| Category | University | Disclosure in IPs: Planned environmental performance objectives | IP document year | Disclosure in SRs: Reported environmental performance results | SR document year |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Energy | Bologna | Targets: (i) + 15% of electricity produced; (ii) keep 100% of electricity acquired from renewable sources | 2020/2022; and 2021/2023 |
| 2020; and 2021 |
| Rome | Target: reduce energy consumption and invest in energy efficiency | 2020/2022 | In 2020, the University continued its commitment to energy efficiency. It by through energy redevelopment interventions that led to significant energy and cost savings | 2020 | |

| Green | Turin | Target: consolidate and enhance the environmental sustainability policies implemented by the “Green Office UniToGO” and by the other relevant structures (Objective 1.3.4) | 2021/2023 | “UniTo Green Office” promotes environmental sustainability initiatives. The environmental sustainability strategy in the UniToGO Action Plan aims to promote the achievement of Objective 1.3.4. […] | 2019/2020–2020/2021 |
| Waste | Florence | Target: strengthening the separate collection through Ecotappe*. (*waste collection points). | 2020/2022 | Containers for separate waste collection have been numerically enhanced | 2020 |
| Padua | Target: new special waste collection and disposal service with particular attention to sustainability and energy recovery criteria | 2020/2022 | In 2020, 89.7% of the special waste produced in the University was sent for recovery (a value higher than 81.5% in 2019). With the new tender (2020–2021 and 2022–2023) it was established that at least 50% of the hazardous and non-hazardous special waste of chemical and sanitary origin produced in the University should be recycled | 2020/2021 | |
| Mobility | Florence | Target: feasibility study for the purchase of bicycles and setting up racks | 2020/2022 | Questionnaires were administered to systematically collect data about the move modes of the university community, the services, and the facilities of the campus | 2020 |
| Rome | Target: creation of velo-stations | 2018/2020 | To promote the use of bicycles and car sharing, eight velo-stations were designed and installed | 2018 | |
| Carbon emissions | Padua | Target: reduction of the carbon footprint, acting on energy sources and mobility | 2019/2021; 2020/2022; and 2021/2023 | The calculation of the University’s carbon footprint is an initiative born in 2018 that aims to quantify the environmental impact and then effectively guide the actions undertaken to reduce and contain annual emissions. Compared to 2018, there was an 18% reduction in overall University emissions (SR 2019–2020). Compared to 2019, there was a 28% reduction in overall University emissions (SR 2020–2021) | 2019/2020; and 2020/2021 |
| Biodiversity | Florence | Target: enhancement and cataloging of museum botanical collections | 2020/2022 | The botanical collections are cataloged in paper or digital form. In 2020, 26,284 cards were completed. The staff of the Botanical Garden cared for 4,000 plants | 2020 |
| Dematerialization | Padua | Target: digitization of processes and dematerialization of documents | 2018/2020 | Thanks to the introduction of digital procedures, around 15 tons of paper were saved in 2018 | 2018 |
