degradation and pollution throughout the production cycle, thus improving the quality of life.

Rationalize inefficient fossil-fuel subsidies that encourage wasteful consumption by removing market distortions, in accordance with national circumstances, including by restructuring taxation and phasing out those harmful subsidies, where they exist, to reflect their environmental impacts, taking fully into account the specific needs and conditions of developing countries and minimizing the possible adverse impacts on their development in a manner that protects the poor and the affected communities
How do we share the value we produce?
We are a key protagonist of Italy’s economic, social and productive panorama, as a unique Company in the country in terms of size, recognisability and presence.
There is a close connection between the results we achieve through our business model and the needs of the Italian territory.
We collaborate to achieve the objectives of SDG 12 by creating value with:
“Postenibilità” is...
Through our Strategic Plan, we set ourselves the objective of achieving responsible growth and accompanying the country’s path to sustainability and social inclusion. In defining the Plan’s investment choices, we also assessed the contribution of each intervention to the Group’s 8 Pillars of Sustainability.
