SDG 6
Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all
Accessible, clean water is an essential aspect of the world we want to live in. Our planet has enough drinking water to achieve this goal.
Shortages and poor-quality water, along with inadequate sanitation systems, have a negative impact on food security, livelihood choices and education opportunities for poor families around the world. Drought affects some of the world’s poorest countries, worsening hunger and malnutrition.
By 2050, at least one in four people is likely to be affected by long-term or recurring drinking water shortages.

By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally
By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity
By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate
By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes
By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies
Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management
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 6 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.
