Practical application of the conceptual framework

	Economic	Social	Environmental
Project owner	Generation and redistribution of economic value Supply chain sustainability, evaluation of the SDGs compliance of all the suppliers Fighting active and passive corruption Shareholder and supplier continuous engagement Employment of local suppliers where possible, only 5% foreign suppliers Substitution of disposable and polluting components of the asphalt, to reduce future maintenance cost while reducing the environmental impact Research, development and innovation, smart mobility and viability monitoring Continuity for Heavy Good Vehicles from different businesses, interventions planning to reduce the economic impact of the stoppages Job creation	Engagement with local communities and continuous update of the group’s stakeholder map Road safety and crisis management Cybersecurity Connectivity between different regions served by the highway Workplace safety, also required to suppliers Human rights due diligences, identifying impacts and risks Human capital safeguard: transparent processes, equal opportunities, fighting discrimination Collaboration with public entities (hospitals, education, police, sport organizations, NGOs) for scholarships, awareness initiatives and training Reputation and relationship with media	Improvement of energy efficiency, employment of more sustainable lighting technologies Climate change management and mitigation of the impact of floods, drought and heat Pursuing decarbonization, reaching 100% of renewable energy purchased Increase in use of recyclable material, reducing the percentage of non-recyclable material on the total Biodiversity safeguard and reduction of animal deaths on the motorway Mitigation of the impact of noise pollution on people and on the environment at large Monitoring of the GHG emissions of Scope 1, 2 and 3 Waste management and management of hazardous waste
Project team	Impacts of construction sites on viability and HGV traffic Job creation on the territory Production of renewable energy on motorway facilities Territorial competitiveness, enhancing the aggregation of businesses Increase the attractiveness of the businesses network Reduction of time stuck in traffic and of the related economic cost	Road safety, adaptation of emergency lanes and prevention of car crashes Safeguard of health of citizens and communities Promotion of stakeholder engagement Promotion of cultural, historical and architectural sites Quality of life improvement	Biodiversity and habitat safeguard, regeneration of natural elements Adoption of circular economy practices Minimizing carbon footprint, especially for Scope 1 and 2 emissions and embodied carbon Minimization of land use and quality of land used, limit impermeabilization Mitigation of noise and vibration impact Mitigation of the impacts from the drainage systems and water contamination Sustainability of construction material
Public	Improved connectivity with industrial areas and harbors (Mestre, Marghera) Fair economic compensation for compulsory purchases Optimization of construction sites times, to reduce the impact on mobility Local job creation Positive impact on production (direct, indirect and induced) and related income Avoid a steep increase in tolls, which would reduce the economic benefits of the intervention	Minimization of impact on territories which already had major construction sites Protection of architectural sites Continuous dialogue with local authorities to enhance information exchange Safety of junctions Improve connectivity with secondary road network and Pedemontana Veneta Coherence of the intervention with sustainable mobility and smart working	Minimization of noise pollution Minimization of the reduction of air quality with the widening of the motorway Minimize land use, especially in protected agricultural areas (vineyards) Mitigation of pollution Safeguard of water resources Avoiding land contamination
