Terna at the top of global sustainability. For the third year, the Company led by Catia Bastioli and Matteo Del Fante has been included in the Gold Class of the RobecoSAM, Sustainability Yearbook 2015, which evaluates the performance of the sustainability policies of the 3.000 largest companies in the world.
With one of the highest scores in the basket, Terna is among the only three global companies included in the Gold Class of the Electric Utilities sector, i.e. the best performing companies in terms of sustainability. For Italy there are only 4 companies included in the Gold Class of the respective sector.
The continuous improvement of its ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance has earned Terna over time a constant growth in its sustainability ratings, the appreciation of socially responsible investors and its inclusion in the main international sustainability stock indexes such as Dow Jones Sustainability (World and Europe), STOXX Global ESG, FTSE4Good (Global and Europe), ECPI, FTSE ECPI; MSCI, ASPI Eurozone, Ethibel and Axia.
The result confirms the solidity of an Italian company that has always pursued its business objectives through a sustainable approach, also supported by the fact that this year RobecoSAM was attended by a record number of international companies, over 3.000, from 42 countries, divided into 59 different sectors. RobecoSAM is the international rating agency that screens companies by assessing their possibility of accessing, remaining in or exclusion from the Dow Jones Sustainability indexes based on strict economic, environmental and social performance criteria and a review of the main disputes .
The areas analyzed include risk management, corporate governance, environmental impacts, community relations, human resource management, stakeholder engagement, respect for human rights and supply chain control, all aspects for which quality and management responsibility are to be proven over time.
