These actions form part of the Sustainability Plan 2024-2027, which defines the objectives, initiatives and indicators guiding the Company’s energy transition and decarbonisation process.
Objective: Net zero emissions by 2025
From 2025, Rai Way has achieved carbon neutrality by offsetting its direct and indirect Scope 1 and 2 emissions through market-based mechanisms, generated by its business activities, in order to combat climate change and reduce its environmental impact.
Our Actions
Reducing direct emissions
- 100% renewable electricity, certified with guarantees of origin
- Energy efficiency measures at transmission sites and replacement of high-consumption equipment
- Renewal of the company fleet with hybrid and electric vehicles
Compensation of residual emissions
Purchase of certified carbon credits to offset emissions that cannot be directly eliminated
Transparent reporting
Rai Way reports its direct (Scope 1) and indirect (Scope 2 and 3) emissions through a Carbon Inventory based on the GHG Protocol standard.
The results are reported in the Sustainability Report, in accordance with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and in line with the recommendations of the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) and the scenarios developed by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Commitment to Science-Based Targets
Rai Way has defined its Decarbonisation Plan, aimed at identifying the key drivers of decarbonisation and translating them into targets – consistent with the criteria of the SBTi initiative – and measurable initiatives for reducing emissions Scope1, 2 and 3. Rai Way’s strategy integrates sustainability into its business model, linking the strategic directions and targets of the Sustainability Plan with material issues.
Emissions reduction and offsetting for Carbon Neutrality 2025
As part of the strategic objective of the 2024–2027 Sustainability Plan aimed at combating climate change and reducing environmental impact, there is a specific target to reduce emissions and achieve carbon neutrality by 2025.
To this end, Rai Way has chosen to offset the emissions generated by its Scope 1 and 2 (market-based) activities by purchasing carbon credits through ‘The Envira Amazonia Project’, a forest conservation initiative located in the state of Acre, Brazil, aimed at protecting existing forests, preventing deforestation and consequently reducing greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide (CO₂). Participation in this project has enabled the purchase and subsequent cancellation of carbon credits to offset residual emissions. The project, in fact, falls within the category of “emissions reduction projects”, as it generates credits from emissions avoided through the REDD+ mechanism (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation).
