The 4th ASECAP Sustainability Forum, will take place in Rome on the 15th of December 2025 at the MAXXI Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo.
The event is organized in cooperation with AISCAT, host of the conference.
The European Commission adopted the new circular economy action plan (CEAP). It is one of the main building blocks of the European Green Deal, Europe’s agenda for sustainable growth and competitiveness.
The EU’s transition to a circular economy will reduce pressure on natural resources and will create sustainable growth and jobs. It is also a prerequisite to achieve the EU’s 2050 climate neutrality target and to halt biodiversity loss. But what exactly does the circular economy mean? And what would be the benefits? The circular economy is a model of production and consumption, which involves sharing, reusing, repairing, refurbishing and recycling existing materials and products as long as possible. In this way, the life cycle of products is extended.
In practice, it implies reducing waste to a minimum. When a product reaches the end of its life, its materials are kept within the economy wherever possible thanks to recycling. These can be productively used again and again, thereby creating further value. Reusing and recycling products would slow down the use of natural resources, reduce landscape and habitat disruption and help to limit biodiversity loss.
Another benefit from the circular economy is a reduction in total annual greenhouse gas emissions. Deployment of EVs as well as sustainable infrastructures are seen among the solutions to reduce CO2 emissions. But grid connection might be a bottleneck for charging-infrastructure rollouts. How are motorway operators facing those challenges?
This year also marked the first Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) disclosures for the 2024 financial year. Motorway concessionaires, with more than 500 employees, had to disclose their sustainable data according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS). All undertakings in scope therefore disclosed information on their ESG-related impacts, risks and opportunities. What experience do the motorway concessionaires have with the new reporting? What are the main findings? How are they measuring the ESG performance?
