18 2024 Sustainability Report The sustainability Strategy: Stakeholders, Material Topics and the ESG Plan Climate change, social inequalities, political tensions: the challenges facing humanity no longer have national borders, they affect the entire planet and therefore require global responses. The United Nations 2030 Agenda, to which the Next Generation EU and the Italian recovery and resilience plan directly relate, sets out the priorities which all countries must respond to and lays the foundations for a new development model that can deliver a better present and future for our planet and the people who inhabit it. We have decided to be part of this change by integrating sustainability further and further into our business model and promoting its spread throughout the entire value chain. Our commitment to a responsible business model has taken shape through the drafting and annual update of our Sustainability Report. This is not just a document, but a transparency tool that reflects our Environmental Impact and enables open dialogue with all our Stakeholders. From this growing awareness, we have developed concrete, measurable Goals and Achievements, integrated into a Sustainability Plan that today guides our strategic choices. In 2024, we took another significant step forward by calculating our Scope 3 CO2 Emissions - an initiative that represents not only an act of responsibility but also an opportunity to build a “shared framework,” actively involving all actors in our ecosystem. The SA 8000 Ethics Certification is an accredited standard that meets the needs of organisations that wish to differentiate themselves for their commitment to sustainable development, with a focus on social issues. In 1999, we were the third company in Italy to believe in and achieve the certification, which more than 20 years ago was already aiming to spread the word about sustainability and corporate social responsibility. Since then, these values have been integrated into every aspect of how we do business, values which today are, happily, shared increasingly widely. Stakeholders Our channels of communication with our stakeholders — such as our customer service, website and social networks, for example — along with engagement activities carried out throughout the year — from attendance at trade fairs to participation in development programmes, customer visits and supplier audits — are essential in obtaining a fuller and more accurate view of the sustainability context in which we operate. The perspectives, needs, and expectations that emerged from these interactions are essential for updating material topics and ensuring the proper definition of the company’s strategic priorities.
