Sustainability

Snam's approach to sustainability is based on Shared Value,[12][13] a concept elaborated by Michael E. Porter in collaboration with Mark R. Kramer that explores the link between a company and its environment and their mutual interdependence.[14] In order to create Shared Value, Snam promotes sustainable development along its entire transport, dispatchment, regasification, storage and distribution process.[12]

In 2009 [15] the company joined the United Nations Global Compact [16] and since 2006 has published a sustainability report in accordance with the Global Reporting Initiative's guidelines.[17][18] Moreover, Snam operates within the reference framework of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the ILO and the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises.[19]

Its commitment towards the environment focuses on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions and safeguarding biodiversity.[20] Among its social initiatives, Snam partners with Legambiente [21] and Federparchi [22] and, in 2012, joined the Sodalitas Foundation, which seeks to build bridges between the entrepreneurial world in Italy and the non-profit sector.[23]
