The nuclear sector is going through an era of unprecedented global expansion. According to the International Energy Agency (IEA), nuclear generation is set to reach record levels in 2025, while more than 70 gigawatts of new capacity are currently under construction worldwide — one of the highest levels in the past thirty years. In Europe, the European Commission has openly acknowledged having made a strategic mistake by moving away from nuclear energy, and is now orienting itself toward an energy mix in which nuclear plays a reliable baseload role alongside renewables. Installed nuclear capacity in the EU is expected to grow from 98 GW in 2025 to approximately 109 GW by 2050, with estimated investments of around €241 billion through that date.

In this context, entering the nuclear supply chain is not merely a market opportunity: it is a long-term industrial commitment.

Our certification journey
We are continuing our path toward ISO 19443 certification, the international standard specifically designed for organizations operating in the nuclear supply chain.

The project, officially launched in 2025, is now in full operational phase. Our Nuclear Team is working on multiple fronts: implementing regulatory requirements, cross-functional training across business units, and developing a quality culture aligned with the demands of one of the most regulated sectors in the world.

A goal that goes beyond certification
ISO 19443 represents the formal endpoint of the project, but its real value is broader. Adopting nuclear industry standards means raising the entire organization: refining internal processes, increasing traceability, strengthening risk management, and responding more effectively to the needs of clients and partners operating in high-criticality environments.

The IEA highlights that the expansion and diversification of nuclear supply chains — including investment in a skilled workforce — will be decisive in making nuclear energy safe and competitive. This is precisely the direction in which we are working.

The journey progresses
Activities are underway and the project is advancing according to plan. Our commitment is to communicate transparently every significant development along this path.
