Sustainability led by People and for People
Regulatory News:
NHOA Group (NHOA.PA, formerly Engie EPS) (Paris:NHOA) has
published today its 2023 Sustainability Report.
Sustainability has always been the main focus for NHOA Group and
is deeply rooted in the nature of its business units, all dedicated
to a single mission: enabling the global transition towards clean
energy and sustainable mobility, shaping a better future for next
generations so that they can live in harmony with our planet.
NHOA Group accelerates the energy transition every day
through:
- renewable energy storage systems, through NHOA Energy,
with over 2GWh of projects across 5 continents; and
- electric mobility with Free2move eSolutions, the joint
venture with Stellantis, and Atlante, one of the largest
fast and ultra-fast charging networks in Europe for electric
vehicles, with over 2,000 charging points online across Italy,
France, Spain, and Portugal.
Pursuing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the
Sustainability Strategy is rooted in two pillars, People and
Innovation while also recognizing that Innovation cannot exist
without People.
"In less than a decade, NHOA has turned from a Polytechnic
spin-off generating a few hundred thousand euros to a group with
over 270 million revenues, thanks to a team that today counts
nearly 600 extraordinary people of over 40 nationalities. Our
strong attention to people development, combined with 52% of the
management team being women, makes it that NHOA is setting new
growth and value standards.
This 2023 Sustainability Report is a summary of this growth and
proof of our commitment to sustainability and new generations. The
dedication and passion of our People make NHOA a place where
excellence thrives and harmony prevails. Through the NHOA Élite
Program, we are nurturing tomorrow’s leaders and promoting a
culture rooted in Leadership, Commitment and Perseverance, as well
as Harmony. Together, we are creating a better future where
sustainability is led by People and for People," commented
Carlalberto Guglielminotti, Founder and CEO of NHOA
Group.
NHOA’s Sustainability Strategy is built around enhancing
people both inside and outside the company. In 2023, NHOA launched
an ambitious employee policy, the People Strategy, aimed at
all employees and extending its application beyond the organization
through Diversity & Inclusion-Driven Education and Give Back to
Communities initiatives developed or supported by NHOA.
With the People Strategy rooted in the values of inclusion and
diversity, physical and mental wellbeing of employees, NHOA has
created one of the most advanced corporate welfare and wellbeing
programs in Europe, the NHOA Élite Program, which forms an
integral part of the employee policy and provides all employees
with the tools to become élite leaders in their respective
fields.
Integrating passion and commitment within a broader focus on
holistic wellbeing, the People Strategy aims to create an
environment that fosters excellence and leadership,
embracing integration and equal opportunities for all
employees, allowing them to thrive in both their professional and
personal lives.
The NHOA Élite Program was inspired by a dual consideration.
Firstly, 80% of managerial responsibilities involve managing people
and emotions, areas where training and education are virtually
non-existent within traditional companies. Secondly, scientific
research highlights the impact of digitalization over the past
decade, particularly on Generation Z, with studies stating how
digitalization has profoundly affected their emotional and
psychological wellbeing. At the same time, Generation Z is entering
the job market, placing a strong emphasis on corporate values,
mission, and social commitment to local communities. These
reflections led to the creation of the People Strategy and the NHOA
Élite Program, recognizing the need for an employee policy focused
on these critical aspects for the growth of a new generation of
leaders.
The NHOA Élite Program offers comprehensive training and support
from world-class experts in physical and mental wellbeing, along
with performance optimization training. The main goal is to promote
a culture of excellence, harmony, and balance within every business
unit. For this reason, the program provides all employees with
access to training, coaching, and support developed in élite
contexts, overseen by the Technical Director of the program,
Alessandro Serra, former Head Coach of National World Cup
Teams, and Katia Santus, former Alpine Skiing World Cup
athlete and national instructor.
The over 50 initiatives offered by the NHOA Élite
Program, which saw participation from over 83% of employees,
are structured on four pillars: diversity and inclusion, physical
wellbeing, mental balance, and performance optimization.
With more than 40 nationalities represented within the company,
diversity and inclusion are the foundations of daily life at
NHOA. For this reason, Daniele Cassioli, the most
successful Paralympic athlete in history with 28 world titles, was
chosen as Ambassador for diversity and inclusion and,
through NHOA Ski Team, also two other exceptional athletes,
Martina Vozza, the youngest athlete of the Italian
Paralympic National Team, and her guide Ylenia
Sabidussi.
These are not sponsorship initiatives but true involvement of
Paralympic athletes in the company’s life to inspire NHOA
employees towards the values of sustainability, passion,
commitment, and perseverance, in line with the Group’s culture
and value framework.
Corporate life is also filled with weekly opportunities where
high-profile athletic trainers organize activities for
employees' physical wellbeing directly in the office, from
postural and genetic tests followed by dedicated athletic
programming coordinated by Marco Tagliaferri, to in-office
workouts with Stefania Bianchini, and nordic walking, close
to company locations.
On issues related to mental balance, NHOA Group provides its
employees and their families with over 60 professionals from the
Progetto Psiche, including psychologists, psychotherapists,
psychiatrists, neuropsychiatrists, speech therapists, and
nutritionists who offer continuous training services, mental
wellbeing workshops, a psychological helpdesk, an anti-violence
helpdesk, and individual therapy sessions focused on prevention and
awareness.
Regarding performance optimization, which is as crucial in a
high-growth company as in personal life, NHOA Group has adopted the
S.F.E.R.A. Model through which the entire management team of
NHOA Group companies is trained, with the direct involvement of the
model’s creator, Giuseppe Vercelli, Professor of Psychology
at the University of Turin, Head of the Psychological Area of
Juventus F.C., FISI, and the official psychologist of CONI for 5
Olympic Games, along with his entire team.
The NHOA Élite Program also extends to initiatives
developed or supported by NHOA that embrace communities and
educate on diversity and inclusion. Among these is the NHOA
Ski Team, a unique social project with the ambition to become a
national educational model for all sports clubs that feel the
responsibility to raise young people in a context of excellence,
balance, and inclusion. The project, at the Italian level, started
in Piedmont and Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and is expanding to Veneto
with the NHOA Game Academy led by Giulia Gianesini,
former World Cup athlete, national instructor, and Technical
Director of the Veneto Committee.
Commitment to people and communities is essential as it
represents the foundation of a positive and sustainable corporate
culture. For these reasons, NHOA Group employees have the
opportunity to participate in activities with blind children and
athletes from the Real Eyes Sport Association and to support
the Theodora Foundation, bringing smiles to sick children in
hospitals, during all corporate events.
This commitment must extend beyond the workplace, as companies
that actively support their communities, directly involving the
management team and all employees, not only create a positive
social impact but also inspire and transfer, both inside and
outside the company, a value framework on which the concept of
élite leadership is founded.
This is just a summary of NHOA Group's Sustainability Strategy,
which has led to extraordinary results such as the design of NHOA
Energy systems that underwent a rigorous Life Cycle Assessment,
conducted in accordance with the highest international PCR
standards, receiving EPD (Environmental Product Declaration)
certification. The assessment covered the entire lifecycle,
from cradle to grave, analyzing the production, distribution,
installation, use, maintenance, and end-of-life stages of the
systems, which are based on proprietary power electronics and
cutting-edge LFP batteries. Additionally, Atlante, in 2023 alone,
avoided emissions of 7,000 tCO2, which are expected to
exceed 120,000 by 2030: more than double the total Scope 3
emissions at the Group level.
Comprehensive descriptions of all the social, environmental,
governance, and integrated sustainability goals achieved are
available in the 2023 Sustainability Report, which can be
