Materiality Analysis
The entry into force of the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) determines new rules for sustainability reporting, with the aim of improving transparency and quality of information on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues provided by companies. This framework introduces the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) - 12 new reporting standards (2 General, 5 Environmental, 4 Social, 1 Governance) mandatory for companies subject to the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) from 2024 onward, to set in place standardised reporting practices across the European Union and support a sustainable transition, based on reliable and comparable information.
In this context, Autostrade per l'Italia updated its Double Materiality definition method, by adopting a stakeholder engagement process that involved group employees, administration and control bodies, suppliers, field experts, associations and financial institutions.
Purpose of this analysis was the identification of the relevant impacts, risks and opportunities along the entire value chain, in line with the new standards, according to which reporting needs to be carried out across several scopes. Specific policies, objectives, targets and resources to achieve them need to be defined for each scope.
Reporting scopes include: climate change, pollution, water management, biodiversity, circular economy, company and supply chain workforce, community, customers and business conduct.
The ESG Statement defines the Group’s strategies for adopting sustainable actions and behaviours.
