Development, resource regeneration, carbon neutrality, resilience, and the creation of shared value for all stakeholders are reconfirmed as the strategic axes underpinning the new Plan, which allocates more than 5.5 billion euros in investments over the five-year period, leveraging innovation and digitalisation. The positive preliminary results for 2025 and the new targets of the Plan allow for an upward revision of the dividend policy

With this integration, the multiutility further strengthens its positioning also in the industrial and civil water treatment sector, activating strong commercial synergies with its subsidiary Herambiente and focusing on research and development, innovation, and technical know-how as distinctive levers for medium- to long-term growth. The transaction, with a total value of €138 million, is expected, once fully operational, to contribute over €20 million to the consolidated EBITDA growth of the Hera Group.

sede Hera 110x150.jpg centrata With reference to certain rumors published today in Il Sole 24 Ore, the Hera Group specifies that negotiations are ongoing for the acquisition of a significant company perimeter of Sostelia Group, the main private Italian player in industrial and civil water technologies and treatment, controlled by Xenon Fidec. Hera will promptly inform the market, in accordance with the law and regulations, regarding any possible signing of a binding agreement. 2026-01-14 07:36:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg

The multi-utility is among the six organizations worldwide selected in the 16th edition of the award established by the European Institute of Purchasing Management, recognized as a benchmark in the “Virtuous Ecosystem Leader” category.

A new ten-year agreement has been signed between subsidiaries Herambiente and Caviro Extra for joint management of composting, cogeneration and photovoltaic plants: every year, over 230,000 tonnes of biomass are transformed into energy and natural fertilisers. Further investments have been planned to reduce emissions and increase the value of the products. This shared Emilia-Romagna industrial model is thus confirmed as an exemplary case of symbiosis between the waste management and wine-growing sectors.

(drafted pursuant to article 85-bis, paragraph 4-bis, of Consob Regulation 11971 / 14 May 1999)

The Group has launched a new programme intended to scale up development in its own innovations and bring them to the market, one of the first of its kind in the Italian energy sector. NexSuite, an asset portfolio for gas distribution network security, is now presented in Bilbao at the Enlit international trade fair

The first nine months of the year closed with strong growth in revenue and investments, and with all key operating and financial indicators positive, in line with the first two quarters and the targets set out in the Business Plan. The 4.2% increase in net profit attributable to shareholders confirms not only the Group’s solidity and the effectiveness of its multi-business industrial strategy, but above all its ability to combine internal business growth with a positive return on invested capital.

The consolidated half-year report at 30 June shows increased net profit and capital expenditures, in line with corporate strategies and the targets contained in the Business plan. In a phase of market normalisation, the Group’s operating and financial solidity is confirmed.

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 sede Hera 110x150.jpg 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.” Download Press Release 20250722 - Hera Group acquires Ambiente Energia.pdf 2025-07-22 11:25:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg

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. sede Hera 110x150.jpg 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.   Download the press release 20250702 Herambiente acquires 100% of Aliplast.pdf 2025-07-02 10:38:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg

sede Hera 110x150.jpg 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.

For the fifth consecutive year, the Group has been included among the top positions in the overall ranking of the index that rewards Italian companies that stand out for integrating ESG factors into their governance. On the tenth anniversary of the ESG Identity Corporate Index, Hera also received recognition for performance and continuity as Strongest Performer, Best Finance Identity and Best Transition Identity among Large Cap companies. sede Hera 110x150.jpg centrata At the ESG Business Conference 2025, the Hera Group ranked second among Italian companies for its integration of sustainability policies into its business strategies and corporate governance. This year as well, and for the fifth consecutive time, Hera is among the leaders of the ESG Identity Corporate Index (formerly the Integrated Governance Index) managed by ETicaNews. Hera thus celebrates ten years in the Top 10 of the Index, launched in 2016. And precisely one decade after the ESG Identity Corporate Index project was created, the Group was also awarded three multi-year performance and continuity awards, aimed at companies that participated in all of the last six editions (2020-2025) of ESG.ICI. More specifically, in the Large Cap category, Hera won the awards: Strongest Performer, Best Finance Identity and Best Transition Identity. Sustainable growth and communication with local areas at the centre of strategies The integration of ESG targets into business strategies and strong local roots are distinctive features of the Hera Group. Today, more than 7.5 million citizens have at least one service provided by the Group in the waste management, energy and water sectors, contributing to the Group doubling its operational size over the last decade. Its business model bases growth and value creation on sustainability, promoting innovation and an inclusive dialogue with all stakeholders. This ongoing dialogue enables Hera to face the challenges raised by the ecological transition, energy security and climate change. The close interconnection between corporate strategy and a focus on sustainable development is also demonstrated by the timely sustainability reporting with ESG targets implemented since its inception by the multi-utility, on a voluntary basis, which goes beyond the mandatory reporting required by the CSRD. 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. The ESG Identity Corporate Index The ESG.ICI is Italy’s only quantitative index that measures the integration of ESG principles into corporate strategies, assessing companies’ commitment to sustainability, social responsibility, the environment and governance. It is unique for its scientific and quantitative approach and aims at measuring the degree of integration of ESG factors in corporate processes, outlining trends, identifying best cases and stimulating debate. The 2025 survey involved 98 companies, 72 of which were listed. The Hera Group’s main awards Listed on the FTSE MIB since 2003 and included in the FTSE MIB since 2019, the Hera stock has been part of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index Europe & World since 2020 and has ranked first worldwide in the Multiutility & Water sector since 2020, as well as being included since 2021 in the first blue-chip index for Italy dedicated to ESG best practices, launched that year by Euronext and Borsa Italiana. The Hera Group has also been included for nine consecutive years in the FTSE Diversity & Inclusion Index “Top 100”, the international index devised by FTSE Russell, for its commitment to promoting diversity, inclusion and people development.   Download the press release Hera Group ranks 2nd in the ESG Identity Corporate Index 2025.pdf 2025-06-18 14:09:00 sede Hera 110x150.jpg
