The Green Corridor project, worth EUR 138,500, is a central element of the regional strategy for sustainable mobility and intermodal logistics, with a focus on the decarbonisation and digitalisation of transport. In line with the objectives of the European Green Deal, the project promotes a more efficient and environmentally friendly multimodal logistics system. Furthermore, for the entire duration of the project, scheduled for 12 months, Circle S.p.A. will work closely with the stakeholders of the sector to ensure the achievement of the envisaged objectives. In particular, it will lead the development of the Green Corridor through a strategic and operational approach, including the mapping of green initiatives at European and global level, the involvement of local stakeholders, including institutions, enterprises and logistics operators, the scouting of funding opportunities at European, national and regional level and the elaboration of at least two project proposals to participate in European funding calls.

Alexio Picco, Managing Director di Circle S.p.A., commented: 'We are excited to contribute to the realisation of a Green Corridor that can become a reference model on national and European level. As also described in our business plan 'Connect 4 Agile Growth', digitalisation and innovation will be key levers for a successful green transition and for making logistics more competitive. The awarding of the contract to Circle is a strategic step, strengthening the area's ability to attract investment for the modernisation of logistics and transport infrastructure.'
