Climate change and energy transition have become increasingly important matters over the last few years. The goal of net- zero carbons emissions by 2050 is leading governments to set out legislative frameworks directed to tackle the issue which compel businesses to be prepared in effectively deal with new legal, social and ethical scenario.

But this must also be perceived as a source of new opportunities and incentives.
