This upgrade not only cuts down on energy consumption but also reflects the Vatican''s dedication to environmental stewardship, a core tenet of Pope Francis''s teachings.
Sustainable Resource Management and Renewable Energy: A Holistic Approach A cornerstone of the Vatican's sustainability strategy is the responsible management of natural resources like water and energy.
The Vatican's commitment to green energy is further exemplified by its partnership with the utility company Acea, which now supplies the state with electricity exclusively from renewable sources.

These stations are available not only for official Vatican vehicles but also for employees, representing a broader effort to modernize transportation and reduce the carbon footprint within the Vatican's borders.
