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.

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.

For the tenth consecutive year, the multi-utility is ranked among the 100 most inclusive companies worldwide and reaches 10th place overall—first among Italian companies—in FTSE Russell’s (formerly Refinitiv) international index, which assesses more than 16,500 listed companies.

The results of the incentive mechanism for the integrated water service for the two-year period 2022-2023, recently published by ARERA, show Hera among the top positions in the Italian ranking for both asset and service quality.
