32. Information by business segment
The information about business segments has been prepared in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 8 – “Operating segments”, which requires the information to be presented in a manner consistent with the procedures adopted by the Company’s management when taking operational decisions. Consequently, the identification of the operating segments and the information presented are defined on the basis of the internal reporting used by the Company’s management for allocating resources to the different segments and for analysing the respective performances.
The business segments for which information is provided are natural gas transportation (“Transportation”), LNG regasification (“Regasification”), natural gas storage (“Storage”) and natural gas distribution (“Distribution”). They relate to activities carried out predominantly by Snam Rete Gas, GNL Italia, Stogit and Italgas, respectively.
