TERNA CONFIRMED AT THE TOP IN WORLD SUSTAINABILITY

For the eleventh consecutive year, the company led by Stefano Donnaruma has been included on

the prestigious Stoxx Global ESG Leaders international index.

Rome, 21 September 2021 - Terna, the company that manages the Italian electricity grid, has been confirmed for the eleventh consecutive year in the Stoxx Global ESG Leaders sustainability index. The company lead by Stefano Donnarumma achieved this prestigious international recognition for its excellent performance in all the areas analysed, and specifically in the Environment, Social and Governance (ESG) sectors. The Stoxx Global ESG Leaders index, which this year includes 410 companies worldwide, of which 18 are Italian, has evaluated a total of approximately 1,800 companies.

Specifically, the index is characterised by transparency in its selection criteria, based on a rating model provided by Sustainalytics which evaluates the companies against a set of Environmental, Social and Governance indicators. In particular, to be on or to be confirmed on the ESG Leaders indices, a company must distinguish itself in at least one of the three ESG areas and therefore be included in the relevant index: the Stoxx Global Environmental Leaders, the Stoxx Global Social Leaders or the Stoxx Global ESG Governance Leaders. Thanks to results achieved in all the areas analysed, Terna has been confirmed on the main Stoxx Global ESG Leaders Index.

With this recognition Terna has further cemented its spot as a world leader in sustainability, a strategic driver and one of the pillars on which the company's business is built. Terna's dedication to sustainability in its business is reinforced in the 2021-2025 'Driving Energy' Industrial Plan through the definition of specific targets aimed at creating value in the medium-long term. Terna had already been recognised for the third consecutive year as the number one company in the Electric Utilities sector on the Dow Jones Sustainability World Index for its sustainability performance and as one of the 50 most sustainable companies in the world during the 2020 SEAL (Sustainability, Environmental Achievement & Leadership) Business Sustainability Awards. Furthermore, the company is one the main international indices, including: Bloomberg GEI, Euronext (World, Europe and Eurozone), FTSE4Good (Global and Europe), Ethibel Sustainability Index, MSCI, United Nations Global Compact ("GC100").
