One of the most closely discussed issues of the contemporary historical period, both by the institutional world and also by civil society, especially following tragic geopolitical and also natural events, is that of energy transition. What has happened and been worked out so far in the regulatory and institutional spheres, however, cannot (and must not) be considered a definitive landing place, and even less so a passing “fashion”, but rather just one of the irrepressible stages of a long journey that will have to
to accompany us into the future, aimed at pursuing, through complex and articulated interventions in constant evolution, the desired, albeit difficult, objective of ensuring “sustainability” conditions that are fully compatible with satisfying the needs of the present, without, as a result, compromising the satisfaction of the same for future generations; These are complex and articulated interventions, mainly and originally of a regulatory and institutional nature, which, however, require the necessary and effective coexistence of a common understanding to be combined with a healthy entrepreneurial action, markedly marked by themes relating to “sustainability”, i.e. not only in the most commonly known environmental sense, but also with reference to respect for the wide range of profiles relating to human rights and best practices at governance level, all elements summarised in the acronym ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance).
