Andrea Alberton

I am a chemical and process engineer graduated with honors at the University of Cagliari, Italy, in the 2013.
Through my university career I became passionate about water treatment solutions and water management related topics which I further developed during my dissertations focusing first on the biological wastewater treatments at the municipal wastewater treatment of Cagliari and then within the research laboratories of the University of Cagliari testing Rhodotorula glutinis yeast ability applied to the biological wastewater treatments.
My professional career started within the Oil&Gas industry as maintenance engineer where I have been involved in the maintenance services management for the biggest multinational oil companies worldwide, to move in 2018 to Philip Morris International at the Manufacturing & Technology Production site in Bologna as Utilities Engineer within the Facility and Utilities department.
This role enabled me to gain fundamental expertise both in the O&M management and technology solutions of the main production utilities with a strong focus on Water and Wastewater Treatment systems.
Since 2019 I have been a member of the Alliance for Water Stewardship team of Bologna site, becoming the team leader in 2022 after moving to Manufacturing Sustainability department as Sustainability Engineer.
In October 2024 I joined the global operations sustainability department as Project Lead Environmental Sustainability. The role focuses on Climate Change, Water and Biodiversity topics relevant for the entire Philip Morris International Supply Chain.
