Dear readers,
The year that has just ended has highlighted more than ever the extent to which climate change requires institutions and companies to invest decisively in long-term adaptation strategies.
CVA is among the leading energy service providers in Italy. The Group’s core business lies in the production of 100% renewable electricity. The Sustainability Report is built on the consolidated corporate perimeter that refers to the companies: CVA, Valdigne Energie, CVA Eos, CVA Energie and Deval. As of 2023, the CVA Group will be expanded to include new production companies: SR Investimenti, Agreen Energy, CVA Smart Energy and Bonifiche Ferraresi.
CVA’s Integrated Plan combines corporate development with environmental and social sustainability in order to generate shared value and contribute to the energy transition. Through an approach based on specific courses of action, the Group aims to achieve concrete results in the long term.
2022 marked a step backwards in the energy timetable. The CVA Group is playing a role in the Valle d’Aosta decarbonisation strategy, through a project that supports electrification, renewable energy development and energy efficiency.
