(Adnkronos) - Ciraci: “ Grazie ai protocolli si cerca di valutare il progetto soprattutto nei confronti degli stakeholder guardando ad un approccio più complesso, non solo economico ma anche sociale, perché gli impatti non sono solo ambientali ma anche sociali” ha detto Silvia Ciraci, responsabile Sostenibilità Infrastrutture ICMQ, in occasione di Infrastructure Academy 2024, evento tenutosi a Roma con focus su temi di grande attualità come la digitalizzazione, l’innovazione e la sostenibilità.

00:00Sustainability in recent years has become an essential element for all commitments,
00:09especially from the point of view of the design of infrastructures.
00:12It is therefore an element that must be taken into account.
00:15In recent years, in addition to the European and Italian regulatory instruments,
00:19such as CAM and PNRR,
00:22other international instruments have also been developed and brought to Europe,
00:26which allow us to look at sustainability from multiple points of view,
00:30not just from an environmental point of view.
00:32One of these is the Envision protocol,
00:36which looks at sustainability at 360 degrees.
00:39These protocols have found very fertile ground in Italy,
00:43also for the characteristics and peculiarities of the Italian context and the regulatory context.
00:47The Envision protocol, for example, is a protocol developed in the United States
00:52by the Institute for Sustainable Infrastructure,
00:54in collaboration with the University of Harvard's Zoffnas program,
00:58and looks at sustainability in all social, economic and environmental aspects.
01:02It goes from a purely prescriptive approach,
01:06which is what we know from the normative point of view,
01:09therefore only on environmental aspects,
01:11to a much more complex assessment.
01:14It starts from the planning of the project,
01:16to the design, to the implementation,
01:18and then to the end of the work.
01:20The importance of these sustainability protocols
01:22is precisely to integrate sustainability right from the start,
01:26so that it is the thread, the guiding thread of the design.
01:30Through different methodologies,
01:33it is possible to understand how the value of sustainability
01:36must be inserted into the design
01:39to make it understandable to the commission, to the project teams,
01:42but above all to the community, what is the importance of sustainability.
01:46Thanks to these protocols,
01:49we try to evaluate the project,
01:52especially in relation to the stakeholders,
01:55which are a fundamental element of the design,
01:58of the construction and of the infrastructural works,
02:01and therefore look at a much more complex approach,
02:05and therefore at sustainability,
02:07also in relation to economic aspects, for example,
02:10to the impact it could have on a community,
02:12and then above all to social aspects,
02:14because naturally the impacts are not only purely environmental,
02:18but also social.
