Rail infrastructure projects play a key role in driving the sustainable development of the Country, as strategic components in the development of more accessible and resilient cities and communities. At the same time, they can and must enhance landscape identity and improve regional cohesion and the quality of life of local communities.
Against this backdrop, our commitment towards Sustainability aims to steer the design process, and the company as a whole, towards embracing sustainable development objectives, nationally and internationally, by harmonising relations between projects, infrastructure and communities and reconciling Italferr’s engineering know how with a greater focus on design and social and economic factors.
At Italferr, we address Sustainability in both the design process and as an overarching ESG strategy, by rolling out ad hoc standards and gradually innovating our sustainability assessment methods. Furthermore, both Italferr and the FS Group, are engaged in an intense R&D partnership, between themselves and with the broader scientific community, to support our experimental efforts in this field. We promote and disseminate the culture of sustainability through the production of scientific guidelines and publications, training programmes and participation in conferences and seminars.

Italy is a country markedly prone to natural disasters, a situation that has been aggravated in recent years by the increasingly dramatic effects of climate change, so transport infrastructure security plays a critical role in ensuring the safety, continuity and sustainability of the service. Running through mountainous, hilly and coastal areas, the railway infrastructure is particularly exposed ...
