Our Sustainability

Sustainability is part of Sogin's mission and, over time, has become increasingly important in the governance and management of its core business. For Sogin, being sustainable means integrating sustainability principles into business processes to improve the organisation - based on the principles of equity and diversity - and, at the same time, to increase the trust of stakeholders, both internal and external, by responding in a timely manner to their expectations.

In 2023, the Sogin Group adopted its first Sustainability Plan, a milestone on the path undertaken and reported on since 2005, reinforcing its contribution to achieving the sustainable development goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda.

This document, which is the result of extensive involvement of the Group's people, bears witness to a growing commitment to planning activities that integrate sustainability and innovation, with a view to contributing to the sustainable transition of the national economy and the Group's position on ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) issues.

In particular, the Plan, based on six sustainability commitments that define its directions and priorities, foresees a positive impact on:

1. core business, based on the measurement and improvement of decommissioning and waste management projects, in terms of sustainability;
2. reputation, with the representation of Sogin as an entity that contributes to the sustainable development of the national economy;
3. transparency towards stakeholders, by developing activities to involve stakeholders, especially in the communities and territories where Sogin operates, with particular reference to the National Repository;
4. internal and organisational coherence, by enhancing the contributions of all Group's functions and systematising the actions that are already inherent in the company's operations and mission;
5. development of the national economy, by adhering to the programmatic intentions of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP) for a new, more responsible, ethical and sustainable business model;
6. achievement of the United Nations Agenda 2030 goals, in particular with a concrete commitment to 11 of the 17 SDGs.

Processes

The Sustainability Plan naturally permeates the various business, decision-making and operational processes of the Sogin Group, with the aim of creating sustainable value for stakeholders in pursuit of its strategic activities to ensure the country's nuclear safety.

Each process contributes to the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
