Genoa, 26 October 2016 - During the presentation of the CDP Climate Leadership Awards held yesterday in Milan, ERG received the Award for Best Newcomer Italy assigned by the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP) in collaboration with Borsa Italiana, with a newcomer evaluation of B (out of a scale from A to D).

A significant award recognising the company's actions and strategies for combating climate change, together with disclosure transparency. This result also confirms the constant commitment towards a sustainable growth model that combines economic performance with a reduction in CO2 emissions. Its positioning as a green business, a leader in the generation of electricity from renewable sources, enables ERG to actively contribute to the economy's progressive decarbonisation. An undertaking in keeping with the outcomes from COP 21, endorsed by the Paris Agreement, which view the development of renewable energy as a fundamental element in the fight against climate change.

CDP is an independent international organisation that offers companies, governments and investors the only global environmental reporting system, created based on the impact data regarding the activities of more than 4,500 companies in 80 countries. CDP collaborates with over 800 institutional investors (representing more than 100 trillion dollars of capitalisation) in order to help them identify the risk of their investment portfolios.
