Abstract: This study considers and defines the relationship between the policies the gas companies and gas distributors use in order to promote and encourage its customers to behave responsibly and maintain a sustainable consumption even in the highly debated activity sector, energy. Starting from the definition of sustainability, meeting today's needs without sacrificing the ability of future generations to meet their own needs (Sustainable Development Goals, 2030 Agenda, 2015), also known as sustainable development, companies underline and support the importance of such a development policy. Corporate Social Responsibility is an aspect of corporate governance through which companies have initiated a range of socially responsible actions that can be quantified in terms of sustainability and sustainable performance. These actions will be analyzed and researched during the article. The indicators will be measured and the main results highlighted. The essential role these companies have in the energy field in Europe, together with innovative sustainable development policies, help to avoid, reduce or control the harmful impact of industrial activities on the environment and population.
