Snam corporate and industrial activities in Italy

Snam, a major Italian energy infrastructure operator, has highlighted both its social initiatives and its industrial history. The company expanded its ‘Insieme per gli altri’ corporate volunteering program, which addresses food poverty. In its fifth edition, the initiative grew from seven to 24 Italian cities, involving 1,500 volunteers and 47 host organizations to facilitate food recovery and distribution.

To mark its 85th anniversary, Snam held a celebration in Rome attended by President Sergio Mattarella and various government ministers. Founded in 1941 as the Società Nazionale Metanodotti, the company has been a central figure in Italy’s industrial development, spanning from post-war reconstruction to the modern energy transition.

During the event, Minister of Environment and Energy Security Gilberto Pichetto Fratin highlighted the strategic importance of energy networks, noting that Italy has reached 90% gas storage capacity, meeting European Union targets ahead of schedule. Snam CEO Agostino Scornajenchi emphasized that gas remains a critical resource for ensuring energy security and flexibility when other sources are unavailable.

Snam leadership and the Snam Foundation also discussed the company’s broader social contributions. These include supporting addiction recovery, hosting Ukrainian orphans, and repurposing land seized from the mafia in Corleone for agricultural projects, such as avocado and olive plantations.
