Aliplast, Hera’s growth engine in the Waste business
Hera’s strategy in the plastic recycling is crystal clear: strengthen its leadership through the expansion in new market segments, with the aim to transform rigid plastics in addition to the flexible ones that Aliplast currently treats and, at the same time, approach new business niches, as in the case of carbon fibres. Aliplast Group – with an EBITDA doubling in 2021 vs. 2020 and reaching 36.5 million euro – will be a key driver of the 122-million-euro growth at EBITDA level that the Group targets in the Waste area by 2025.

Message from the executive chairman of the board
Healthy annual results once again confirm our long track record
In 2021, Hera achieved a 9% increase at EBITDA level, which exceeded expectations despite an external scenario still affected by COVID-19. A result that is also valuable from a qualitative point of view, given the wide range of organic factors that have fuelled the growth. Thus, Hera has once again proven how crucial it is to have a multi-business portfolio to leverage, when one is an operator able to guess new trends in demand and promptly satisfy them.

Focus on 2021-2025 Plan’s targets
With its sustainable approach to business, the multiutility nature and many circularity projects matching the Recovery Fund, Hera is well positioned to leverage the increasing sustainability demand coming from the policy makers and from the market itself. Leveraging 98% of investments that are taxonomy-compliant, and for about two-thirds consistent with Shared Value criteria, Hera expects to give a strong “Green” boost to EBITDA growth.

The high visibility of earnings growth paves the way for the increase in dividends indicated in the new Plan
In the new Business Plan to 2025 Hera expresses its commitment to make a concrete contribution to the path towards greater environmental sustainability, through a significant capital expenditure and investment plan of 3.8 billion euro in total.
