Among the top positions in the international ranking of Utility Networks assessed by S&P Global for our focus on sustainability and our ability to create shared value by contributing to the energy transition
We once again rank among the companies that pay the most attention to sustainability and ESG aspects internationally. Our latest ESG Evaluation, carried out by the Sustainable Finance analysts of S&P Global Ratings, has indeed also been published. This is a cross-industry assessment of our ability to effectively manage, in the medium and long term, our exposure to environmental, social and governance risks, as well as to grasp opportunities arising from the changes required by a constantly evolving international context.
This year, we obtained an overall score of 81/100, making it one of the best companies internationally as assessed by S&P Global Ratings. This comes as further important recognition for the attention that we dedicate to ESG aspects in pursuing a strategy of sustainable, long-term growth, which has characterised us since Hera was established in 2002, and which complements and goes hand in hand with our financial solidity.
In particular, in the ESG Evaluation just published, we are assessed by S&P Global Ratings as being strongly prepared to implement our strategy of creating shared value, contributing to the transition towards a circular and low-emission economy. We have, in fact, shown ourselves ready to face the potential risks arising from the energy crisis, thanks to our ability to balance the need for transition with the security and availability of energy sources.
