Governance system

Iren Group’s governance is based on values, principles and ethical behavior within an industrial model that plans for sustainable growth to meet the expectations of all those who relate to the Group, consistent with the principle of sustainable success and the provisions of the Code of Ethics.

 

The Board of Directors defines the strategy, objectives, policies and principles of behavior to ensure the creation of value over time for shareholders and all other stakeholders, together with the sustainability plan that Iren has chosen to integrate into the Strategic Plan for the development of the Group. It assesses economic, environmental and social performance, risks and opportunities relevant to the Business Plan and is constantly involved in stakeholder engagement activities.

 

Internal Board Committees and Management Committees help ensure the integration and oversight of ESG (Environment, Social, Governance) factors, from strategic planning to the management and monitoring of the Group's activities.

Code of Ethics

The Code of Ethics is a tool prepared by Iren to define the behavioural principles and the values of business ethics that Iren and its subsidiaries recognise, accept, share and apply, and the set of responsibilities that they, as well as their respective employees and collaborators, adopt in internal and external relations.

Sustainability Policy

Iren's Sustainability Policy is defined to guide the Group's decisions and to make concrete commitments to ensure the responsible management of the business. It is developed to guide the integration of sustainability issues at strategic and operational levels and to foster awareness of the Group commitments in pursuing sustainable development in the medium and long term.

Managing and monitoring major business risks, in order to contribute to the sustainable success of the entire Group, is the goal of the Internal Control and Risk Management System (“SCIGR”). The Board of Directors defines the guidelines of the SCIGR and assesses its adequacy with respect to the characteristics of the enterprise and the directions expressed in the guidelines.

ESG and Climate Risks

The risk management system integrates within it, in line with the governance and strategy adopted by the Group, the assessment of sustainability aspects. For each risk category, provided in the Group’s Risk Map, environmental, social and governance (ESG) impacts are assessed. Of particular importance are the risks and opportunities related to climate change, for which a special Risk Policy has been developed.
