Materiality analysis
We identify the issues which are most relevant to stakeholders, consistent with the company strategy.
In 2019 we began a process to update our materiality analysis with the aim of identifying the priority areas for our stakeholders and simultaneously understanding their integration and consistency with the issues relevant to the company which were already expressed in the Sustainability Plan.
We decided to share the materiality matrix, the result of an engagement process in line with the best reference case. In this regard, we first completed a preparatory activity to identify the main issues by consulting various national and international, public and non-public, internal and external information sources and examining the best practices in the sector.
Then we identified the most relevant issues during a meeting with the representatives of our stakeholders and top company management: both parties had the same weight and the voting was anonymous. We selected the participating external stakeholders based on their background and knowledge of the territory, the social and cultural fabric and our company.
Selected stakeholders
The new analysis
On the contrary, all those issues related to the management of water resources were still not directly perceived by the market as material today, for example service digitisation, supply chain innovation, digital culture, cybersecurity and, again, the guarantee of solutions close to people and the management of users in difficulty.
Circular economy and innovation
Our initiatives in favour of the circular economy and innovation.
Hydraulic risk and overflowing
