In a much weakened national and international economic context marked by financial instability and the on-going recession in the euro zone, Edison has seen a profound change in its company structure, with the EDF Group becoming the company’s main shareholder. This transition will allow Edison, an historic Italian company, to better tackle the short-term challenges that have emerged in recent years. The backing of a solid shareholder will indeed help Edison to achieve its goals in terms of development. As part of a global strategy, Edison will play an international role as the Group’s gas platform, benefiting both from Italy’s strategic position in the Mediterranean and the skills acquired in this sector. The scheduled billion euro investment over the next three years in exploration and production of hydrocarbons and gas in Italy, confirms the path Edison will be taking, starting from the reinforcement of its position in Italy. In this situation, the adoption of a sustainable development model remains a business management philosophy for Edison, aimed at achieving economic growth with minimal impact on the environment and the social context. Energy providers can actually play a strategic role in achieving this goal, as their activities have direct economic, social and environmental impacts and they are, therefore, among those primarily responsible for adopting good sustainability practices. In 2012, Edison continued to contribute to the creation of a new development model. Its attendance at the Rio +20 Conference on Sustainable Development, as part of the Italian Global Compact delegation, represents an actual proof of this effort. On this occasion, Edison confirmed its position regarding the use of gas as a source of thermoelectric energy with a low environmental impact and a resource for transition towards a scenario in which energy efficiency, renewable energy sources and sustainable mobility are structural components of the energy system. The company’s support to institutions in defining the National Energy Strategy and the participation in the General Assembly for the Green Economy (Stati Generali della Green Economy) also highlight Edison’s active engagement in the creation of new development policies. Specifically, in 2012 we improved our environmental and safety management systems, achieving the important milestone of ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 coverage of all our production sites. In spite of this difficult period, above all for Italian families, our social commitment has increased significantly, through partnerships with associations, donations and sponsorships in social, environmental and cultural areas. Edison considers its partnerships with no-profit associations to be an effective means of dialogue with civil society, local communities and the stakeholders it deals with on a day-to-day basis. But they are also means of sharing experiences, paths taken and common values with other players. Players who help us to be what can be defined as “good citizens”. Because a business, with its industrial and commercial activities, must necessarily be part of the community, with its human capital of history, values, people and responsibilities. In 2012 in particular we worked to promote a culture of energy efficiency and sustainable development in schools with Eco-Generation (in cooperation with Legambiente), in the world of music with Edison Change the Music, and in 4 Sustainability Report Edison 2012 cinema with Edison Green Movie, the first European protocol for the production of movies with a low environmental impact. Concerning social responsibility, in collaboration with Anpil, we achieved the goal of reuniting the Haitian children hit by the 2010 earthquake with their families. The “Insieme per Haiti” (Together for Haiti) project has gathered Edison employees for three years in a great expression of solidarity. Our several social projects are all dedicated to those who are most vulnerable, young people and children, with the common aim of protecting their fundamental rights, that is, eventually their right to grow. But business responsibility means, above all, running a “good business”, in a responsible way. With this regard, we have set up work groups and projects dedicated to dealing with significant issues connected to corporate responsibility,
