We protect biodiversity and collaborate on projects to preserve the natural environment
We protect the environment to contain or eliminate, where feasible, negative impacts on biodiversity, including deforestation, that may be generated by our activities, promoting the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems through more efficient use of resources and respect for land throughout the value chain.
These principles underpin our broader Environmental Policy and the Environmental Management Systems adopted by our Group functions and companies.
In the environmental policy we declare our commitments with reference to the UN Global Sustainable Development Goals and with respect to Goal 15 on biodiversity preservation and support for zero deforestation, which mainly concern:
- the consideration of environmental sustainability and biodiversity protection aspects in new infrastructure and service development projects;
- the assessment of environmental risks present in general at the various levels of the value chain and their mitigation including through partnerships at the national and international level to reduce the environmental impact of purchased products and services and processes.
These principles of biodiversity preservation also involves our stakeholders including suppliers to raise awareness and increase performance efficiency through engagement activities such as participation in materiality analysis, qualification on the Open-es platform, and involvement in capacity building act.
The biodiversity commitments summarized in the Environmental Policy, are defined by Executive Management and validated by the Sustainability Committee, which, among other tasks, oversees the TIM Group's environmental sustainability strategy and the implementation of ESG initiatives.
Finally, through the adoption of environmental management systems consistent with international standards, we ensure effective management of environmental aspects in terms of waste and emissions reduction, decrease in energy costs and conscious use of resources.
