Scenario

Challenges and opportunities in a global, ever-evolving context

In a global scenario affected by escalating disruptions, businesses around the world face critical challenges that span from climate change to resource depletion and social inequalities. Europe is at the forefront of the transformation towards a more sustainable ecosystem.

A decarbonized pathway for the future

Buildings account for nearly one-third of global final energy consumption and, in Europe, 62.8% of the total residential energy consumption stems from space heating, while 15.1% from water heating. Thermal comfort industry can accelerate building stock decarbonization through renewable and high-efficiency solutions enhanced by digital technologies.

Decarbonization, circular practices, and sustainability across the production chain

Global businesses are increasing efforts to reach carbon neutrality by 2050, as included in Europe's Green Deal, and reduce GHG emissions by at least 55% by 2030, aligning with the Fit for 55 package. In parallel, the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence and the EU Conflict Minerals Regulation foster companies' transparency and responsible procurement, and the Circular Economy Action Plan (CEAP) promotes circularity in production and consumption patterns.

An ever-evolving professional landscape

Employee well-being is increasingly recognized by companies as closely linked to high levels of productivity, and career development opportunities have become critical for talent retention, especially since employee skills are expected to change by approximately 40% by 2025. Albeit, Global Gender Gap Index estimated that 132 years are still needed to reach full gender equality.

Customer proximity and excellence: the prosumer era

Sustainable governance

The Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the related new reporting standards developed by the European Financial Reporting Advisory Group (EFRAG) extend reporting obligations to all large companies in the EU and set more stringent commitments. Additionally, Europe has set a directive on improving the gender balance among directors of listed companies.

Our targets

We defined a comprehensive ESG strategy

A plan dedicated to seamlessly integrating sustainability into our corporate approach.

We are aware that sustainability means long-term vision and clear-cut objectives, which can be achieved only through a solid path of initiatives and concrete actions. Our strategy spans five key areas of engagement, ensuring an integrated approach to environmental, social, and governance responsibility. Our roadmap sets out a detailed and structured plan, built on short- and medium-term targets and supported by concrete initiatives.

A set of ambitious decarbonization targets to 2030.

As a player operating in a sector that enables significant GHG emissions reduction, we defined near-term emission reduction targets in Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 that were validated by the Science Based Target initiative (SBTi). In addition, we are committed to improving the efficiency of the installed park by offering highly-energy efficient solutions, increasingly relying on renewable energy.
