Sustainability Governance
Improving performance
With a view to continuously improving on Sustainability issues, Trenitalia has decided to continue along the path it started out at the end of 2021, requesting a new assessment by EcoVadis - an internationally recognised rating system for evaluating ESG performance - on themes that have always been central to our company, namely respect for the environment, human rights and labour, ethics and sustainable procurement.
Trenitalia achieved an overall score of 72 points out of 100 (+13 points compared to the first assessment) making a significant improvement that allowed it to transition from “Silver Medal” to “Gold Medal”, a recognition for businesses that are in the Top 5% of companies from all industrial sectors globally assessed by Ecovadis (in the previous assessment Trenitalia had been in the Top 25% of companies). Within the “rail transport” sector, Trenitalia ranked in the top 1% of companies worldwide.
Trenitalia’s Sustainability Manifesto
Being aware of the central role played by the mobility sector for responsible growth, Trenitalia intends to take an active part in helping to improve quality of life and the areas it passes through.
To do this, it is committed to developing a corporate culture oriented towards respecting the principles of sustainable development that affects all levels of the organisation and the management of processes in a responsible manner, in line with the UN 2030 Agenda.
In this spirit, on June 5, 2024 on the occasion of World Environment Day, Trenitalia drafted the Sustainability Manifesto. This commitment to the country and the planet focuses on the awareness of all its people and can be summarised in ten key words that accompany change: attention, courage, closeness, integration, balance, connection, measure, care, regeneration, indiscriminate.
Trenitalia's first Sustainability Document: from the legacy of the past to the challenges of the future
Inspired by the principles of the Sustainability Manifesto, Trenitalia drafted its first Sustainability Document, a fundamental step towards transparency and sharing its commitment to sustainable development. This first edition recounts the results obtained in the past year, which are the outcome of a well-rooted path that embraces environmental and social responsibility in all its nuances.
The Document provides an in-depth exploration of the multiple areas in which Trenitalia operates to integrate ESG principles along the entire value chain. This starts with solid and transparent governance, passes through attention to its stakeholders and continues on to the strategic approach to operational security and technological innovation.
Great significance is given to people, the true protagonists of sustainable mobility: from employees to customers and suppliers, which are selected according to sustainability criteria.
The document aims to make Trenitalia known not only as a transport company, but above all as a key player that promotes integrated and sustainable mobility, one capable of combining innovation, efficiency and responsibility towards the environment and society.
First in Europe to be certified for the environment, quality, health and safety
Trenitalia is the first major European railway company to have obtained the certification, according to internationally recognised standards, for managing the Environment, Quality and Workplace Health and Safety of its entire business.
The Integrated Management System developed allows Trenitalia to monitor, evaluate and improve its environmental performance in all production facilities throughout the country.
