In an era where sustainability and corporate responsibility are taking center stage, ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) ratings have become more than just a catchword, they are a critical metric for long-term business success.

Here’s why SHELTER is focusing on securing an ESG rating and supporting its Customers in doing the same:

Competitive Edge: companies with high ESG ratings often outperform their peers in profitability and growth. By integrating ESG principles into our operations, we not only contribute to a better world but also position our business for success in a rapidly changing global economy.

Reputation & Trust: a strong ESG rating helps enhance any company’s reputation, building trust with employees, customers, partners, and the community. Ethical, responsible business practices are no longer optional—they are a necessity for staying relevant in today’s market.

Risk Management: ESG ratings can highlight potential risks – whether environmental impacts, social justice issues, or governance concerns -that could affect your business in the long run. By addressing these risks proactively, SHELTER can safeguard its organization’s future.

Client and Investor Confidence: clients and Investors are increasingly looking at a company’s ESG performance before making decisions. A solid ESG rating signals that SHELTER is aligned with global sustainability trends, making it more attractive to conscious clients and investors.

Regulatory Compliance: while not strictly mandatory for an enterprise as SHELTER, as governments around the world introduce stricter regulations around sustainability and corporate governance, having an established ESG framework in place, ensures being ahead of the curve, reducing compliance risks and penalties.

Incorporating ESG principles into any corporate strategy is no longer optional, it’s essential for future growth and sustainability. Whether you’re a startup or an established enterprise, prioritizing ESG is a smart investment in your business and the world at large.

A growth path that places people at the centre, transforming challenges into opportunities for continuous evolution.

In the current, constantly evolving context, prioritizing human development is crucial for companies that aspire to stand out. In response to this need, we launched an initiative aimed at stimulating the personal and professional growth of our collaborators at all organizational levels, from leadership to team members.

The heart of this project lies in the development of a personalized path for each individual, aimed at enhancing and strengthening their soft skills. Through a careful analysis of individual abilities, we are committed to outlining a development itinerary that can enhance talents and address everyone’s areas for improvement.

Our main aim is to draw a precise picture of the professional situation of each collaborator, highlighting the strengths to leverage and the growth opportunities to seize. In this journey of self-awareness and growth, we entrust the guidance to qualified specialists, who support each individual in recognizing and enhancing their distinctive skills.

We have always been convinced that investing in the development of the soft skills of our collaborators represents the key to facing future challenges with determination and building a working environment full of opportunities for learning and continuous improvement. And this project further demonstrates our commitment to enhancing human capital, placing people at the center of our corporate strategy.

The well-being and professional growth of our collaborators are essential for the long-term success and sustainability of the entire organization.

From 25th January 2023, the new criteria came into effect for the preparation of “basin management projects” (dams) pursuant to art. 114 of Legislative Decree 152/2006 through the DM 12 October 2022, n. 205. From the effective date of the new regulation, the Decree of the Ministry of the Environment and Territorial Protection of 30 June 2004 is repealed.

The new provision defines the criteria for drafting the management project for dams at least 15 meters high or with a reservoir volume exceeding 1 million cubic meters in order to carry out the operations of emptying, mud removal and degravel removal.

By 25 January 2024, the Regions will adopt the discipline dictating the criteria as defined by Ministerial Decree 205/2022. Dams or barriers that constitute regulation works of the large natural pre-Alpine lakes remain excluded from the new regulation, without prejudice to the need to guarantee the functionality of the drains.

In the case of reservoirs affected by a silted volume not exceeding 5 per cent of the original useful regulation volume and by an average annual silting rate not exceeding 0.5 per cent with respect to the original storage volume, which do not show accumulation of sediments in correspondence with the discharge organs, the reservoir management project can be presented in a simplified form (new concept introduced by the new DM).

For years we at SHELTER have been offering our servicies to the main players in the hydroelectric sector to support the ordinary and extraordinary management of their main assets on the national territory. The main fields of action concern the preparation of Management Projects, Operational Plans, geomorphological monitoring, environmental characterization of reservoirs and water bodies affected by them, environmental monitoring and specialist studies.
