Every day we strive to create shared value in the territories and communities where we operate, combining our industrial objectives with the socio-economic development of the areas in which we carry out our activities.

We work with respect for the ecosystem, people and communities and are responsible for the way we manage water resources, for the safety and impact of our plants and for the wellbeing of the people who work with us.

From 2020 we offset our operational emissions (Scope 1 and Scope 2) and have set ourselves the target of reducing emissions by 46% by 2027 and 70% by 2031 (compared to 2021) to finally reach Net Zero by 2040.

We believe in constant dialogue with our stakeholders. By listening to each other and exchanging knowledge and experience, we established 16 material topics on which Alperia has built its Sustainability Plan.

our daily commitment

Safety first

We have invested EUR 180 million so far to maintain our facilities and eliminate inefficiencies. We carry out constant monitoring activities to ensure safety and avoid breakdowns and inefficiencies.

Investments in Research and Development

The energy transition requires major investments in innovation: we have invested more than two million euros in this area and created an Innovation Board to manage investments in an increasingly targeted manner.

Digital challenges

The digitisation process has entered an increasingly advanced phase. In 2021, Alperia's Data Protection & Security structure was consolidated, ISO 27001 certification was renewed and a training platform on cyber-security and data protection was introduced.

Focus on our team

People are our strength. We invest in their growth, we support diversity, we support them with work-life balance measures, and we create an inclusive and secure environment, where everyone is free to express their full potential.

Commitment to customers

We supply electricity, natural gas and district heating to almost 381,000 customers. Families and companies with whom we are building a transparent relationship, with an assiduous presence in the area.

The Plan to reduce emissions

We have achieved carbon neutrality by offsetting our emissions from operations. To reduce them further, we have built new district heating plants and implemented measures such as sending bills digitally, smart working, green mobility for our staff and electrifying our entire car fleet.

Our sustainable products and services

100% of the energy we sell to residential customers is green and the share of green gas has also increased. We have also strengthened our presence among SMEs based outside South Tyrol so that they adopt our Green Energy and Green Gas.
