Hera has designed its Business Plan to 2024 consistently with the external scenario, where international policy makers are indicating clear priorities in terms of environment, society, and innovation. Hera has outlined a dual path, both for the creation of Shared Value and for the industrial strategy, pursuing respectively the UN 2030 Agenda and the European policies – especially those featured in the “Next Generation EU” program. This approach allows Hera to make a concrete contribution to the achievement of major sustainability goals, while offering the perspective of attractive returns by fuelling Group growth.
