With the Polis project, approved by Decree Law 59/2021 and funded with €800 million – part of the National Recovery and Resilience Plan of the Next Generation EU programme – Poste Italiane confirmed its mission as a strategic pillar for Italy. The key objective of the project is to promote the country’s economic, social and territorial cohesion and to overcome the digital divide in small municipalities.
- Approximately 7,000 post offices located in small municipalities, will be transformed into digital hubs open 24/7 providing various Public Administration services (Italians will be able to request registry, judicial and social security certificates, identity documents such as electronic ID card and passport).
- Poste Italiane will develop Italy’s largest co-working network, including 250 interconnected sites.
- The Polis project will contribute to Poste Italiane’s ambitious goal of carbon neutrality by 2030, with initiatives promoting environmental protection.
The Polis project is key to the Groups’ ESG Strategy. The 2023-2025 Performance Share LTIP includes KPIs related to two of the eight ESG pillars, the “Green transition” and the “Value for the country” pillar which tracks progresses of the sites refurbishment work related to the Polis initiative.
