Every day we strive to create shared value in the territories and communities where we operate, combining our industrial objectives with the socio-economic development of the areas in which we carry out our activities.
We work with respect for the ecosystem, people and communities and are responsible for the way we manage water resources, for the safety and impact of our plants and for the wellbeing of the people who work with us.
We achieved carbon neutrality in 2020 by offsetting our emissions from operations; now we want to achieve NET ZERO by reducing and offsetting greenhouse gas emissions and promoting low-emission power generation.
We believe in constant dialogue with our stakeholders. By listening to each other and exchanging knowledge and experience, we established 16 material topics on which Alperia has built its Sustainability Plan.
