Reading Guide

The contents of the Directors’ Report, which constitutes the Integrated Report of Snam (hereinafter also Report on Integrated Management), are presented following the indications of the Framework proposed by the IIRC (International Integrated Reporting Council). The objective of the document is to represent, in addition to annual operating results, Snam’s model for the creation of value and the sustainability of the business over the medium and long term, thereby indicating and demonstrating the interconnections between strategy, governance, business and financial performance, and the social, environmental and economic environment in which the enterprise operates.

The aspects covered by the Report represent the principal factors that have a potential impact on business and financial performance and material sustainability issues.

The following schedules facilitate reconciliation of the various keys to reading and interpretation recommended by the IIRC Framework and the content of the Report.

The management report also contains studies referred to some aspects described in Consolidated non-financial statement (NFS) which constitutes a specific section thereof, in compliance with the provisions of Legislative Decree no.254/2016.

NFS contents are integrated, where deemed necessary and appropriate, by some studies described in the Directors’ report, which can be identified and consulted by following the specific references:
