Press Release
Rome 17 September 2021 – The international rating agency, MSCI ESG Ratings, specialized in monitoring of approximately 2,800 companies in sustainability and corporate governance, has confirmed its upgrade of Atlantia's rating from BB to BBB.
The company therefore rises in the ranking of the "Transportation Infrastructure" sector, positioning itself among the best 11 companies (out of a total of about 30) that make up the MSCI ACWI Index.
The positive trend is due to the progress recently made by the Group in integrating ESG factors into its business models. In particular, the Group's ability to engage with and listen to local communities and our constant commitment to minimising the impact of our activities on local areas and the environment were viewed positively.
"Atlantia's sustainability strategy covers all our subsidiaries and is one of the change factors driving the Group's strategic transformation, which we are pursuing with resolve and determination. The ratings provide us with encouragement to further strengthen our commitment, focusing on sustainability and innovation to enable us to take advantage of new growth opportunities in the mobility sector," said Katia Riva, Atlantia's Chief Sustainability Officer.
The new rating comes a few weeks after the company's confirmation in the FTSE4Good index (which is used by the market to create and evaluate responsible investment funds) and the inclusion, by Refinitiv (which maintains a global database for financial markets and provides ESG assessments for over 10,000 companies), among the 25 greenest stocks listed on the Milan Stock Exchange.
