“Setting goals is the first step in turning the invisible into the visible”
(A. Robbins)
Two billion three hundred million in sales in 2020, four billion three hundred million in 2021, about 8 million tons of refined product in Augusta in each of the two reference years and about one million six hundred thousand (in 2020) and two million (in 2021) of tons of fuel moved from the Naples, Augusta and Palermo depots. These are some of the results achieved by Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l. during 2020 and 2021. Numbers that continue to give a sense of the company’s presence in Italy as a strategic entity that successfully established itself after the start of 2019 despite the 2020 pandemic and its subsequent waves in 2021 with the consequent complicated economic situation for the whole sector.
In this context, aware of the fact that the process towards sustainable development is now to be considered irreversible, we have continued to measure the degree of sustainability of our activities with the Sustainability Impact Rating (SI Rating TM), going from a result of 77% of 2020 to 86% of 2021. We are particularly proud of the fact that a third party measures our path towards a more sustainable future; a path that combines development and health, well-being and safety, progress and environmental protection.
Acquiring sustainability as a cornerstone of business activity means standardizing all aspects of corporate organization in an open and moving vision and this is even more true for refineries, whose role remains central within the energy transition and will be for many years to come.
An even more important challenge in light of the evolution in 2020 of an unprecedented health emergency, the COVID-19, which has changed the way we live, work and interface with the outside world.
After all, the historical phase we have gone through, characterized precisely by the pandemic emergency, has confirmed, for the umpteenth time, the strategic nature of a sector that has made and must make social responsibility and sustainability the cornerstones of its business and Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l. wants to continue to represent in this field an essential support to the growth process of the Sicilian and international oil industry. The complexity of the situations in which Sonatrach Raffineria Italiana S.r.l. is operating, the challenges of sustainable development, as well as the need to take into consideration the interests of all stakeholders in the company’s business, reinforce the importance of clearly defining the values and responsibilities that the company recognizes, accepts, shares and assumes, helping to build a better future for all.
