Since 1930, the Group has built its growth on technological innovation and product development. In 2025, more than 65% of the Group's turnover was generated by activities classified as environmentally sustainable under the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852, including the manufacture, installation, maintenance and repair of energy-efficiency equipment and renewable energy technologies (aligned activities). The Group's 2030 greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an independent organization that assesses the alignment of corporate climate targets with the goals of the Paris Agreement (1.5°C pathway). SBTi validation confirms that the targets are scientifically aligned with this trajectory (in particular, please also refer to the 2025 Annual Report, pages 43-44, 64-67, 74, 80, 90-92).

Approaching our 100th anniversary with purpose and responsibility
We reaffirm our commitment to sustainability through a new ESG vision and a set of ambitious goals to 2030. Our manifesto, Road to 100, is a strategic ESG plan that draws on our industrial culture to shape our sustainable future.
Our targets
We defined a comprehensive ESG strategy
A plan dedicated to seamlessly integrating sustainability into our corporate approach
We are aware that sustainability means long-term vision and clear-cut objectives, which can be achieved only through a solid path of initiatives and concrete actions. Our strategy spans five key areas of engagement, ensuring an integrated approach to environmental, social, and governance responsibility. Our roadmap sets out a detailed and structured plan, built on short- and medium-term targets and supported by concrete initiatives.
Our commitment to reducing CO₂ emissions and increasing avoided emissions by 2030.
We operate in a sector that can enable a significant reduction in greenhouse gas emissions through the adoption of more efficient and renewable technologies. Our 2030 emission reduction targets have been validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), an independent organization that assesses their alignment with the 1.5°C pathway of the Paris Agreement. As of 2025, we have reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 33% compared with 2021, progressing toward our 42% reduction target by 2030, and improved by 24% the emissions intensity of the Scope 3 category related to the use of sold products, measured as emissions per million euros of added value (emissions/EBITDA), toward a target of more than 50% reduction by 2030. Emissions are measured in accordance with the international standards defined by the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol. In 2025, more than 65% of the Group's turnover was generated by activities classified as environmentally sustainable under the EU Taxonomy Regulation (EU) 2020/852 (aligned activities).
In the same year (2025), the Group estimates that it contributed to the cumulative avoidance of 46.2 million tonnes of CO2 equivalent emissions (Scope 4 emissions), representing 46% of its target of 100 million tonnes of avoided CO2 equivalent emissions over the 2020–2030 period. Avoided emissions represent an estimate of the climate benefit associated with the use of renewable and high-efficiency products sold by the Group, replacing less efficient technologies in the installed base. The calculation is performed according to the methodology described in the Road to 100 program, using sales data, product energy performance data, and estimates of the installed base developed on the basis of market analyses and market intelligence studies.

Key Areas of Engagement
Explore areas of Engagement
We involved all our relevant groups of stakeholders in the process of revising our materiality assessment and we considered the most pressing ESG challenges to identify five key areas of engagement to focus on. As a result, our ESG strategy emcompasses solutions, operations, customers, people & communities, and sustainable governance.
