SUSTAINABILITY REPORT
This Sustainability Report is an exercise that encompasses a wide range of trajectories and pathways, all leading to one objective: the energy transition. Especially since 2021, our Group’s name has increasingly been associated with sustainability as a feature of our business.
Our entry into the UN Global Compact in 2011 marked an important milestone. In the 10 years that have followed, our involvement has grown increasingly active.
OUR COMMITMENT
Recent years have seen us upgrade to a Participant in the UN Global Compact, enter into the Board of Directors of the Italian Network and sign the Women’s Empowerment Principles promoted by the UN Global Compact and UN Women. Following this, in 2021, we were particularly engaged in two working groups within the Italian Network: the Italian Business and the Decarbonization Working Group: a just and inclusive transition and D&I Observatory.
In the broader framework of our journey towards the 2030 Agenda, there are 14 Sustainable Development Goals on which we can effectively act as a business.

ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2021
A collection of our milestones from our sustainable journey in 2021.
To raise awareness of the fundamental role that engineering can play in the era of ecological and digital transition, Evolve puts the historical, technical, and cultural identity of our Group at the service of training tomorrow’s humanist engineers.
Maire Tecnimont Group is the first Italian engineering player to have chosen the RISE with SAP offer to manage its activities and operational processes completely on the cloud, to accelerate its digital transformation and continue its decarbonization journey.
We sponsored the event organized by the Global Compact Network Italy and Women 20, the official G20 engagement group on gender equity.
Enabling the energy transition, innovating by creating value for people and communities.
Inauguration of a bio-gas pilot plant and signing of an agreement to set up the interdisciplinary “Maire Tecnimont Centre for Research on Waste Recycling and Circular Economy” in partnership with NITK.
Participation in the D&I Observatory within the Global Compact Network Italy for the preparation of the “Guidelines on Diversity & Inclusion in the company”.
OUR GOALS
In 2021, we launched our sustainability strategy and set up multiple workshops to develop lines of action, projects, and initiatives designed to achieve our Key Priority Goals and, more specifically, the objectives set out in our ESG agenda towards 2026.
Be Enabler of Energy Transition
Contribute to sustainable mobility through a wide range of technological solutions for green, low carbon, and bio fuels.
Enable the circularity of plastics through recycling technologies that improve quality and address the non-recyclable fractions.
Enable the transition to a hydrogen economy through a wide mix of technological solutions.
Contribute to a lower carbon economy through solutions for a more sustainable use of gas and for lower carbon intensity.
Be Enabler of Sustainable Social Progress
Promote open innovation and digitalization as a lever for sustainable progress.
Be a sector champion for HSE performances.
Promote a real multicultural and inclusive company environment.
Be a value multiplier in the countries where we operate.

PILLARS
In 2021 we launched our sustainability strategy and set up multiple workshops to develop lines of action, projects, and initiatives designed to achieve our Key Priority Goals and, more specifically, the objectives set out in our ESG agenda.
Our Group’s sustainability strategy extends across four pillars: the first is related to the climate, the circular economy, and the environment, the second is related to our human capital, the third is related to innovation, and the fourth to the value we bring to the communities and territories where we operate in the world.
Fighting Climate Change & Enabling the Energy Transition
In 2021, our Group continued on its quest to improve the environmental performance of its traditional technologies and to develop its portfolio of “enabling” technologies for the energy transition. Alongside the area of the circular economy and that of the production of fuels from biogenic rather than fossil sources, 2021 marked significant progress in terms of technologies for the production of low-carbon hydrogen and green ammonia, as well as with regard to the production of biopolymers and the capture of CO2. Our Group is also actively working on its commitments towards its own carbon neutrality goals, through the Met Zero Task Force, completely dedicated to the reduction of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions.

Our People & the Value of Health, Safety, Diversity
We maintain constant excellence that differentiates us on training and our contribution to employment growth and have created a system that guarantees the safety and well-being of our people at all times and in all locations while also building a strong focus on multiculturalism and inclusion into the fabric of our Group. These trends increasingly encompass many of our activities, including those regarding safety (for example, in relation to the Stop and Coach project, where the effectiveness of messages has been tested against the multicultural diversity of the target audience), well-being on construction sites (for example by integrating into our Green Village project solutions in the camps’ common areas that facilitate cultural integration between people of different religions), or diversity management policies (with the involvement of female employees to jointly develop ideas and initiatives on the issue of gender equality and the establishment of the Working Group on Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion). Of all the initiatives, however, one, in particular, stands out: the Flourishing Program which helps young employees grow more quickly, giving the future of our Group a new direction.

Creation of Innovation That Brings Well-being
There has been a huge digitalization effort, which has permeated all our activity and involved organization, engineering, and also construction, with advantages in many areas, including efficiency, the improvement of predictive and control phases, and the reduction of emission sources. We have also expanded and strengthened our partnerships with universities and the open innovation projects we participate in and developed our own highly visible initiatives (such as the creation of the first sailboat with a 3D-printed recycled plastic hull, helping us in the development of product solutions that are increasingly closer to the demands of the final markets). We have also continued to set up multi-stakeholder initiatives where we act as promoters or participants (such as the Observatory on bio-lubricants or the research project on electrolyzers).

Value of Countries & Communities
We have a growing number of In Country Value indicators and are increasing our commitment to CSR. Alongside the help we have given to a number of organizations during the pandemic, the projects we are developing in India stand out: here, we are actively collaborating on transferring our knowledge, helping to create the future enablers of tomorrow’s energy transition. We are doing this through the Research Centre on the Circular Economy and Recycling created in conjunction with NITK, where we will train professionals to contribute to implementing the ambitious plans of the Indian government in the decades to follow.
