Vittoria tells us about the role that sustainability plays in Ferrovie’s business model, their efforts in innovation and the strategy that has made them a European pioneer in the issuance of green bonds: “To allow material development in the ESG field, the finance team responsibilities are crucial because finance is a key driver to motivate the company and its people to become more successful, efficient as well as more transparent, reporting about ESG commitment and results. A great change in this respect in my day-by-day work is the dialogue with the sustainability, operations and investment departments which is enhancing all of us in terms of performances and know-how.”
