Building

a sustainable future
Letter to the Stakeholders
2021, which has just ended, was a crucial year for the successful overcoming of the most acute phases of the health emergency and the gradual economic and social recovery of the country and the rest of the world.
If it were possible, just for a moment, to divert our thoughts from what is happening in Europe today, a conflict that marks a deep furrow of discontinuity with respect to the previous world political and economic balances, generating numerous unknowns about the future, we could, on the contrary, highlight the clear and coherent path of the European Union that is strongly characterised by the issues of sustainable and inclusive growth. This was also the case for the Acea Group in 2021.

Relations with the Environment
Dealing with vital resources such as water and energy requires the management of complex infrastructures - networks and plants - in the territories and has important impacts on the community. We are committed to ensuring that these impacts become growth opportunities for us and our stakeholders.
