Superbonus - Strengthening of the Ecobonus and Sismabonus for energy efficiency and building safety

(reference M2C3 in the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan)

The Superbonus provides tax deductions for expenses related to energy and seismic renovation of residential buildings. The measure stimulates economic and jobs growth while reducing energy consumption and favouring the green transition. Financed interventions include external insulation, efficient window frames, replacement of heating and air conditioning systems and installation of renewable energy generation systems. Support under the Superbonus requires a certified improvement of energy efficiency of at least two energy classes. The Recovery and Resilience Plan provides financing for a total of EUR 13.95 billion, in addition to national resources.

The investment is expected to enable the renovation of more than 100,000 buildings, with a total upgraded area of more than 36 million square metres (of which 3.8 million are earthquake-proof). The expected energy saving is about 191 Ktoe/year with a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions of about 667 Kton CO₂/year.

Hundreds of interventions financed by the Superbonus have already been completed. By 2023, energy requalification of buildings for at least 12 million square metres and anti-seismic work on at least 1.4 million square metres will have been finalised. By 31 December 2025, the objective is to ensure the energy requalification of buildings for at least 32 million square metres and anti-seismic work on at least 3.8 million square metres.

Gender Equality Certification System

(reference M5C1 in the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan)

The measure aims to ensure greater participation of women in the labour market and promote transparency to improve women’s working conditions through the implementation and enforcement of a national gender equality certification system. The certification is released to companies upon the respect of defined standards in terms of, for example, growth opportunities for women and maternity protection, to which incentives are attached.

The gender equality certification system was finalized in 2022, with more than 100 companies already obtaining the certification over the year. The Recovery and Resilience Facility finances the measure with EUR 10 million, with the main aim to support SMEs in the certification process. A dedicated IT system has been created and is operational.

Universal Civil Service

(reference M5C1 in the Italian Recovery and Resilience Plan)

The project aims to promote the individual and professional development of young people and their acquisition of skills, through non-formal learning experiences. The young people involved perform activities at the partner institutions concerning projects lasting between 8 and 12 months, in areas affiliated with the goals identified in the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and with a focus on digital and green skills.

The programme is already active and involves thousands of young participants. It is financed by the Recovery and Resilience Facility for EUR 650 million, with the objective of reaching at least 120,000 additional participants by the end of 2023.
