The utility operates in Italy and, through associated companies, in Austria (TAG, GCA), France (Terēga), Greece (DESFA), the UAE (Adnoc Gas Pipelines) and the United Kingdom (Interconnector UK and dCarbonX Limited).
The Group is also working to reduce natural gas emissions from its assets: in 2023, Snam achieved a 55% reduction compared to 2015 and has set a target of 64% by 2027.
136, at the time of the establishment of ENI, the impact of methane production in the Po Valley remained significant, making the exclusive reserve on the exploration and cultivation of hydrocarbons granted to the state company in that area highly relevant.
[8] In 1983, the Transmed pipeline was completed, capable of transporting Algerian gas through the Mediterranean and Italy, from Sicily to Lombardy, over a total length of more than 2,400 kilometers.
[8] In April 2019, Snam launched the first injection of a hydrogen and natural gas into the pipeline, the Europe's first commercial test of a hydrogen-methane blend in a high-pressure network.
[50] In order to create Shared Value, Snam promotes sustainable development and ESG (environmental, social, and corporate governance) factors integration along its transport, dispatchment, regasification, storage and distribution process.
Snam adopts an ESG Committee, made up of independent members of the board with advisory function on the link between corporate performance and environmental, social and governance factors.
Snam operates within the reference framework of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the Fundamental Conventions of the ILO and the OECD Guidelines on Multinational Enterprises.
Among its social initiatives, Snam partners with Legambiente and Federparchi and, in 2012, joined the Sodalitas Foundation, which seeks to build bridges between the entrepreneurial world in Italy and the non-profit sector.
The new brand, applied across all controlled activities, was a reinterpretation of the historic 1940s logo chosen to enhance Snam’s strategic role.
The selected colors also supported the effort to reclaim historical memory, with blue traditionally representing the natural essence of methane gas, and shades of gray up to metal tones emphasizing the physical elements of infrastructure and the technology used in their construction.
[71][72] In 2018, a new logo was introduced, still rooted in Snam’s tradition, featuring a color shift from blue to green to underscore the sustainability and environmental compatibility of natural gas.
The same year also saw the introduction of the new purpose “Energia per ispirare il mondo” (“Energy to inspire the world”), a message that forms the cornerstone of Snam’s strategic repositioning after celebrating its 75th anniversary.
[73][74] In 2024, Snam presented its new ambition statement “Infrastrutture energetiche per un futuro sostenibile” (“Energy infrastructure for a sustainable future”) as a completion of its value system.
The expression highlights new sustainability goals, including CO2 emission reduction and achieving carbon neutrality by 2040, alongside the “Net Zero” objective by 2050.
