PRESS RELEASE
Italtel presents the 2023 sustainability report
- Launched a Sustainability Project and strengthened Governance with the establishment of the ESG Committee.
- Reduced energy consumption compared to 2022 by about 22% and CO2 emissions by more than 46%; almost eliminated plastic consumption.
- Reduced the gender pay gap through a number of initiatives, including a commitment to a zero gender pay gap for new hires.
“We are convinced that companies have a duty to decrease their ecological footprint and promote sustainability at the economic, social and governance levels, said Benedetto Di Salvo, CEO Italtel. We base our actions on core values that are the promotion of equality and inclusion, protection of people’s health, respect for the environment, honesty in business and harmony between professional and personal life. We believe that our stakeholders have understood and appreciate the path to sustainability we have taken so far and will continue to take.”The report also shows that plastic consumption is almost zero, with a 92.1% reduction in consumption compared to 2022 and 99.7% over the previous five-year period. Italtel has initiated some initiatives on DE&I, including the certification process on gender equality according to the UNI/PdR 125 guideline. At the end of the year, there were some positive results, such as the reduction in the gender pay gap for both managers and other staff and the hiring of new younger employees with total gender pay parity, as well as the increase in the percentage of women in managerial positions out of total managerial positions. On the certification side, in 2023 Italtel acquired a major improvement in its CDP (Carbon Disclosure Project – a leading global nonprofit organization) rating on the Climate Change questionnaire by moving from level C (“Awarness” level) to level B (“Management” level). Italtel again underwent the Ecovadis assessment and achieved a score of 58 points out of 100, far exceeding the averages of companies in our own category in all subject areas. For the seventh consecutive year, it maintained with the highest score (three “stars”) the Legality Rating, awarded to it by the Italian Competition Authority (AGCM) for the first time in 2015.
