Terna is included in all three leading indices: environmental, social and governance

Sustainability is central to Terna's strategy for combining capital expenditure and growth for Italy

Terna is a world leader for sustainability: the Italian national electricity grid operator has been confirmed in the STOXX Global Leaders Indices for the seventh consecutive year. This was the outcome of the annual review by the company STOXX Limited, which assessed sustainability performance to select 400 listed companies for 2017, from the 1,800 in the international basket making up the STOXX Global 1800 Index. This is a particularly important result for Terna as overall only 13 Italian companies are included among the STOXX Global ESG Leaders.

Inclusion in this international index - which follows Terna's recent selection by RobecoSam as Italian leader in the electricity sector of the Dow Jones Sustainability Index - confirms the central position of sustainability in Terna's strategy to combine capital expenditure with growth for Italy. This will be achieved through development and modernisation of an electricity grid which is increasingly secure, with reduced environmental impact and lower costs for all parties.

Thanks to excellent performance in all areas analysed - environmental, social and governance - Terna has been confirmed in all three indices of the ESG Leaders (STOXX Global Environmental Leaders, STOXX Global Social Leaders and STOXX Global ESG Governance Leaders). This demonstrates particular merit, as for inclusion or confirmation in the ESG Leaders indices, a company only needs to stand out in one of the three analysis areas to then be included in the relative index. These indices are characterised by transparency in the selection criteria based on indicators suggested by the EFFAS (European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies) and by the DVFA (Society of Investment Professionals in Germany).

In addition to inclusion in the STOXX ESG indices, Terna is also present in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index and in all the other major sustainability indices, including FTSE4Good, Euronext Vigeo, ECPI, MSCI, ETHIBEL SUSTAINABILITY INDEX (ESI), GC100 (United Nations Global Compact).
