Rome - 14 February 2024 - ENAV, the Italian Air Navigation Service Provider, has reached a significant milestone in its efforts to prevent climate change. In fact, it achieved an “A-“ rating from the CDP (previously the Carbon Disclosure Project), an international non-profit organisation that assesses companies' commitment to managing and monitoring climate change-related risks and opportunities.

The ENAV Group, led by CEO Pasqualino Monti, ranks for the first time among the global leaders in this area. The Company's rating, in fact, improved significantly from the previous “C” on a scale where “D-” is the lowest score and “A” represents the greatest.

Chief Executive Officer Pasqualino Monti: “It is an achievement that I share with all the people in our Group, to whom I am grateful. In recent months, we have changed our company structure to better integrate sustainability into industrial strategies. Our attitude is now cultural. Climate change is a challenge that ENAV has long taken up and the results show it. We have not only reduced our emissions but, thanks to our operational capabilities in route optimisation, we are assisting airlines to consume less and thus reduce emissions and delays for the benefit of passengers and the community”.

The “A-” rating of ENAV demonstrates the validity of the decarbonisation strategy adopted following the approval of climate targets by the Science Based Targets initiative, managing to reduce direct and indirect climate-changing emissions by more than 80% compared to 2019; furthermore, in 2023, the purchase of carbon credits for the portion of emissions not yet reducible (around 20%) allowed the Group to achieve carbon neutrality.

The score achieved by ENAV in the CDP rating is higher than the European average (equal to “B”) and also above the average of the Industrial Support Services segment (equal to “C”), and places ENAV within the 14% of companies that have achieved leadership level in the sector.

CDP, which analysed the engagement of over 23,000 companies in managing and monitoring climate change-related risks and opportunities through a questionnaire, is confirmed as the international benchmark for assessing environmental performance.
