The Management Board and Supervisory Board of Alperia Spa approved - on 29 November 2023 and 11 December 2023 respectively - the update of the Group's Business Plan 2023 - 2027. The update of the Plan confirmed the strategic guidelines of the original Plan: sustainability, consolidation and innovation.

With regard to sustainability, the priority remains the reduction of emissions, the creation of value on the territory and the construction of integrated governance.  With the consolidation initiatives, Alperia intends to strengthen the business in South Tyrol and in all the territories currently served, also consolidating the financial exposure. This also includes the consolidation of the product portfolio and services offered. 

In terms of innovation, Alperia intends to transform its business in line with the energy transition. In this regard, it remains fundamental to transform the value proposition on the sale of commodities and services in terms of sustainability and customer centricity.

Our pillars:

Sustainability

Alperia's priorities are: reducing emissions in line with territorial objectives, generating added value to the territory (Net Zero by 2040), adopting inclusion, equity & diversity policies and creating an integrated governance model to transform the Group's main companies into Benefit Companies and obtain an ESG rating.

Consolidation

Alperia intends to strengthen its business in South Tyrol and in all the territories it currently serves by consolidating its financial exposure. This also includes the consolidation of its product and service portfolio and the formal establishment of a sustainable finance framework aimed at consolidating its capital structure.

Innovation

Alperia intends to develop its business in line with the energy transition. Key to this will be transforming the value proposition of commodity sales and services to follow sustainable and customer-centric principles. In general, Alperia intends to pursue widespread innovation in its core businesses and develop new businesses for decarbonisation (H2, biomethane, CER and photovoltaics).
