We support a socially fair energy transition to preserve the environment and ensure accessible energy for everyone.
We believe in a shared commitment and the participation of all stakeholders, including the supply chain.
Therefore, as Procurement we recognize the key role of our Supply Chain in the transformation journey and promote its sustainable development by actively contributing to the achievement of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
We share values, commitments and goals with the supply chain, verifying its ESG positioning at every stage of the process and supporting it on a sustainable growth path through programs aimed at improving ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) performance and market competitiveness.
Our commitment is structured around three pillars:
We involve every level of the supply chain in a path of improvement and sustainable development, sharing common goals and adopting a diversified model based on the ESG maturity of companies.
We provide specific tools for the sustainable development of small and medium-sized enterprises and ask large players to take on a leadership role in the transformation process to support supply chains. To foster convergence toward sustainable models across the entire value chain, we promote multi-stakeholder initiatives such as Open-es, a system-wide initiative that brings together the industrial, financial, and association worlds to support companies in their journey of measuring and improving their ESG dimensions with the goal of creating value and benefits for the entire business network.
We integrate the principles of environmental protection, social growth, and economic development at every stage of our process.
With this approach, we have adopted the "Sustainable Supply Chain Framework", a governance mechanism that combines corporate objectives, regulatory requirements, targets, and specific action plans that impact the procurement process and, more broadly, the supply chain. This framework manifests in comprehensive oversight across various sustainability dimensions, with a focus on priority ESG topics periodically identified based on the corporate strategic plan and the evolving regulatory landscape.
-
measurement and improvement tools like Open-es, a platform that, through a path based on standard metrics aligned with regulatory developments, allows companies to measure their ESG maturity, benchmark against industry standards, access personalized development plans, and solutions offered by specialized ESG entities;
-
financial support programs to support the supply chain, such as "Sustainable Supply Chain Finance," which allows suppliers to request advance payment of invoices without impacting their credit lines, encouraging the improvement of the company's ESG profile thanks to synergy with the Open-es platform;
- initiatives such as the Safety & Sustainable Supply Chain Award to share ESG best practices with suppliers and reward companies best performer in their performance and innovative projects.
We define and monitor targets and action plans with our suppliers to guide the common path towards a fair and sustainable transition.

"Our supply chain is a strategic factor in the ongoing industrial transformation: this is why we invest in developing our suppliers’ skills, in strengthening the competitiveness of their businesses in line with market demands, and in consolidating a culture of safety, which is a non-negotiable principle. Our work is enriched by ongoing dialogue with the business lines, to share strategic directions and pragmatic initiatives aimed at fostering dynamism and openness to innovation across the entire supply chain, in line with the energy and digital transition we are currently experiencing."
