Mundys cuts CO2 emissions by 35 per cent and installs 1,350 electric vehicle columns

Sustainability is increasingly at the heart of the industrial strategy of Mundys, a global leader in the mobility and infrastructure sector, with companies that manage airport and motorway concessions in numerous countries. In the airport sector, the Mundys group includes Aeroporti di Roma (Adr), the operator of Fiumicino and Ciampino airports, and Aéroports de la Côte d'Azur (Aca), the company that controls the French airports of Nice, Cannes-Mandelieu and Saint Tropez. The group holds toll motorway concessions in 11 countries, totalling 8,900 kilometres, mainly through its subsidiary Abertis. In addition, Mundys owns 51% of Telepass (the electronic toll collection company).

Since 2019, the group has already reduced its direct CO2 emissions by 35 per cent, moving closer to its target of zero emissions by 2040. A concrete achievement, the result of structural measures and targeted investments.

Mundys, spiegano fonti della società, ha intrapreso dal 2022 un percorso per integrare la sostenibilità nelle sue attività lungo l’intera catena del valore grazie a una chiara strategia volta al trasporto sostenibile attraverso il Climate Action Plan. Il piano si propone obiettivi specifici, tra cui: azzerare le emissioni nette dirette entro il 2040; passare al consumo di energia elettrica proveniente al 90% da fonti rinnovabili entro il 2030 e al 100% nel 2040; coinvolgere almeno il 60% delle compagnie aeree che operano presso gli scali aeroportuali di Mundys affinché definiscano obiettivi di decarbonizzazione in linea con le traiettorie scientifiche entro il 2028, prendendo il 2019 come anno base di riferimento; ridurre del 50% entro il 2030 le emissioni generate dalle società partecipate non di maggioranza o in joint venture, rispetto ai livelli del 2019; ridurre del 22% entro il 2030 l’intensità delle emissioni di CO2 legate all’acquisto di materiali, prodotti e servizi per la gestione delle r

The efforts have already produced results. Thanks to measures such as the electrification of company fleets, the use of LEDs, photovoltaic power plants and efficient air conditioning systems, 82% of the group's electricity consumption now comes from renewable sources.

On the sustainable mobility front, Mundys is working on a plan to expand the recharging network for electric vehicles, which currently has more than 1,350 active points, on motorways and in airports. A significant contribution comes from Abertis, which plans to install 918 stations along its motorway network by 2027, of which more than 700 are already operational. Further installations will be made in airport parking areas. The first example is the 'e-move' parking area at Fiumicino airport. Inaugurated in 2023, this new infrastructure dedicated to green mobility has 148 parking spaces and 74 22 kW (Kilowatt) recharging stations, accessible directly via Telepass.
