Terna’s tender procedures include several requirements relating to social (human rights, working conditions) and environmental matters which, for some categories relevant for ESG purposes, must be met from the qualification phase on. Procurement, which regards activities carried out in relation to Terna’s core business - so-called “key supplies” -, and which mainly includes supplies of materials and electrical equipment, contracts for the provision of works and services in the electricity transmission, telecommunications and IT sectors, is governed by the new Procurement Code.
