Hera Group acquires 49% of Sangroservizi
Headquartered in Atessa (Chieti), Sangroservizi offers natural gas sales services to roughly 7,000 customers. Following the recent acquisition of Blu Ranton and prolonging the operations concluded over the last three years, Hera thus further consolidates its presence and its strong local roots in the Abruzzo region.
Slightly over a month after the acquisition of Blu Ranton, the Hera Group continues consolidating its locally rooted presence in the Abruzzo region. Through its subsidiary Hera Comm, indeed, it has purchased 49% of Sangroservizi S.r.l. from the Municipalities of Atessa, San Vito Chietino and Paglieta (all located in the Province of Chieti).
Established in 2003 and legally headquartered in Atessa, Sangroservizi is a company active in natural gas sales with roughly 7,000 customers.
This operation prolongs the series of acquisitions involving Fucino Gas, Alento Gas, Julia Servizi, Gran Sasso,Verducci Servizi and Enerpeligna, in addition to the aforementioned Blu Ranton. Thanks to them, in the last three years the Hera Group has become an outstanding operator in Abruzzo and in the adjacent Marche region, where it already provides electricity and gas services to over 240,000 customers, including its progressive integration with Hera Comm Marche.
The multi-utility thus continues to pursue its development of a model that brings together the local, physical kind of presence typical of smaller enterprises on the one hand, and on the other the potentialities for innovation in services and offers and the competitiveness that ensue from belonging to a Group that is among the main operators in Italy's energy market.
"With this operation, we have reinforced our presence in the Province of Chieti, fully respecting the process of developing our activities in the Abruzzo and Marche regions" explains Cristian Fabbri, CEO of Hera Comm. "Applying our business model, which unites local management of services for citizens and a global vision to guarantee greater opportunities and competitiveness, allows us to have an increasingly widespread and well-structured presence over the localities served. This system makes it possible for us to meet all of our customers' needs, from daily assistance to a growing request for tailor-made services, improving, day after day, their customer experience. Our new customers as well will soon be able to tangibly appreciate this improvement".
The multi-utility tops the ranking, marking its sixth consecutive year on the podium, the only Italian company to achieve this result. The recognition rewards the credibility and consistency with which the Group integrates ESG factors into its strategy, governance and corporate culture.
Hera Group ranked first in the 2026 ESG Identity Corporate Index, developed by ET.Group to measure the extent to which ESG factors are integrated into companies’ strategies and decision-making processes. The results of the eleventh edition were presented today in Milan at the ESG Business Conference.
The Group’s growth, together with the progressive evolution and increasing maturity of its ESG model, has gone hand in hand with continuous advances in governance, enabling the multi-utility to rank among the Top 10 for 9 consecutive years and on the podium for six years in a row.
A more selective assessment focused on ESG credibilityThe recognition is even more significant as it is the outcome of a rigorous assessment process carried out against a benchmark that continues to rise. The 2026 edition included a record 109 companies, all demonstrating increasingly advanced levels of ESG maturity.
The assessment itself has also become more demanding, shifting the focus from disclosure alone to companies’ ability to demonstrate the effective integration of ESG factors into strategy, decision-making processes and corporate culture. The analysis centres on the development of a robust and coherent ESG strategy geared towards value creation, transparent reporting of results, and the ability to anticipate and manage risks.
For Hera Group, particular emphasis was placed on:
- governance as an enabler, supported by the active involvement of dedicated governance bodies;
- the integration of ESG targets into remuneration policies and long-term strategies;
- the ability to foster a cross-functional ESG culture involving all business functions and the entire value chain.
Hera Group builds its ESG narrative on its strategy, its commitments and its ability to translate them into tangible results. Over more than twenty years, the multi-utility has combined sustained economic growth with the evolution of its governance towards increasingly demanding targets, clear accountability and measurable performance. The credibility of the Group’s commitments rests on a consistent track record of delivery, as demonstrated by significant investments, completed projects and reported impacts. The same rigour underpins investment in people development through skills, inclusion and professional growth, as well as incentive systems that embed sustainability targets.
For Hera Group, ESG is therefore the practical framework through which the company governs, grows and creates value over time.
