Our Commitment to Sustainable Growth

 

Sustainability is a core element of A4 Holding Group’s business model and guides decisions related to infrastructure management, safety, energy, investments, and service quality.

In 2025, the Group voluntarily initiated its first adoption of the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), further strengthening its approach to sustainability reporting, impact management, and stakeholder engagement.

OUR APPROACH AND STRATEGY

A Structured and Measurable Journey

The Group’s sustainability model is based on:

  • Double materiality assessment, which identifies impacts, risks and opportunities across the value chain
  • Integration of ESG factors into the corporate strategy and operating model

  • Alignment with the Abertis Group strategy
  • Continuous monitoring of performance and results

 

Sustainability Strategy 2022–2030

The Strategy is structured around three main pillars:

  • Eco-efficiency and Environmental Protection
    Reduction of emissions, efficient use of resources, and renewable energy.

  • Commitment to People and Communities
    Safety, quality employment, inclusion, and local development.

  • Good Governance
    Ethics, transparency, and anti-corruption.

These pillars are implemented through three-year ESG Plans, including the 2025–2027 ESG Plan.

Reducing Environmental Impact

The Group is committed to the transition towards a low-carbon business model through:

  • Reducing its carbon footprint
  • Using energy from renewable sources
  • Developing more efficient and resilient infrastructure

The main areas of action include:

  • Energy efficiency improvements
  • Expansion of infrastructure supporting electric mobility
  • Progressive development of photovoltaic systems
  • Optimization of materials and waste management

Over time, the Group’s environmental commitment has evolved from an operational management approach to an integrated strategy encompassing the entire value chain.

Enhancing Human Capital

Enhancing Human Capital

The Group promotes safe and dignified working conditions, continuous training, skills development, as well as equal opportunities and inclusion. Workplace health and safety represent a core element of the corporate management system.

Road Safety

The safety of road users is an integral part of the Group’s operating model, supported by continuous performance monitoring, infrastructure and technological improvements, and awareness-raising initiatives.

Engagement with Local Communities

The Group fosters partnerships with local communities, institutions, universities, and research centers through social and cultural initiatives, as well as collaborative projects.

Human Rights and Responsibility

Respect for human rights is an integral part of the Group’s sustainability framework.

In 2025, a structured Human Rights Due Diligence process was implemented, providing for:

  • Identification and assessment of risks across the value chain
  • Engagement with suppliers and stakeholders
  • Periodic audits and monitoring activities
  • Corrective actions and continuous improvement plans

Dedicated whistleblowing channels are in place and accessible to all stakeholders, enabling the reporting of concerns and potential violations in a secure and confidential manner.

Governance

Sustainability governance is structured across multiple levels:

  • Board of Directors
  • Sustainability Committee
  • Operational functions and reporting teams

The system is supported by an integrated set of tools and organizational mechanisms. In particular, the Group has adopted a Sustainability Policy, which defines its guiding principles and strategic directions, and a Certified Integrated Management System, which ensures a structured approach to the management of environmental, social, and governance matters.

These are complemented by continuous monitoring and control processes, designed to oversee performance and support the achievement of ESG objectives over time.

Our Sustainability

Today's world sets us targets and assigns us responsibilities regarding our work and our social and environmental performance. A company's market value is no longer defined by just its financial results: we must also focus on non-financial performance, particularly regarding the respect for human rights, the environment and the communities in which we operate.
