Hera Group BoD approves 3Q 2023 results

The first nine months of the year ended with strong growth in all economic and financial indicators, confirming the Group’s solidity and the effectiveness of its multi-business strategy. Respecting the goals set out in the business plan, the Group once again combined corporate growth and the creation of value for all stakeholders, as is proven by net investments and corporate acquisitions, up by more than 18% overall.

Financial highlights

  • Ebitda* at 1,006.8 million euro (+15.1%)
  • Net profit attributable to shareholders* at 235.5 million euro (+10.0%)
  • Net investments and corporate acquisitions at 593 million euro (+18.7%)
  • Net financial debt and net debt/Ebitda* ratio show considerable improvement, coming to 4,148.9 million euro and 2.91x respectively
  • ROI also improves, rising to 9%

Operating highlights

  • Significant contribution to growth coming from the energy sectors and the waste management area
  • Ongoing growth in the energy customer base, now at 3.8 million, up 8.9% over 12 months
  • Further initiatives for the green transition and increased investments in innovation, reinforcing the resilience of the assets managed

Today, the Board of Directors of the Hera Group, chaired by Cristian Fabbri, unanimously approved the consolidated results at 30 September 2023.

The first nine months of the year saw rising investments and record results compared to previous years, showing remarkable resilience when faced with extreme weather events in the area served and a global context that remains uncertain and continues to show widespread increases in inflation and in the cost of money.
In particular, the significant investments reflect the Group’s commitment to boosting the resilience of the assets managed and its ongoing focus on projects designed to accelerate the green transition, fully respecting its corporate purpose. The good operating and financial performances once again confirm the decisions made by management, based on a low-risk policy and a solid multi-business industrial strategy, balanced between internal growth and external development, and between regulated and free-market activities. Double-digit growth was achieved, along with a 9% return on invested capital.
Continuing along its path of uninterrupted growth, with the aim of providing its customers with innovative, competitive and increasingly complete solutions, the Group continued to expand the business areas in which it operates. In the waste management sector, Hera opened a second biomethane production plant in the Modena area and signed a partnership with ACR di Reggiani Albertino, a large company operating nationwide in the remediation, industrial waste treatment, industrial plant decommissioning and oil&gas civil engineering sectors. In IT-TLC, acting with Ascopiave the Group acquired 92% of Asco TLC, later merged by incorporation into the subsidiary Acantho. Finally, in the energy sector, it acquired the Ferrara-based company Tiepolo to construct a photovoltaic solar park in Bondeno, as well as 60% of the Rimini-based company F.lli Franchini, which installs thermal-hydraulic, electrical and photovoltaic systems for business clients. Lastly, Horowatt was established, the NewCo between the Hera Group and Orogel, to construct within 2024 a sustainable, state-of-the-art agrivoltaic plant at this agricultural cooperative’s Cesena facility.

Cristian Fabbri, Executive Chairman of the Hera Group:
“This period’s results show a relevant creation of value for all stakeholders. In the first nine months we reached over 1 billion of Ebitda, which shows a double-digit growth of 15%. We furthermore increased capex and investments by 19% and achieved a 9% return on invested capital, while continuing to reduce financial debt. All of our businesses contributed to this growth, more than 80% underpinned by Energy supply business due to a 9% increase in customer base, which reached 3.8 million, and further expansion of decarbonisation services. Another significant factor was the contribution coming from last resort markets, which we consolidated in September by winning 17 of the 18 available gas lots. Internal growth and the 5 corporate transactions carried out during these nine months were driven by innovation, resilience, decarbonisation and the circular economy. All of this contributed to an increase in shared-value Ebitda, now over 54% of total Ebitda, which continues to generate incremental benefits for all areas served. We are rapidly following the path for development set out in the business plan, by keeping our business portfolio balanced and seizing opportunities for creating value that allow us to accelerate its implementation.”

Orazio Iacono, CEO of the Hera Group:
“The effectiveness of our management decisions and our solid multi-business industrial strategy enabled us to achieve positive economic and financial results and, in particular, to further strengthen our leadership in the waste management sector, posting a raising Ebitda and on the back of larger volumes of waste treatments. In a partnership with ACR, which recently joined the Group, we won important concessions in the private oil&gas sector and are participating in tenders to access PNRR funds to reclaim public sites. Thanks to our positive cashflow and strong financial position, we achieved a net debt/Ebitda ratio coming to 2.91x, similar to the one seen before the sharp rise in energy prices. This financial soundness gives us all the flexibility we need to take advantage of new opportunities for development in our target markets. Finally, we are particularly proud of the recognition we received from Arera for the technical quality of our services, particularly in the water business, where we achieved the best performance nationwide.”

Revenues at approximately 11 billion
At 30 September 2023, revenues amounted to 10,955.0 million euro, slightly down from 14,320.1 million euro at the same date in 2022, mainly due to the decrease of energy commodity prices and lower volumes of gas sold on account of the mild weather in the first half of the year. An increase was seen, instead, in revenues thanks to the higher volumes of electricity sold, commercial development actions, Consip tenders, the safeguarded tenders awarded in electricity, “gradual protection service” lots awarded, higher revenues from “energy efficiency services” linked to incentives in residential buildings and increased activities in value-added services for customers, as well as revenues from the waste treatment business and, above all, to the M&A activity.

Ebitda* up sharply to 1,006.8 million
Ebitda* for the first nine months of 2023 rose to 1,006.8 million euro (+15.1%), as against 874.8 million euro at 30 September 2022. Of this increase, the contribution coming from the energy areas amounted to 111.8 million euro and the good performance of the waste management area accounted for 11.8 million euro, while 3.5 million euro came from the integrated water cycle and 4.8 million euro from the other services area.

Net operating result* rises to 504.6 million euro
The net operating result* for the nine months ended 30 September 2023 rose to 504.6 million euro, up 15.5% from 437.0 million euro in the first nine months of 2022, at same growth path signed by Ebitda.

Net profit post minorities* up by 10%
In September 2023, net profit* rose to 267.1 million euro (+7.5%), up from 248.4 million euro in the same period of 2022, and the tax rate improved to 26.8%. Net profit post minorities* rose to 235.5 million euro, up 10% from 214.1 million euro at 30 September 2022.

Strong increase in capital expenditure and M&A
In the first nine months of 2023, the Hera Group made net investments including M&A coming to 593.0 million euro (+18.7% compared to the same period in 2022). Operating investments, including capital grants, amounted to 514.0 million euro, up 50.7 million euro year-on-year (+10.9%), and mainly for the development of plants, networks and infrastructures including the large-scale meter replacement in gas distribution and on the purification and sewerage infrastructures.
Return on invested capital also improved, with ROI rising from 7.7% to 9%, confirming the Group’s ability to create value.
The total amount of net financial debt came to 4,148.9 million euro, down 100.9 million euro compared to the amount seen at 31 December 2022, even after the payment of dividends, due to the cashflow coming from operations, the benefit in net working capital caused by the reduction in the value of gas storage compared to the record values seen in 2022, and the different energy price scenario. The Group’s financial solidity is also proven by the improvement in the net debt/Ebitda* ratio, which now stands at 2.91x, once again below the 3x reference level and in line with Hera’s traditionally prudential policy.

Reduced debt and increased returns
The total value of the Group’s net financial debt amounted to 4,148.9 million euro, down 100.9 million euro compared to the figure seen at 31 December 2022, fully covering the payment of dividends in June, the significant increase in investments compared to 2022 and the corporate acquisitions completed in 2023. This reduction is mainly due to the significant cashflow from operations in the first nine months of 2023 and the benefits on net working capital ensuing from the reduced value of gas storage and changes in the energy price scenario compared to the previous year. As a result, the net debt/Ebitda* ratio decreased to 2.91x, returning well below the 3x reference level, in line with Hera’s traditionally prudential policy.
Financial operations, while showing an increase compared to 2022 due to the impact of financial lines that are currently no longer active and the Group’s greater need for financial flexibility within an energy price scenario that has not yet fully stabilised, benefitted from a 96.5% fixed-rate medium/long-term debt structure. Thanks to the liability management operations carried out in the first half of 2023, the financial structure was optimised in terms of cost and absolutely capable of insuring the Group against potential risks related to volatility in energy commodity markets, while guaranteeing at the same time continuity in operations and the significant investment activity planned. The use of variable-rate loans, linked to revolving bank lines, is activated exclusively for short-term needs and to manage volatility, is a particularly positive element within a context of rising interest rates compared to the previous year.
Return on invested capital and on equity also improved, with ROI rising from 7.7% at 30 September 2022 to 9% and ROE increasing from 9% to 10.6%.

Gas
Ebitda for the gas area, which includes natural gas distribution and sales, district heating and energy services, amounted to 334.1 million euro at 30 September 2023 compared to 377.0 million euro in the same period of 2022, mainly due to a drop in volumes owing to the particularly mild weather in the first part of the year and the focus on energy saving shown by both residents and businesses. This drop was partially offset by increased volumes on last resort markets, the contribution coming from energy services and incentives for energy efficiency activities.
In the month of September, the Group was awarded, through subsidiary Hera Comm and for the next two years, 17 of the 18 lots available in last resort gas markets, including 8 out of 9 areas for the last resort service and all 9 lots of the default service, which will take effect as of the fourth quarter of 2023.
In the first nine months of 2023, investments in the gas area amounted to 138.1 million euro, up 33.5 million euro compared to the previous year. In particular, the largest investments were made in gas distribution, after the beginning of management of the Udine2 ATEM, following the tender, and in gas sales, involving the acquisition of new customers. Overall investments in district heating and energy services also rose.
The number of gas customers reached almost 2.1 million, up (+2%) compared to the previous year, thanks to growth in both traditional and last resort markets.
The gas area accounted for 33.2% of Group Ebitda.

Electricity

Ebitda for the electricity area, which covers electricity generation, distribution and sales, rose to 176.8 million euro, compared to 22.1 million euro in the same period of 2022, a year marked by fluctuating commodity prices. Significant growth was thus seen, in terms of both margins and volumes sold to end customers, especially thanks to commercial development in the free market, innovative offers and value-added services, and the higher margins on the safeguarded service and on 4 lots of the gradual protection services. Furthermore, 4 lots were recently confirmed in the Consip EE21 tender, for supplying electricity to PAs for 12 months beginning in 2024.
Margins from services aimed at promoting the decarbonisation of customer consumption, for example by installing photovoltaic systems and promoting electric mobility solutions, also continued to grow. This context includes the recent acquisition of 60% of the company F.lli Franchini, to further increase decarbonisation services in the industrial customer segment, and the beginning of a partnership with the Orogel group to construct an innovative agrivoltaic system serving the Cesena production plant.
At 30 September 2023, investments made in the electricity area amounted to 81.3 million euro, up by 28.3 million euro compared to the previous year. In distribution, investments mainly involved non-recurring maintenance and upgrading of plants and networks in the Modena, Imola, Trieste and Gorizia areas, as well as the ongoing large-scale meter replacement and work to improve the resilience of the infrastructure. In the sales area, investments in commercial activities related to the acquisition of new customers increased.
The customer base, in fact, saw significant growth compared to the same period in 2022, reaching almost 1.7 million (+18.9%).
The electricity area accounted for 17.6% of Group Ebitda.

Water

Ebitda for the integrated water cycle area, which includes aqueduct, purification and sewerage services, amounted to 209.3 million euro at 30 September 2023, up slightly (+1.7%) compared to 205.8 million euro in the first nine months of 2022.
Gross investments made in the integrated water cycle area amounted to 142.0 million euro (89.0 million in waterworks, 34.6 million in sewerage and 18.4 million in purification). These funds went to extensions, reclamation and upgrading on networks and plants, as well as for regulatory adjustments mainly in the purification and sewerage areas. The main investments include, in the aqueduct, the ongoing reclamation on networks and connections, as well as specific renewal and upgrading works intended to counter the risk of water shortages linked to increasingly frequent droughts.
Finally, Arera confirmed that the technical quality standards in the integrated water cycle managed by the Hera Group are among the highest nationwide, which led to the recognition of significant bonuses, in line with the Group’s track record.
The integrated water cycle area accounted for 20.8% of Group Ebitda.

Waste

At 30 September 2023, Ebitda for the waste management area rose to 258.0 million euro (+4.8%), up from 246.2 million euro in the same period of 2022. Ebitda for waste treatment services amounted to 212.5 million (up 15.2 million), while Ebitda from collection and street-sweeping services, due to the impact of the newly awarded concessions in Modena and Bologna, came to 45.5 million (down by 3.4 million).
These figures include a 15% increase in waste commercialised, due to increases in both municipal and market waste, the excellent performance of energy management, due to the higher contribution coming from the Modena and Trieste waste-to-energy plants, the changed scope of operations due to recent acquisitions, and the positive performance seen in commercial activities, which as a whole offset the increase in costs due to inflation.
Throughout 2023, continuity was seen for the main initiatives set out in the business plan in terms of circular economy, from material recovery to renewable energy production. One example is the new plant for biomethane production located in Spilamberto, in the Modena area, born out of a partnership with Inalca, of the Cremonini Group. When fully operational, the capacity of the Spilamberto plant will lead to a 48% increase in the biomethane produced by Hera compared to 2022, and will contribute to achieving the Group's goal of increasing biomethane production to 30 million cubic metres per year.
Thanks to the Group’s solid management policies, within a scenario marked by a slight slowdown in inflation, a drop in industrial production and increased competitive pressure in the markets in which it is present, Hera has continued to consolidate its leadership in the waste management sector. This has occurred especially in the industrial and recovery markets, by equipping its plants with the best available technologies and guaranteeing a considerable amount of growth in this sector. With roughly one hundred state-of-the-art facilities capable of treating any type of waste, the Group’s set of plants continues to represent a strategic and distinctive asset in a country that still shows major infrastructural deficiencies in this sector.
Protecting environmental resources was confirmed as a priority objective for the Group in 2023, as was the maximisation of their reuse. This is proven by the special attention dedicated to increasing sorted waste collection, which rose to 71.4% at 30 September 2023, up 4.6% compared to the first nine months of 2022, thanks to the introduction of numerous projects in the areas served by the Group.
Investments made in the waste management area amounted to 83.4 million euro, and mainly involved maintenance and upgrading on waste treatment plants, optimising collection centres and equipment, as well as investments for the transaction with ACR.
The waste management area accounted for 25.6% of Group Ebitda.

Hera Group acquires Ambiente Energia and achieves further growth in the Special waste

2025-07-22 After the binding agreement reached in February, the acquisition of Ambiente Energia, based in Schio in Vicenza, from the Marzotto Group, through subsidiary Herambiente Servizi Industriali, has been completed. This transaction further expands the offer of waste recovery and treatment services to companies in one of the most dynamic areas of the country centrata Acquisition signed after last February’s binding agreement This morning in Bologna, Herambiente Servizi Industriali, a subsidiary of Herambiente, finalised the acquisition, from Manifattura Lane Gaetano Marzotto & Figli of 100% of the capital of Ambiente Energia, a company operating in liquid industrial waste treatment at its plant in Schio, near Vicenza. This closing concludes the process that began on 27 February, when a binding agreement was signed by the two companies. Transaction in line with the 2028 Business Plan The Hera Group thus continues its growth in the North-East, in waste treatment and recovery in particular, fully consistent with its 2028 Business Plan, which sees vertical integrations as an important lever for further expansion and diversification of its plant base, with positive impacts on profitability and market share. More specifically, Ambiente Energia will extend Herambiente Servizi Industriali global waste management offer in one of the most productive and dynamic areas of the country, where the Hera Group is already established with its subsidiaries Vallortigara Servizi Ambientali with two plants in Vicenza province, Aliplast in the Treviso area and Recycla with two plants in Treviso and Pordenone. A multi-purpose plant with an annual capacity of over 120,000 tonnes Ambiente Energia plant, with an annual capacity of more than 120,000 tonnes, thanks to state-of-the-art technological equipment, treats numerous types of liquid and sludge waste, both hazardous and non-hazardous, such as, for example, water from painting and washing, acids and bases, and water from chemical-physical treatments. Its services are thus completely designed for the industrial districts of the Veneto region, including the textile, tanning, engineering and eyewear industries. The purification plant, which returns water to surface waters after treatment, has 41 storage tanks, a wastewater treatment line (both chemical-physical and biological) and a sludge treatment line. The industrial added value of the agreement This capacity will allow for greater flexibility and volume while constructing the waste management and recovery projects proposed by Herambiente Servizi Industriali to local companies. As for Ambiente Energia’s existing customers, they will gain access to the know-how of Herambiente and its subsidiaries in developing resource valorisation and circular economy projects, with a focus on the treatment of liquid and sludge waste. Full employment continuity for Ambiente Energia resources As was confirmed when the binding agreement was signed, the transaction foresees the retention of all of Ambiente Energia current employees, guaranteeing full employment continuity protecting the company’s technical-operational assets for the benefit of its customers. Ramonda: “positive spin-offs on cross-selling and synergies with neighbouring Vallortigara” “We are very pleased with this further growth we have achieved,” explains Herambiente CEO Andrea Ramonda. “This acquisition not only consolidates Herambiente’s already vast set of plants, but also further broadens the customer base in environmental services, with positive spin-offs on cross-selling opportunities, which will also benefit from synergies with the neighbouring Vallortigara Servizi Ambientali, already part of the Hera Group.” 20250722 - Hera Group acquires Ambiente Energia.pdf 11:25:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg Download Press Release sede Hera 110x150.jpg

Hera Group on CDP’s «Climate A list»

2025-07-14 The recognition awarded by this independent international organisation bears witness to Hera’s concrete commitment to transparency in environmental reporting and to combating climate change centrata The Hera Group has been included for the first time in the prestigious "Climate A List" released by CDP (formerly the Carbon Disclosure Project), one of the most authoritative independent international organisations for environmental measurement and reporting. Thanks to this important recognition, the Group has further confirmed its position among the world's most virtuous companies, in the Top 2%, in terms of decarbonisation and transparency in reporting on climate change. This result is also above the industry average (B) and the European and world average (both C). CDP recognised Hera’s excellent results in practically all assessment categories, with further improvement in many key areas compared to the previous year and confirming its outstanding status in the remaining ones, corroborating its solid, structured approach, aligned with international best practices in managing climate challenges. Being included in the A List reflects the Hera Group’s high level of commitment and climate ambition, first and foremost in its pursuit of carbon neutrality, which is included in the Hera Group’s purpose with an amendment of the company’s Articles of Association in 2021. This goal also takes shape thanks to Hera’s Climate Transition Plan, published in 2024, which includes Net Zero by 2050. In particular, the Plan defines paths and levers for reducing direct and indirect emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3), showing concrete actions for the reduction of climate-changing emissions, and provides governance mechanisms to integrate climate risks into corporate decision-making and financial processes. The CDP score For 25 years, CDP has overseen the world’s largest platform for environmental reporting, in which thousands of public and private companies participate every year. Over 24,800 companies responded to the 2024 edition of the questionnaire, including 95% of the FTSEurofirst 300, 85% of the S&P500 and 97% of the Nikkei, as well as over 1,000 cities, states and regions. CDP works on behalf of more than 640 investors and financial institutions, representing over 127 trillion dollars in assets, and asks companies to transparently share their data and strategies on climate change, water and deforestation. The scores assigned by CDP are now a globally recognised standard in assessing corporate environmental sustainability.

Herambiente S.p.A. acquires 100% of Aliplast S.p.A.

2025-07-02 The Hera Group company concludes its integration of this European leader in recycled plastic, which began in 2017, by purchasing the remaining 20% of the company from Rogroup S.r.l. centrata This morning, Herambiente S.p.A., a Hera Group company, acquired from minority shareholder Rogroup S.r.l. its entire stake in Aliplast S.p.A., equivalent to 20% of the share capital, thus coming to hold 100% of the company based in Ospedaletto d’Istrana, near Treviso, a European leader in plastic regeneration. This transaction concludes the process of integrating the company founded by Roberto Alibardi into the Hera Group, which began in January 2017 with the purchase of an initial 40% tranche followed by a second 40% in December of the same year. Today, therefore, the purchase of the remaining 20% was finalised, according to the economic conditions set out in the initial agreement. Since its entry into the Hera Group eight years ago, Aliplast has achieved significant growth, especially in the higher end of the recycled plastic market (for example, in the food and health & beauty sectors), bringing it to a turnover of 150 million euro in 2024, with a total production of recycled products coming to 100 thousand tonnes, including PET and LDPE flakes and granules, PET sheets, LDPE films, PP flakes and HDPE. As regards HDPE (high-density polyethylene), an innovative recovery plant in Modena will be operational by the end of the year, which will further increase the quantity of recycled products. Ongoing investments also include the expansion of the Borgolavezzaro plant near Novara, where the production of LDPE flakes and granules will be enhanced. This transaction will have no impact on the Group’s financial position.   20250702 Herambiente acquires 100% of Aliplast.pdf 10:38:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg Download the press release sede Hera 110x150.jpg

Hera Group approves Code of Conduct for suppliers

2025-06-25 centrata Today, Hera’s Board of Directors approved the document also known as the Sustainability Agreement, in an initiative that ranks the Group among the first Italian companies to adopt this innovative tool. The Code reinforces Hera’s commitment to promote a more responsible supply chain, aligning it with the company’s sustainability principles and ethics Today, the Board of Directors of the Hera Group, one of Italy’s leading multi-utility companies in the waste management, energy and water sectors, approved its new Code of Conduct for suppliers. This is an innovative “supplier sustainability agreement” that reinforces the Group’s commitment to promoting a supply chain that is increasingly responsible and in line with ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) principles. This Code was conceived through a participatory process, which actively involved a representative group of suppliers with whom principles and rules on sustainability and business ethics were shared and a true sustainability deal was co-designed, to stimulate the sustainable growth of the entire value chain. With the Code of Conduct, the Hera Group renews its commitment to recognising and valuing companies that adopt high ethical, social and environmental standards, including through the introduction of bonuses in tenders or in the supplier qualification process. This Code is closely linked to the Hera Group’s Code of Ethics, reflecting its fundamental values of responsibility, integrity, transparency and consistency. Its introduction is thus a further step along the path towards a business model that considers sustainability a driver of growth and competitiveness. “We are among the first in our sector to implement such a structured and participatory approach to supply chain sustainability. Our new Code of Conduct for suppliers,” comments Marco Del Giaccio, Director of Purchasing and Procurement of the Hera Group, “is not simply a formal document, but a true mutual commitment. It reinforces our role as a “responsible supply chain leader”, supporting suppliers along their path of growth and innovation. We firmly believe that the quality and sustainability of our services also depend on our supplier network. Therefore, investing in sharing sustainability-oriented goals and best practices is strategic and helps us understand our expectations and become more competitive. This is a path of shared growth that allows the Hera Group to achieve excellence along with its suppliers. After all, the Code we have developed is not a simple set of rules, but a real tool for sharing our values with all suppliers”. Collaboration with suppliers: a strategic element for creating value The Hera Group has always focused on communication and collaboration with its stakeholders, first and foremost suppliers, as key elements for generating value. Hera, indeed, plays a strategic role in promoting sustainable development, enhancing its supply chain as an essential lever for sustaining the economy. The Hera Group adopts a rigorous approach in selecting its suppliers, which goes far beyond mere economic considerations: it deeply assesses their sustainability profile, actively favouring those who comply with the most stringent environmental and social standards. The company’s commitment, therefore, does not end with the selection, but extends to proactively supporting suppliers to constantly improve their sustainability performance, building a more responsible future together. Code of Conduct for suppliers: a further element of empowerment for creating shared value in line with the Hera Group’s purpose The Code of Conduct for suppliers is part of the Group’s broader path towards creating shared value and implementing a business model guided by its Code of Ethics, which was updated in 2023 on the basis of the company’s purpose. Hera also stands out for its collaborative and non-imposing approach to its suppliers, focusing on empowerment and joint growth. More specifically, within the Code of Conduct the ethical vision and outlook commitments, shared by the Hera Group and its suppliers, are broken down into three sections modelled on ESG (Environment - Social - Governance) factors, proposing in each section a path of growth that begins with a set of minimum mandatory commitments and goes on to suggest the adoption of a series of recommended best practices. On the one hand, the “Obligations and stipulated requisites” represent a set of mandatory requirements. These go beyond legal provisions, including specific binding rules and minimum performances required by Hera, and provide the ethical and operational foundation on which every business relationship with the company is based. On the other hand, the “Good practices and recommended requisites” indicate an outlook of virtuous actions that, while not mandatory, are strongly encouraged. Hera is actively committed to enhancing these initiatives taken by suppliers, recognising their fundamental contribution to achieving the Group’s sustainability objectives. The Hera_Pro_Empower programme and the “Supplier Sustainability School” Since 2024, the Hera Group has been engaged in a capacity-building programme called “Hera_Pro_Empower”, born from the awareness that most suppliers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises, need support to meet sustainability challenges. As part of the programme, Hera offers an ecosystem of services at subsidised rates, such as: paths for obtaining management system certifications; services for personnel recruitment and selection; services for energy efficiency; and services for industrial waste recovery. The Hera Group has also activated its Supplier Sustainability School, a free academy open to all Group suppliers that provides training courses aimed at raising awareness and skills on ESG issues. So far, the school has been extremely well attended, involving over 800 participants and 500 suppliers through four main training programmes. These programmes have covered crucial aspects such as worksite safety, with targeted seminars for supplier managers on the high standards required by Hera, and an introduction to the Group’s sustainability principles and expectations. Also offered were in-depth studies on significant energy issues, partially in view of the new regulations on sustainability reporting (CSRD), and a specific path to guide suppliers in understanding and applying the new Code of Conduct.

Furthermore, the Climate Transition Plan approved in July 2024, outlines the Group's strategy and commitment to achieving Net Zero by 2050, addressing both direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions, with an overall reduction of approximately 90% by 2050 (compared to 2019) and the removal of all residual emissions by the end of the decarbonization process.
