An inside look at the ATP's commitment to sustainability

The ATP recently announced the publication of its first Sustainability Report, offering an in-depth look at the ATP’s ongoing commitment to sustainability through the ATP Serves program.  

The report provides insight into the ATP’s strategy for addressing its climate impact, an overview of key initiatives implemented to date and a look ahead at future actions.

“Sustainability, often framed in terms of fear and urgency, is, at its core, an opportunity – to innovate, to forge new partnerships and to inspire. Our inaugural sustainability report celebrates the strides we've made, the milestones we've reached and the journey ahead,” explains ATP CEO Massimo Calvelli.
