SHV Energy supports environmental education with Liquigas initiative 1,2,3 Respira!
For the past six years, SHV Energy’s Italian subsidiary, Liquigas, has been running the “1,2,3… Respira!” educational program to raise awareness about air quality and environmental sustainability among middle school students. Initially launched in Northern Italy, the program is now nationwide, reaching over 300,000 students and 4,000 schools. It includes interactive activities, workshops, research, and a creative contest where students propose solutions to environmental challenges.
In 2024, new elements were added, such as a focus on biofuels, a podcast on Spotify, and a special award involving a “bug hotel” donation to the winning school. Liquigas also presented the project to Italy’s Chamber of Deputies, emphasizing its commitment to fostering dialogue on environmental responsibility.
Giuseppe Fiorino, CEO Liquigas, said: “I am very proud of the large success achieved across so many schools in Italy by this educational project on crucial topics such as air quality and the energy transition. Our goal is to provide students with the necessary tools to develop a critical awareness of environmental issues and prepare them to make responsible and virtuous choices, including in the energy sector, for a sustainable future. Thanks to its serious, impartial, and non-commercial approach, the project has also received great appreciation from teachers who continue to choose it after six years and to enthusiastically give us proof of participation from their students”.
