Sustainability

We work in the area alongside Italian small and medium-sized enterprises and people. For us, sustainability represents a lever for creating value for society, people and the environment.

Our sustainability strategy

A solid sustainability strategy for our Group represents a means to create value that considers the impact on people, the environment and the community. Our sustainability plan, consistent with the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, is structured according to the ESG framework. We believe that only by integrating business strategies with social and environmental objectives can we achieve our mission, which is to make a positive contribution to the real economy and create value for the community.
