Nexi is committed to reducing its environmental impact and supporting the decarbonization of the digital payments industry, aligning with its ambition to achieve carbon Net Zero by 2040, 10 years ahead of international targets resulting from the Paris Agreement. This commitment is reinforced by its interim CO₂ reduction targets, approved by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi).
To drive meaningful change, Nexi actively measures and reports both its direct and indirect environmental impact across its entire value chain. It is dedicated to implementing a structured roadmap of strategic actions to cut carbon emissions and meet its SBTi-approved interim targets. Furthermore, Nexi integrates sustainability into its policies, fostering environmentally responsible practices across its solutions, services, processes, and operations. It continuously monitors progress to refine and enhance its approach where necessary.
Nexi's environmental commitment is recognized by its inclusion in the CDP "A-List" in 2025 and the inclusion for the 6th consecutive year in the S&P Global Sustainability Yearbook 2026.
Carbon Targets and Performances
Nexi has established ambitious decarbonization targets to reduce its carbon footprint and support the transition to a low-carbon economy. To directly address its operational emissions, the Group aims to reduce absolute Scope 1 and 2 market-based GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 compared to the 2021 baseline and to source 100% of its electricity from renewable sources by 2030, up from 51.7% in 2021. These commitments are supported by energy efficiency initiatives across offices and the gradual modernization of the corporate fleet with lower-emission alternatives.
In 2025, Nexi successfully achieved both of these mid-term targets ahead of schedule, reaching a 42% reduction in Scope 1 and 2 market-based emissions and sourcing 100% renewable electricity.
To address indirect emissions across its value chain, Nexi is engaging its suppliers in the transition. By 2027, the Group aims to have 78% of suppliers (by spend) for purchased goods and services and 70% of suppliers (by GHG emissions) for capital goods, based on the 2021 baseline, committed to setting CO₂ reduction targets.
Looking ahead, Nexi remains committed to its long-term ambition of achieving Net Zero emissions by 2040 through a 90% absolute reduction of Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions, with any residual emissions addressed through carbon removal solutions.
Nexi's approach to Circular Economy
Nexi is committed to a circular economy approach aimed at reducing waste and promoting responsible consumption across its operations. Core to this strategy are the recovery and recycling of materials, managed through dedicated procedures that ensure regulatory compliance. A focus is placed on reducing the use of non-renewable materials—particularly plastics and microplastics in cards—by progressively replacing them with renewable, low-impact alternatives. An ongoing analysis on plastic use will help identify further sustainability actions.
This circular mindset extends to Nexi’s solutions and products. The Group promotes digital alternatives to reduce hardware dependency and, where hardware is necessary, offers multi-purpose, low-impact devices designed for durability and waste reduction. Nexi also works with specialized partners to recycle, recover energy, and refurbish POS terminals, managing their end-of-life to close the loop.
In 2025, Nexi reached an 83.7% POS refurbishment rate, overpassing the target to have at least 80% in 2025, reinforcing its commitment to circularity and lifecycle extension.
