Who we are
Our Sustainability framework
Business ethics is a cornerstone for all our activities.
Our Sustainability policy is then declined in four axes, representing the most important areas of our impact
As a developer of renewable energy infrastructure, our core purpose is helping address the global challenge of decarbonisation by accelerating the low-carbon energy transition.
We have achieved carbon neutral operations (scope 1, 2 and business travel) across our platform and are working towards net-zero and science-based targets appropriate to our business context and growth strategy.
We have defined our procedure for climate change risk assessments in order to adapt our projects and business model to potential risks, to make our projects more resilient and to be able to provide the essential service of energy supply to our clients over the long-term.
We purchase renewable energy for our leased office and we are committed to operating in a manner that minimises adverse impacts upon the environment and maximises the efficient use of natural resources.
We are committed to zero harm and taking care of safety and wellbeing of our people. We monitor our safety performance and we train our people and partners to consider the culture of “safety first” as a top priority.
Galileo considers its employees to be the most important resource of the company and is committed to listening to them annually through an anonymised employee survey. The Group invests in people development and provides various training opportunities both on technical and personal skills, including ESG, presentation skills, HSE, compliance and cyber-security.
We are dedicated to creating a diverse and inclusive environment where everyone feels valued and empowered, free from discrimination or harassment, regardless of their background.
We are committed to maintaining a better than sector average performance for gender balance.
We recognise the importance of protecting human rights across our business, supply chain, and industry.
We assess human rights and modern slavery risks during the qualification process of our suppliers and we monitor them during the relationship, to prevent or mitigate any violation or misbehaviour that is directly related to our common activities.
Considering the nature of our business, we recognise the importance of having a strong understanding of where materials and equipment used in our projects originated as well as the businesses and activities involved in our supply chain.
The pre-qualification process for EPC suppliers includes a human rights risk assessment and a questionnaire to assess the level of alignment to our overall ESG priorities.
At Galileo, we recognize the significance of fostering strong, enduring relationships and partnerships with the communities where we operate to create lasting shared value. We are focused on supporting local communities in the vicinity of our projects, working with them collaboratively to address community challenges and create shared solutions.
We aim to operate in a manner that enhances our reputation in our industry and maximises stakeholder satisfaction. We aim to maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders also collecting feedback and suggestions through the email: [email protected]
