We are constantly striving to reduce our environmental impact, using the best available technologies, and we apply the highest standards to protect people’s health and safety. Our bond with the local community has always been strong and we are an integral part of the economic fabric of the territory that hosts us.
We adopt a Corporate Social Responsibility Policy, which establishes the commitment with our territory and is consistent with our clear and responsible governance model
We also share the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) identified by the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development of the United Nations and, in particular, we are inspired by some of them in our work:
Our 2023 Sustainability Report reflects our commitment to our stakeholders, with whom we maintain an open dialogue and a relationship of trust. We prepare it every year following the guidelines of the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative), one of the most important international standards used in this area.

Our propensity for innovation leads us to concentrate a large part of our investments on continuous improvements of plants and processes, therefore increasing their safety levels, reducing their environmental impact, and obtaining better production results.
We constantly apply the best available technologies, known as BAT, for the oil and gas refining sector with respect to emissions, consumption, soil protection and water resources.
To guarantee the reliability and efficiency of the plants, the Milazzo Refinery manages maintenance with dedicated resources and procedures subject to continuous improvement.
The completion of the direct connection to the Thermal Cogeneration Plant was decisive for increasing the company’s energy efficiency level and it is an important milestone in terms of reducing the environmental impact.
Today the cogeneration plant guarantees a large part of the refinery’s electricity needs and supplies sustainable electricity, because it is produced from natural gas, a fuel with a low environmental impact.
The Milazzo Refinery studies and creates innovative solutions. In particular, it has adjusted production and implemented new work processes for energy recovery and consumption optimisation. Among the innovations deriving from research projects and applied by RAM is the production of “bio” additives for fuels..
We are committed to guaranteeing a safe workplace, both for employees and for suppliers.
To more effectively manage all aspects relating to safety, health, the environment, energy and quality, the Milazzo Refinery has collected and formalized the related procedures and requirements in an Integrated Management System (IMS).
It manages the direct and indirect environmental aspects deriving from refining, product handling and energy production activities
It supervises all the activities and operations carried out that have or may have an effect on the energy performance of the refinery.
It intends to prevent any harmful event against the direct and indirect workers who operate within the refinery.
It is developed in order to prevent major accidents connected to certain dangerous substances and to limit the consequences for human health and the environment.
It includes activities for the production, handling and storage of propylene, the highest value-added stream among those produced.
The Refinery Quality Management System also includes the activities carried out by the Laboratory to:
The Chemical Laboratory is ISO 9001:2015 certified for the analysis of raw materials, fuels, internal consumption and discharge into the sea and, in relation to specific analysis (Emission Trading Process and control of discharge into the sea), is ISO/IEC accredited 17025:2018.
Since September 2011 under code 1211 for testing refinery oil and fuel gases as listed on the ACCREDIA website.
ACCREDIA is the Single National Body competent to grant or revoke Accreditation, at national level, of Testing Laboratories. ACCREDIA grants Accreditation to a Laboratory when it has ascertained its technical and management competence in accordance with the standard required.
Accreditation is the formal recognition of the Laboratory’s eligibility to determine the characteristics of a product and/or material based on specific procedure
